On To The Season Opener

Hi Everyone,

Well, scrimmages are over. Now it is on to the regular season opener for all teams. We look forward to playing at "our house" in September. Thanks to all the families that got their players to scrimmages in August. You can see that the players have a good time playing against other opponents. It's a good measure of progress, but shouldn't be considered as a final barometer of how a team will perform.

There are still a few weeks to work out the kinks, and then we're all 'ready for some football"

See you at the games!

Until next time,

Coach Rob
Go, Hartford Football!

It's Football Season!

Hi Everyone,

It's football season! We have our first practice day in - we had great weather for all teams. We had many parents watching (thank you for respecting our need to keep all practice areas clear), and it was a very good day. Those players that ordered custom mouthguards got fitted and got them today. If you want one for your son, you can sign up - check with your coach about it.

Most importantly, keep your son hydrated throughout the day. Stay away from sodas, and drinks like Red Bull, Monster, etc. They do not help, and can lead to dehydration. Water is best, Gatorade/Powerade if they need to.

Players should always eat light before practice, or as Coach Jewell says, "You'll leave it on the field."

A few tips as we start the season.

Go Hartford Football,

Coach Rob
