It is that time of year. Scrimmages begin tomorrow (Saturday) for some of the teams at Grafton High School (you can find details on our Schedules or Calendar page). Make sure your player is there by 8:00 AM if your team is participating.
We were able to put in a basic offense at 6th grade, so it will be fun to watch the kids execute the plays. This is a full contact scrimmage, so there will be hitting, and some dings and bruises as there always are. Team managers will be there to help out.
If this is your first experience, there is nothing like the thundering sound of cleats approaching you on the sideline as a play goes by (make sure you sit far enough back from the sideline!). It sounds like wild horses on the run - very cool.
More importantly, now all the lower grades (5th through 7th) team coaches are posting to their blogs. Follow your team on our website, so you know what the coaches are talking about each week.
I'll be more focused now on coaching the 6th grade Orange team offense, but will still blog on other club news. Read the website regularly, we'll keep it updated - even in the offseason.
Enjoy the season!
Coach Whitemore
