Practice Time Changes

8/19/2019 - The preseason practice schedule will be adjusted Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday due to the expected heat.  We will use this extra time off the field to update contact information, get all the players entered into Hudl, issue the remaining equipment and install plays in the classrooms. 
Monday we will also have Required Impact Testing for all freshman, juniors and transfer students.  Impact testing is required by law for any athlete in Massachusetts. Baseline tests are used to assess an athlete’s balance and brain function (including learning and memory skills, ability to pay attention or concentrate, and how quickly he or she thinks and solve problems), as well as for the presence of any concussion symptoms. Results from baseline tests (or pre-injury tests) can be used and compared to a similar exam conducted by a health care professional during the season if an athlete has a suspected concussion.
Monday

  • 5:00 pm; All other players report, freshman go to library for impact testing, other to locker room

The Gold Card is a discount card that we ask the players to sell on behalf of the program.  It serves as the primary source of funds for the program.  We use this money to buy extras for the team.  Each player will be given 20 cards and asked to sell them for $20 each or return them.  The players are also motivated with prizes and rewards if they sell 20 or more cards.  It also serves as a chance for them to work on their personal skills.  No parent or family is expected to buy all of their kids cards, the kids need to do the work.  Please contact me with questions.
