Parents,
I know this may seem a bit weird as we just had our end of the year banquet but we are about to kick off the off season activities for our Football program. To kick off this effort we are going to hold a Spring Info meeting in the Cafeteria at Ponderosa at 7 pm on May 17th. This is not mandatory but it is highly encouraged that at least one parent be in attendance to be fully prepared for what is planned this summer.
A brief list of what will be covered during this meeting is below:
- Summer Weights
- Summer calendar
- Team Store
- 7v7 plans
- College Camps – individuals
- Personal helmets
- Philosophy and expectation
- Preseason Camp
- FundRaising efforts
I am sure I am forgetting something here but this should give you a snapshot of what is planned. I have included a flyer for our summer conditioning program. That can be registered for here – Summer Weights. Football will have an additional session (Friday Morning – 7:30-9:30) on top of what is on this flyer and we are working with all Season D sports to modify the workload for those players until their seasons are over.
Also attached is a brief summary of the program from our Head Coach (Jaron Cohen). This is a great overview for anyone new to the program that should give you a sense of the quality of the program you are joining. As a dad of 2 players that have been in the program I can’t speak highly enough of what Coach Cohen has built. I am biased, but I think Ponderosa is the best overall program in Parker.
Lastly, if you know of anyone that is wanting to play but did not get this email please forward it to them and have them fill out this Intent to Play link.
If anyone has any questions on anything I have touched on – or haven’t – please let me know. Feel free to check out our website (link below) for additional info about the program, booster club, etc.
