COACH MOORE:� Coach Moore spoke about what the Parent�s Club is all about.��� Meetings should be a place of enjoyment and an opportunity to be with friends.� He also discussed the formation of a Player�s Council which will consist of 2-3 players, per grade, who will meet with the coaches and keep them informed of the �pulse� of the players.� Other programs coach discussed:
��������� Character Program:� Each coach will be assigned a different grade level of players to meet with (ie:� Coach Moore met with seniors this Wednesday before school).� This is not a mandatory program, but it will be offered to all players.� Sessions usually last for 30 minutes.
��������� Player Profile Group:� The coaching staff is assigned to specific players.� Coaches gather information which is put into a computer database for the coaches to have access to.� This, Coach Moore feels, will be a good way for the coaching staff to better communicate with the boys and get to know them better.
Work Out Times:� Coach Moore discussed the after-school workout sessions currently in place.� They are currently not doing morning workouts.� Coach feels like the afternoons are working much better as the boys seem to be accomplishing twice as much.� The after school workouts will continue and the incoming freshman students are free to come over after school and work out with the upper classmen.� Workout days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday, and end around 5pm each day.
Summer Schedule:��� Please note on the calendar the summer schedule begins at 8am this season.� 8am will be for weights and 9:30am� running/speed improvement.� A summer calendar was provided at the meeting, and will be put on the website.
Camps:� Coaches have decided not to go to any college camps this summer.� Players are welcome to go to camps on their own, but Coach Moore will not request players attend camps as a group like they have in the past.� There will be an opportunity for players to participate in the SOS Football Skills Camp, primarily for QBs/Receivers, but expanding to include linemen.� Center Grove High School will host 4 Monday night sessions:� April 16, April 23, April 30 & May 7 from 7:30 � 9:00 pm.� Please refer to the website for specific information:� www.sosfootballcamp.com
