MS Football Week 0

It is time to start playing games. The varsity has had a couple scrimmage opportunities that MS does not get. It will not be perfect this week but it will be an opportunity to have fun, learn and grow as the Warriors take the field for the first time.

Weekly Theme - Love

1 John 4:18-19 “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because He first loved us.”

Volunteering

Our team mom, Deanna Muehlenbrock, will be contacting people to volunteer. We need your help. We expect each family to sing-up for 2 or 3 things over the course of the season. By signing up first you get your choice of opportunities.

Home Games

Football players do not go home after school on game days. Your son will be feed a meal after school at the field house prior to getting ready for the games. We have moved our game times up this year so that they can get home earlier in the evening.

School Wide Parent Meeting

This is a required meeting for any parent that will have a son or daughter participating in a sport at CCS during the 2010-2011 school year. The meeting will start at 7:00 PM on Monday night with what I believe will be a great presentation on the Role of Parents in athletics by Jim Ater of Proactive Coaching. Resources will be available for $5. The meeting will also include a presentation from Dr. Rand of Methodist Hospital on injuries as well as important updates to our athletic hand book.

Season Tickets

We have had a lot of people purchase season tickets and I greatly appreciate your support. You can still order yours today at www.CypressChristian.org/Football/Tickets1.cfm Season tickets are good for all home games at any level. 10% of all season ticket sales go to the school benevolence fund and another 10% goes to the general athletic booster account so you are helping more than just football.

Additional Practice Clothing

I will place the additional order for shorts and shirts Monday. If you have not emailed me the additional sizes you would like please do so as soon as possible. MS players will get their clothing this week.
