The weight room will be closed on Friday July 30 and Friday August 6. Next week, ALL GRADE LEVELS should lift together on Thursday for “Day #2.”
I apologize for the inconvenience that tomorrow’s closing may cause.
Also, for each of the next two Wednesday sessions, players will need both sneakers and cleats!
As we officially start our Summer Strength & Conditioning program on Tuesday 7/6, here is the schedule that has finally been confirmed:
Grades 11 & 12: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 6pm – 8pm
Grades 7-10: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 6pm – 8pm.
If you have a LEGIT reason as to why you can not commit to these three (3) nightly workouts each week, the weight room is open Monday and Thursday ONLY from 6am – 7:15am.
We have only six (6) weeks until the start of double sessions for the HS levels that start of August 16 (Monday). Building on the success of CapitaLand Camp is imperative. YOU must continue to improve as a player – WE must continue to improve as a program – this is directly under YOUR control. Also, Modified practice starts on September 1.
A reminder – our football camp is at COHOES HIGH SCHOOL – Sunday 6/27 through Thursday 7/1.
Sunday is 4:30pm to 8:15pm and Monday is 5pm to 8:15pm. These two days are helmet and shoulder pads.
Tuesday and Wednesday are both 5pm to 8:30pm – you are in FULL PADS because it’s FULL CONTACT.
Thursday is the scrimmage day – JV (grades 9 and 10) STARTS at 4:30 and Varsity (grades 11 & 12) STARTS at 5:30.
You need a mouth piece for camp…
Traffic on I-787 and through Cohoes can be very slow – PLEASE plan accordingly.
Now that our school’s spring sports seasons are completed, we must have a brief but MANDATORY informational football meeting discussing important team events and key dates from now until the start of the season in August. This is a meeting for BOTH players and parents/guardians.
The meeting will take place on Thursday JUNE 3 in the South Forum in Columbia High School (2nd floor in the South Tower). Players from current grades 11 and 10 will meet from 6:30pm to 7:00pm while current grades 9 and 8 will meet from 7:15pm to 7:45pm.
Tuesday, 5-18 is our chance to vote yes to support our student-athletes-artists-kindergartners. While this may not be a perfect year, with 47.4 positions being cut, we will still have Athletics, Arts, Music, Kindergarten, AP and Electives, plus Math, Science, Social Studies, English, and Phys Ed. The tax increase is 3.55%
Proposition # 5 will give back the Team Room for our Athletes and the Arts Space to the Art Groups. With 73.4% state aid, the cost to us is minimal.
Please vote for 3 board candidates that match your interests.
Thank you for helping the students in this difficult year.
Registration and payment for the 2010 CapitaLand Camp is due to Coach Romanowski prior to June 1st. With the extended Memorial Day break this year, please get the paperwork to Coach Romanowski prior to the vacation. Equipment will be distributed prior to exams starting in June.
