It is hard to believe but the football season is getting close. The first day of practice is August 1 and that is just a little over 4 months away. Below is a little spring football and other off-season information.

Spring Practice

Spring practice will be May 9 through May 20, with our Spring Game on May 21 at 10 AM. Actual days and times are yet to be determined. In the past we have gone M-W-F and will probably be something similar to that again. TAPPS has changed a rule and 8th graders are no longer allowed to participate so our numbers will be lower but we should still have a pretty full team.

Strength and Conditioning

We are seeing players make big gains in their strength as they workout with Coach Fields. Please encourage your son to attend. The workouts are M-W-F in the weight room and usually finish at about 4:45.

King of Houston Combine

The 1960 Sun is hosting a small college combine at Northland Christian on Saturday April 16. Registration is $50, with 10 percent of the proceeds donated to Northwest Assistance Ministries. The event is open to all current high school students. The entry deadline is April 1. Athletes can visit www.kingofhoustonfootball.com to register or gain more information.

Summer Camps

We will be hosting our one day minicamp on July 23 and I will once again be working to invite great college football programs to work the camp. I will be updating the website in the next couple of weeks with information about all of the 2011 football camps in our area.

Summer Strength and Conditioning and 7 on 7

I am working on the summer schedule and will have more information as we get closer to spring practice. We will be participating in 7 on 7 at Fort Bend Baptist again on Tuesday nights in June. I am also considering a 7 on 7 private school tournament in Houston on June 24 and 25.
