Hello Everyone,
I hope you are enjoying your spring time. Football is just around the corner. We need to get our Helmet Fitting done.

PLEASE try to be there. If for some reason you can’t, please make arrangements with me. This is for incoming freshmen too!!!

HELMET FITTING FLYER – March 23, 2023
I have added a tab above called Parent/Volunteer. This covers what is needed to be able to help with our football program during games, etc. Please visit this site if you are interested in helping out. We need help with Chain Crew for JV and Varsity games, Concession Help for JV and Varsity Games, and JV Filmer. Might also need help at times with announcing and scoreboard operator. These all must follow the volunteer guidelines the district has set-up. Again, if you are interested, please feel free to complete the requirements. Also, email Justin Peeler (jpeeler@cal.k12.or.us) if you are wanting to help with Varsity jobs and email Patrick Wondra (pwondra@fernridge.k12.or.us) if you are wanting to help with JV jobs.

Hello,
I want to thank all the players, parents, and siblings that helped out this year at the Tree Farm Fundraiser. This year, the fundraiser has been a big success. Unfortunately, the company has sold out of trees and is done for the year. If you were scheduled to work this coming weekend, you are not needed. Again, thank you for all the help this year. This has been a BIG success. I am hoping to know the total amount raised either today or tomorrow. Thanks again for all the help.

Message from the Athletic Director,
In order to participate in ANY sort of competition, during season 1 and the season of their sport, it is an OSAA requirement that they need to be academically eligible. This means that since we are offering 4 classes, they have to be passing at least 3 of the 4 and on track to graduate. The next grade check we pushed to this coming Monday. The end of the semester is February 5th.
I. Some information pertaining to seniors:
Q. If a senior completes their courses and graduates in January, can they participate after that point?
A. No, a student must be enrolled full time to be able to compete in school sports and activities.
Q. Do seniors need to be enrolled full time to participate?
A. Yes, all students must be fully enrolled in and passing the appropriate number of classes in order to be eligible. Note: If graduation is June 11th, and Season 4 goes until the end of June, the senior can continue to participate even after the graduation ceremony for the 2020-21 school year.
II. Practice Requirements prior to in season competition: (these are new as of the week of Dec. 7)
Football – 9 practices
- Week of Feb. 8: no protective gear or full contact
- Week of Feb. 15: protective gear with progression
- Week of Feb. 26: Jamboree @ JC
All other sports – 5 days
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
From Admin,
Due to the district decision to move the CDL for the next three weeks, we will be unable to offer athletic workouts during that time as well. We believe that we will receive guidance from the OSAA on December 7th about the prospects of season 2 (winter sports) beginning on December 28th as scheduled. If that is allowed we will begin practices again at that time. If it is postponed we will be communicating with athletes and coaches about possible workouts that may begin in the new year. We appreciate your patience throughout this challenging fall and look forward to better days in the future.
#wewillplayagain!
This weeks practice schedule because of daylight issues. Remember check-in is 10 minutes before. Please spread the word.
Monday – 3:30-5:30
Wednesday – 3:30-5:30
Friday – 6:00-8:00
Helmet Fittings – Wednesday Oct. 28 during practice. We will do them from 4:00pm – 5:15pm. This will be done during the chalk-talk time. PLEASE make sure you are there for this practice. We need ALL players there for this. Even if you normally are not coming, we need you there to get fitted for your helmet for the season. Also, the Riddell Rep will be doing the fittings. If you are wanting to buy or rent our own helmet, he will have information there for another interested.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler

Last year, the teams that worked, made between $2,000 and $4,000 for this fundraiser. We are going to be the main team and possibly the only team. This means, we have the chance to raise $4000 plus. We really need a lot of help to make this fundraiser successful. Again, team members, parents, coaches, and supporters are all welcome. You don’t have to be a football player to help us out. Siblings are welcome too as long as they attend the mandatory training. PLEASE help Elmira Football make this successful for our program. I would like to buy some gear for players like tops, team socks, etc. If you are willing to help, please email me at elmira.falcons@gmail.com or message me on Remind.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
Parents and Players,
Elmira Falcon Football will be hosting practices during Season 1 starting on Monday Oct. 12, 2020. These practices are not mandatory. Keep in mind that we are installing a new offense and need to get our bodies more prepared for the season coming in February. We will only have three weeks of practice in February before our first game. That is not a lot of time, especially if you have not been showing up. Keep an eye out on how we will be grouping our players and where they need to report for practice to be screen checked. Every player will be temperature checked and contact tracing completed before practice. If any student has symptoms, PLEASE keep them home. We will be sending them home if they show up.
I need every player to complete the following form letting me know if they are planning on participating in these practices. Click on the link to fill out. I need every player to complete this form ASAP!

People engaged in physical activity may not wear plastic shield coverings. Coaches will continue to wear masks at all times; indoors and outdoors. PLEASE WEAR YOUR MASKS. If you don’t wear a mask or are having problems following rules, we will send you home immediately. We want to practice.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
Hello,
OSAA has created a Season 1 period of time for practices/conditioning workouts. Football (Fall) has been given the time period from October 12 – November 6. During this time, we will have the opportunity to practice, strength train, and condition. We get 6 hours for practices and 1 hour for virtual meetings per week. We will have more info on times and days as we get closer to this time. No competitions allowed during Season 1.
Season 1 starts on August 31. This means this will be our last week of workouts/practices until October 12. Things that need to be done ASAP.
- Fill out the FamilyID (www.familyid.com) for each sport your son will be participating in. No payments at this time. Please wait for payment until before actual season. FamilyID opened today. Please, please, please get this done. You can not participate in Season 1 at all until this is done. This also needs to be done before any weight training sessions during Season 1.
- Current physicals. Make sure you have a current physical on file. If yours is out of date, you need to get one ASAP. Physicals are good for two years. If you are not sure about your physical, please call the High School and ask for Julie Bothel. She can tell you when yours is up.
During Season 1, any athlete that wants to do Agility/Weights/Conditioning when we are not in session (Session 1 and Session 3) can do so with Britnie (Athletic Trainer). She will be providing time for weight room activities. I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE any athlete not in session to join Britnie during this time. The more we can get done in the weight room, will help us be successful on the field. Also will help with injury prevention. Please use this time. We need all the work we can get. If you are interested in weight training during those times, I will be creating a google form to fill out. I will get that done this week. I need to give her numbers and names to start setting up PODS. I have attached the schedule below for the school year. This provides you with dates and activities going on.

Hello,
We are going to continue with practices this week. We will go Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday like before. The only change is, we are going to go down to three groups instead of four. Lineman will all be one group now. Times below:
Lineman (Gold POD) – 3:45 Health Screening, 3:55 Warm-ups, 4:05 Agilities, 4:15 – 4:45 Weight Room, 4:55 – 5:15 Football Skills.
JV Skill (Purple POD 2) – 4:00 Health Screening, 4:10 Warm-ups, 4:20 Agilities, 4:30 – 5:00 Weight Room, 5:10 – 5:30 Football Skills (Might start focusing on 5-on-5 games if we get enough players).
Varsity Skill (Purple POD 1) – 4:15 Health Screening, 4:25 Warm-ups, 4:35 Agilities, 4:45 – 5:15 Weight Room, 5:25 – 5:45 Football Skills (Might start focusing on 5-on-5 games if we get enough players).
***This is an important time for players to come. I know the season will be later, but we can not just show up in February and play. We will have way too many injuries. The weight room should be your new best friend right now. I want players to be ready physically to play. We won’t have as much time in February to get ready now. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE start showing up and getting bigger, faster, and stronger. This will help all sports, not just football***
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
We have been given the OK to restart practicing again. I am meeting with my coaches tonight to discuss if we want to continue with what we have been doing or making any changes. Once I know the plan, I will send an update. I will try to send the update either tonight or tomorrow. I hope everyone is excited to get back to the weight room and fields. I hope to see all of you soon!
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
Football is being shut down indefinitely until we hear the update from the OSAA. We should hear an update by Wednesday of this week. This means no practices until we get the update. Hopefully after that, we can make decisions on when we can start back up.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
With our season getting delayed until late August, we are going to take this week off. This week was going to be the scheduled Moratorium Week. A lot of families plan trips during this week as it is usually the only week off during the summer. Also, I have ordered face shields to be used in the weight room for players who don’t feel comfortable wearing a mask.
Again, this is just a pause week. We will continue again on Monday August 3rd. Our hope is we will get to start doing some sort of football type practice by the end of August with games starting in September. That is the hope. We need to continue to practice and lift weights. Learning a new offense is not an easy thing to do if you show up for the first time in late August. Also, weight room helps prevent injuries.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
As many of you have already heard, OSAA came out with an update yesterday for Fall Sports. I will attach the memo for you to read if you are interested. Basically, we are on hold for football and might still get the opportunity to play. We will want to continue to practice with the hope things do get to happen. I don’t want to stop and then they change things.
Fall Sports First Contest Date
With the uncertainty of school reopening plans in many parts of the state and the time frame related to those decisions,the OSAA Executive Board has decided to delay the first contest date for Cross Country, Volleyball and Soccer until Wednesday, September 23 (previously August 27). The original first Fall practice date of August 17 remains in place at this time. New guidance from the state requiring face coverings even when exercising indoors will require further consideration regarding guidance for indoor activities.
These dates allow for local school control regarding Fall practice schedules while enabling them to focus on their primary objective of reopening to students. Decisions schools are making regarding their instructional models – on-site, hybrid or distance learning – are still being discussed locally. The dates referenced above, and an individual school’s ability to participate, may be impacted by their instructional model, along with any new health metrics set forth by the Governor’s Office and OHA. Additional guidance for Fall contest protocols, including multi-team events, spectator policies, and regional scheduling considerations, will be forthcoming. The OSAA Executive Board understands that if Fall end dates are not extended then contest limitations, playoff structures, and championship events will need to be altered.
Football is considered a full contact activity per the Governor’s and OHA guidelines and is currently prohibited. No definitive date has been established by the state for a review of this prohibition. Based on strategies provided by the OSAA Football Contingency Group it is necessary that any Football restrictions be lifted by September 28 in order to have a modified regular season this Fall that would include some type of restructured postseason.
If Fall activities aren’t able to be held in the Fall, the OSAA Executive Board is committed to working with its contingency groups to exhaust all options for these activities including shifting, condensing, or stacking seasons, like our neighbors in Washington and California, with the fundamental objective of providing participation opportunities for students. These changes may ultimately force schools into choosing which programs they will offer and students into choosing between activities, but the Board believes that a potentially difficult choice is better than no choice.
The OSAA Executive Board will meet again the week of August 3 as they and the staff anticipate additional information regarding reopening plans by schools and further school sports and activity guidance from the state.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
This week we are only going Monday and Tuesday. We have a lot of coaches not available this Thursday. Enjoy the week and the weather.
TODAY: Players will need to enter through the Ticket Booth entrance of the game field. Again, players needs to wear masks. Players will complete their warm-ups, agility, and weight room. After the weight room, players will transition to the practice field for some football type drills. Players then will exit from the practice field. If you are getting picked up, have parents pick you up at the practice field.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
REMINDER: Players need to bring masks for practice. They need to be worn during Health Screening portion. Once they leave that area, they can take them off. When entering the weight room, players must wear masks. Once the lifting starts, then players can take masks off. The masks can stay off as long as they are exercising. If you get done early and are standing around, masks must be on. Once you leave the weight room, masks are not required. This is based off the new mask policy set by the governor.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler

Here is an update from the District on Summer Workouts!
Athletes and Parents:
Hello Everyone! Athletes and parents are required to print out and sign the Summer Athletic Waiver form (see link below), and turn in to the coach prior to participating. Locker rooms will be used as restrooms only, so you will need to dress in the clothes that you plan to participate in. Please know that per OSAA/OHA/CDC guidelines, athletes will have their temperatures checked and a small screening process will take place prior to participation. It is encouraged that athletes bring their own water and hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer and other methods of disinfecting equipment will be available, but coaches will not be providing water and drinking fountains are closed. Along with hand sanitizer, coaches will have cleaner to wipe off equipment and will make sure athletes maintain appropriate social distancing at all times.
Athlete Waiver FRSD – COVID-19
Assuming Fall Sports will be allowed to take place due to the continuing COVID -19 pandemic, Family ID will open for Fall Sports registration August 6th and from 5:30-7:00 pm the school will be open for parents/athletes to pay fees and turn in supplemental paperwork that day. Please note, with registration, you will be asked to complete the Athletic Waiver form a second time even if you completed it for participation in summer activities. As of right now, Fall Athletics are still scheduled to begin practice August 17th. If something changes information will be posted.
Please get the Athletic Waiver signed and returned to me prior to attending your first summer workout practice. Summer Workouts will start either Monday June 29th or Tuesday June 30th. Times and locations will come soon. You can send forms to jpeeler@fernridge.k12.or.us several ways:
- Print the form, sign, scan, send it via email
- Print the form, sign, take a picture on your smartphone, send it via email.
- Iphone users can use the pen in the upper corner on a document. You can add text boxes and sign directly. Then just email it to me.
- Download the PDF to your computer, add a text box with athlete and parent/guardian name and date, send it via email.
Remember that summer workouts are not mandatory. If you don’t feel safe coming, please stay home. We will be following the OSAA/OHA/District guidelines for the workouts. We will be focusing on weight room, speed/agility, and football skill development. I do recommend checking the district, high school, and football website frequently for updated information. Also, feel free to email me with any questions.
District Website – https://www.fernridge.k12.or.us/
High School Website – https://www.fernridge.k12.or.us/elmirahs/

Hello,
I wanted to let everyone know what is going on for Summer Falcon Football. Due to the Governor Executive Order 20-20 that schools must remain closed until June 30 AND recent notification from school insurance agencies, all schools in the Sky-Em league have agreed to follow the directions and remain closed, this includes athletics and district facilities, until at least June 30th. This means that the earliest we can start activities would be July 1st unless something changes. We don’t know when we will get information about Fall Sports. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me (jpeeler@fernridge.k12.or.us).
Coach Peeler

Below is a message from the Helmet DELEAR. School provides a Ridell Speed helmet. If you are interested in a leasing or buying a Ridell Speed Flex, you must visit the website below.
FROM HELMET DELEAR!
Coach,
Riddell, Schutt, & Xenith have all been forced to shut down production during this Coronavirus situation.
We just received word from Riddell, that this backlog will delay delivery until at least Aug. 15th, for orders not in the system.
What does this mean?
If you have parents that want to lease helmets, they need to order NOW! We have anticipated some helmets (Flex), and colors for parent leases, but once we run out, there probably won’t be an opportunity for the parents/players to lease helmets after July 1st. – We will be out, and the manufacturers will not be able to deliver. Send your parents to www.armorzone.com to order.
For new helmet orders…..delivery time will be 4+ weeks, especially for painted helmets. So anticipate your needs as well.
This will be a very challenging & wacky year. Work with us, so we can make it as smooth as possible.
Thanks & BE SAFE!!
Mark

West Lane Fitness wants to offer a 4 week plyometric/strength and conditioning program to our high school football players. This would be led by an ex-navy seal trainer. The class would be every Tuesday and Thursday for the 4 weeks at West Lane Fitness in Veneta, OR. This program will be affiliated with the fitness center, not football, but provide pre-season training to get players more ready for the up coming season. The cost would be $69. Checks would be made to West Lane Fitness. Time will be around 12:00pm or 1:00pm. Again, this is a great opportunity for players to be pushed a little more and to help them prepare for the season. We need to have at least 5 players, but I am hoping we will have more players interested. If interested, please let me know ASAP through Remind or email me at jpeeler@fernridge.k12.or.us. This would start next Tuesday and last for 4 weeks. I hope to see a lot of players interested and there.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
The football staff has thought long and hard about our Team Camp to George Fox. At this time, we have decided to cancel going to that team camp.
We will be doing one of two things:
- Do our own team camp the same Friday night and All day Saturday. The cost of this would be around $50 per player to help offset the cost of food and other items.
- Do our own team camp on Friday night and then go to Western Oregon for a one day camp. This would cost $70 per player. I have a call in to Western to see if this still open and to get more info. Players may need to bring some money for lunch and dinner, but not sure yet. This camp had renegade (players not with a team) that we may be able to pick up as lineman.
Either way, this would save parents a lot of money. I want to keep the schedule and calendar the same for now. I know parents plan around the calendar.
if you have not paid for camp yet, please hold off until I finalize what we are doing. If you have paid already, I will be in contact with you sometime early in the week.
Thanks for the understanding,
Coach Peeler
First practice is Tuesday from 3:40 – 5:30. Players will only need cleats for practice. 8th graders will need bus notes to ride the bus to high school or walk. Lets make this season great!

I am in need of protein bars and granola bars. We have enough fruit snacks and trail mix for right now. I would prefer either the Costco protein bars or the Pure Protein bars. The nature valley granola bars as well. Any help is needed. Also, anyone wanted to donate a few dollars would be appreciated too. These snacks are used for pre-game for all the teams. I have been buying the crustables and bananas for halftime. So, money would help with that. Fruit can be donated too. The players really appreciate the snacks and I feel they are really helping both teams.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
The football team needs to put together a basket for the EHS booster club fundraiser. It will be used as a silent auction item to help raise money. Our theme will be Tailgate.

Let me know by email if you are interested in donating items. Players can bring cash to me anytime. Any help would be very appreciated.

Tomorrow we have practice from 4pm to 6:30pm. Then we have our blitz card sale event from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Any parents who could help drive players around the community to sell, would be helpful. Remind players to bring both tennis shoes as well as cleats. We are hoping to be on the field, but things could change.
Also, the JV game vs Siuslaw was cancelled, but we found a replacement with Dallas. The game will still be at home at 5:30pm on Thursday August 30. We will need concession help for that game.

We will do a double header in North Valley on Friday Sept. 7. JV at 4pm and Varsity at 7pm. They may change to home if the smoke is still really bad down there and good here. I will let people know if that changes.

We will be having our annual team camping trip from Friday August 10th to Sunday August 12th at Sutton Lake Campground (Florence, OR). Our team has reserved all of loop D. Our mission is to get as many players going to this camping trip to work on connecting as a team. We are asking for $10 per player attending to help offset the cost for the camping site and food. Each player would be provided with meals (Friday Dinner, Saturday Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner, Sunday Breakfast). $10 is a great deal for all those meals. We would love to also except any food donations (bags of chips, fruits, tortillas, bottled water, peanut butter, jelly, etc.) If you are interested in donating food, please talk with either Danyel Parker or Cortnie Peeler. We will also except cash donations to help with purchasing of food. If parents/families would like to join us camping, their cost would be $40 (these would be non-hookups). This pays for their camping spot for the weekend. We could use help with preparing meals and chaperones.

I am cancelling the Central Linn 7-on-7 this weekend. With camp just getting over and basketball camp this weekend, we feel the players need the break. See everyone on Monday. Reminder it is from 6:00 to 7:30.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
Camp is this Friday through Monday. I have reserved a school bus to take players there and bring them home on Monday. Players are not required to ride the bus. If they do ride the bus, it will be $10. Players will need to load the bus at 8:15am and leave by 8:30am on Friday. We will load in the front of the school. Then on Monday, we will leave around 11:30am to come home.
Things players will need to bring for camp:
All bedding (only mattress provided)
Extra clothing to wear when not playing
Stuff for showering and hygiene (i.e., tooth brush, shampoo, etc.)
Swimsuit and towels
Spending money
All football equipment gear and cleats
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
We will be handing out gear this Thursday during and after practice for camp. All players can get gear now. We will continue on Monday for those who do not make it.
Also, reminder that money and waivers are due this Friday for Team Camp.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
I need all Team Camp Money and Waiver turned in by Friday June 15th. Please turn it in to Mrs. Boytz the bookkeeper at EHS. Checks need to be written to EHS Football. 8th graders can turn them in to me. I need to have the payment ready for camp the next week. I sent home with each player their amount they owe. If you did not get anything and need to know, email me at jpeeler@fernridge.k12.or.us.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
With some players at the fundraiser and some not able to make it, we are extending the fundraiser until Monday night. We will close it on Tuesday. That means, you can continue to get donations throughout the long weekend. I was talking to the fundraising company last night. Since they set this all up and help run it, they get a cut of the money. That means, I would highly encourage players trying to get as much as they can to cover camp. Any extra goes back to the team. Next week, I will have a spreadsheet of how much each player raised. If you were not at the fundraiser, you need to see Mr. Guldager (Mr. Peeler at the Middle School) tomorrow to get the paper with directions. You can still get as much funding as possible. If you are not going to camp, all that you raise goes to the team to help with equipment and gear cost. This fundraiser is one of the easiest we have done. Some players raised over $200 in just 45 minutes yesterday. Send the texts to as many people you know. It really adds up fast.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
Reminder we have our team fundraiser tomorrow from 3:45 to 4:45. We need all players there. This will help with team camp cost as well as help with equipment needs during the season. If you did not turn in your paperwork, you must bring it tomorrow to the fundraiser.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
Just a reminder about the paperwork being due tomorrow. High School give it to either Guldager or Monegan. Middle School give it to me. Also, the fundraiser will take place from 3:45 to 4:45 on Monday May 21. It is really important that all players be there to participate.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
There is a team fundraiser meeting tomorrow at 3:45pm in Mr. Shannon’s room (rm 30). This is for players only. All players need to be there!

We need to finalize our fundraiser. Any player that still has cards and/or money out needs to turn it in tonight at practice. I need to meet with the fundraising company tomorrow to finalize the money. We did an OK job on selling the cards especially with the limited amount of time we had.

We should arrive between 7pm and 7:30pm on Saturday night. This is a full contact camp, so all players need to bring all their football gear. We will be staying at SWOCC for the camp. We sleep in the dorms and will eat in the cafeteria. They will provide us with three meals a day.
Things to bring to camp:
Sleeping bag, pillow, toiletries, towel and some clothes for after practice. I would also bring some extra money for snacks. Again, all football gear too.

There are still around 20 players saying they are going to Camp Rilea who have not paid for Camp. Please get that done ASAP. I need to have the check ready this next week. I am planning a meeting for parents of players going to camp. The meeting will be Wednesday at 7pm in the cafeteria. This will be to discuss the bus and make sure everyone has rides. Also, Danyel Parker is going to be contacting parents for donations for two different meals at Camp.
Thanks,

Coach Brands will be available to work with all Quarterbacks and Receivers tomorrow from 3:45 to 5:00 on the practice field. This will be a time start working on our throwing and catching mechanics.

Camp Rilea is right around the corner. There are a lot of items that need to be done to be ready.
- I have 37 out of 60 players paid for camp that are saying they are going.
- I have 34 out of 60 players who have filled out the Camp Rilea Transportation Form under Player Info telling me how they are getting to camp.
- I must order T-Shirts for the Camp by June 15th. I know some players are changing whether to go or not. I need to know as soon as possible. If you are changing what you were doing, please e-mail me at jpeeler@fernridge.k12.or.us to let me know.
- I also need to give them as close as possible the number of beds needed for camp.
I really would appreciate if we can start to finalize these items as quickly as possible as some are close to the deadlines.
Thanks,

Reminder that we have our first Spring Practice tomorrow from 3:40 to 5:00 at the high school practice field. There are no locker rooms for football, so I am asking all players to bring their stuff to the practice field. After practice, you will have to shower at home. This is due to the bond construction currently going on at the high school. We will be doing both weight room and field work, so bring tennis shoes and cleats for practice. We will meet first on the practice field.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
This is a reminder that I need all players going to Camp Rilea to fill out the Camp Rilea Transportation Form under Player Info tab. I have 17 out of 60 players who have completed it.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
Coach Brands would like to invite all Quarterbacks and Receivers to an open field type event on Monday May 23, 2016 from 6:30 – 7:30 on the practice field. Those players can stay after from 7:30 – 8:15 for weights. This will be a time start working on our throwing and catching mechanics.

I would like to have the $150 turn in by Friday June 3rd if at all possible. Also, have the waiver turned in as well. The money and form needs to be turned into the bookkeeper. I still have around 10 kids who have not filled out the player information form. Please remind players to do so. I also need parents to fill out the Camp Rilea Transportation form under player info if they are going to camp. I am trying to decide whether to get a bus for the trip to and from camp. The bus is expensive, but would really help out parents trying to get their child to camp. I would need to charge $15 to ride the bus. I encourage all players and parents to fill out the forms. I need to make some decisions soon.
Thanks

I would like to have all players who plan on going to Camp Rilea this year fill out my Camp Rilea Transportation Form (Under Player Info Tab). I would like all players planning on going to Camp Rilea to turn in their waiver and money by Friday June 3rd. I need to make arrangements. Also, I have been considering a school bus for camp to transport players to and from camp. I know camp this year is a Monday through Friday. It is asking a lot of parents to take two days off of work and pay for gas to and from twice. The bus is a little expensive, but I think it is a better way for parents to get their players to camp this year.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
Reminder!!! Weight Training starts tomorrow (Monday May 2) from 6:30pm – 7:30pm in the weight room at the high school. I hope to see a big turnout.

Coach Peeler
I apologize. The meeting is tomorrow Wednesday April 27 from 6:30pm to 7:00pm in PE Locker Room.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
Any player who missed the first helmet fitting needs to attend this fitting. We will meet in the EHS PE Locker Room from 6:30pm to 7:00pm. I need to finalize the numbers to order helmets by next week. Please attend if you have not been fitted for a helmet.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
When you click on the new Player Info tab there is a link to a google form that I need all players to fill out ASAP! This will help me know my numbers for Camp Rilea and how many helmets to lease. I want to take all grades to camp.
Also, I now have the google calendar uploaded in the Calendar tab with a menu to a PDF printable calendar link.
Thanks,
Coach Peeler
I am going to postpone the football weight training until Monday May 2. We will do Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday that week from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. I apologize, but I need to get Camp Rilea and Helmet situations done before getting the weight training started.
Thanks for you flexibility,
Coach Peeler
