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.

Thanks,
Coach Peeler


 

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.

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!

Fall Practice – Season 1 Participation Form
