Why are we meeting? • There are a lot of things scheduled in the next couple of months designed to better prepare our team and your player for the 2012 season. • We have a large number of players participating in spring sports that we do not have contact with to get them information. • We also have a large number of players who are unaccounted for this spring??
Why are we meeting? • We need a commitment from the players and parents to help get the students where they need to be. • We also have a number of students who are working. We want to get the schedules out early so they can adjust their work schedules to be available.
Why are we meeting? • Nothing is mandatory, however, it definitely makes a positive impact on the coaches when we see players being committed in the offseason and at certain events.

Spring/Summer BFS • Currently we have BFS running after school on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 3:00-4:15. • The number of football players that are lifting is very low for two reasons. • Good Reason- a number of players are playing spring sports • Bad Reason-players are choosing to not workout and expect to be better football players in the fall??
Spring/Summer BFS • If your player has not made the Spring BFS and they are not playing a spring sport, We Want Them in the Weight Room!! • I have been involved with the Football program at Smyrna in some way for the past 22 years. • There is a direct correlation with the commitment from our players in the weight room and how well those same players do on the field. • All of the players that earned post season honors last year were committed to the weight room!!
Spring/Summer BFS • Summer lifting will start June 18th • We will be lifting two days a week • Mondays and Thursdays from 6:00-7:30 pm • We are aware of vacations and work • This is why we are having the meeting • The later time allows for rides • We are only asking for 2 days for BFS • This is more than just lifting, this is a time for Teambuilding, Speed and Strength

Exception will be Thursday July 5th. Helmets and shoulder pads. • The cost is $60.00 per player. The camp will consist of practice time and 7 on 7 time each day with Smyrna High School Staff. This is a great opportunity to show the coaches what you can do and prepare for the upcoming season.
Positive Training Team Camp • Other teams will be invited and have an opportunity to attend. • We moved to a weekly format so that we can accommodate more players. We know that vacations will be taken so if you go away you only miss one day not the entire camp. • Equipment handout for the Positive Training Team Camp will be after Lifting on June 18th for those players that are not attending the NFL Team camp.
Pre-Season Practice • Practice officially starts August 15th • We need the players here so scheduling vacations before the 15th is very helpful in avoiding conflicts. • I will have a Pre-Season Schedule prepared over the summer and sent out to all the players as soon as it is finalized.

Smyrna Athletic Boosters • I am always looking for parents who may be interested in helping the program out in different ways. • We need help behind the scenes sometimes and parents have always been helpful. • One great way to get involved is to be an active participant in our Athletic Boosters. • There is a meeting tonight after this meeting in the cafeteria. • I would highly encourage you to attend and become a part of the booster club. • Please contact me if you are interested in helping in other ways.
