Summer Schedule and Information

Welcome to the 2010 season of Warrior football. It should be an exciting one from every perspective. Our off season training will begin on Tuesday. Everyone will get credit for Memorial Day as I have heard a fair amount of excitement about making all 40 workouts and going to the Taste of Texas. For a complete summer schedule including attendance awards please see the website at www.CypressChristian.org/Football/Off-Season.cfm. One change is that Warrior Wednesday is going to move to Thursday and probably get a new name as a result. We will have 7 on 7 this Tuesday at CCS. Starting June 8 we will be traveling to Fort Bend and will probably need a few drivers.

I will continue to send regular emails but want to encourage you to subscribe to the RSS feed for both the football headlines and the Warrior Link on the new school website. Each sport has a Warrior Link so you will need to be on the football pages. To subscribe just click on the word subscribe above my picture on the Warrior Link and at the bottom of the headlines. When you subscribe to the RSS feed the information will come right into your email or onto your home page depending on how you set it up.

If you missed the parent meeting after the scrimmage or simply need the information again here is what was discussed.

Coaching Your Student’s Passion
I believe that this will be a tremendous event that will be a great encouragement to you as a parent. The speaker will be Bruce Brown and I use a great number of his resources in our football program. I hope you come and make it a point to invite friends and neighbors. You will be benefiting our schools athletic programs and I believe you will benefit greatly as a parent who has the tough job of raising a teenager in todays culture.
June 24 at 7:00 p.m. Cost: $20 ($35 per couple) (Admission includes two Bruce Brown booklets.)

High School Football Camp
June 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Cost: $35 This camp is coached by college coaches from programs that I know personally are like our program at CCS. It is both a basic skills camp for all positions and a recruiting opportunity for the colleges that come to the camp. So far Dordt College, Greenville College, and Taylor University are committed to coming.

Season Tickets
You can purchase or renew your season tickets through the website. A reserved stadium seat for every home football game at any level is just $100. 10% of the ticket revenue goes into the schools benevolence fund and another 10% goes into the general athletic booster account.

Football Booster Club
I personally join each year and this season there are new benefits including a replica game jersey and a reduced cost for the Coach's Club level. 10% of the money raised goes into the schools benevolence fund and another 10% goes into the general athletic booster account. Our budget covers about a third the cost of our program and the rest comes from ticket sales, booster club memberships, and sponsorships.

Football Sponsorships
There are a lot of sponsorship opportunities with football like Field Signs, Media Guide, PA announcements on Friday Nights and Website Opportunities. Your business or one you know of may be interested in this opportunity. This can also be done in conjunction with the schools larger Partners in Education program.

Old Uniforms can still be purchased for $10 each. The new uniforms should arrive in mid June and we will have an event to show them off and take pictures for the media guide.

School Service
I am asking each football player to donate 10 hours of their time to improve our campus over the summer. This will be done in small groups following the morning workouts or on some select workdays. This is a great opportunity to give back to the school as well as show some servant leadership. More details will be provided soon and we will probably start working the second week in June.

Please remember that the first day of practice is August 2 so please take all your vacations prior to that if at all possible.
