Saturday Morning Get-Together

Colts, I've been thinking about our first day in pads from Thursday. After thinking about it, there were a lot of positives to go along with the negatives. Just a few:

On the good side, it was our first day. But, there were a number of you who did get fired up and hit hard! The tomahawks were generally good, the break-down drills were generally good and the power-push drills were done OK. You guys also had fewer mistakes during the post-practice running (watching the ball).

The rest will take care of itself. I'm just wanting it to get there faster than I should, so bear with me, OK?

Whoever can show up at the field at 9am tomorrow in shorts, cleats and t-shirts can go over the offense again. Linemen and linebackers: you can come to support your brothers or miss this one. The more you see, though, the more you'll be ready! It should last only one hour and (I promise) NO RUNNING afterwards!

Watch the site for the time of our first practice of next week!

Colt Schedule & Players

First handout for parents. We will have a "program" to print for you prior to each game that you can use to follow the players, their records, and more!

Clinton Colt Merchandise

Parents: These are the items that are available (right now) for our team. The helmet decals are $10 for both sides. The window sticker is $10. Jerry Brooks will have DVDs for sale but the price will be determined a little later. My advice is to buy the DVDs because you will cherish them for a lifetime!

We may or may not buy screenprints for the jerseys. We are waiting to see what the jerseys look like beforehand. In the past, we've had our names on the back, but we may put a Colts logo on them if the parents want.

Clinton Printwear and T's will do T-shirts for us if you like, but we have to order 24 in order for them to cost just $10 each. That can be something the parents decide together. They may be neat for wearing under our pads, for the coaches to wear on the sidelines and for the parents in the crowd. We can do whatever the group wants!

MONDAY: 1st Practice Recap

Colts, you guys had a very nice first day of walk-through practice. All of this stuff was probably new to most of you. And, since we don't know where each player will be playing right now, it seems like a lot to learn.

But, you've already shown that you have the athletic ability and the smarts to run our offense and defense. Believe me: it will get BETTER and FASTER as you do it over and over.

Our only problem is that we have too many good football players. That means that good football players will be on the sidelines some. But everybody will play at least half of the game. And, you will be switching in and out. So, be sure you understand exactly what your jobs are, OK?

Be in pads on Thursday at 6pm. Same location. This is where we take what we learned and build on it to make us champions. And brothers. See you there!

Monday Practice

COLTS: Come to Monday's practice (6pm at Traceway Field 6) in your cleats, shorts, t-shirts and helmets. We will go over the basics of our offense and defensive schemes this year. We will show you what we do and how we do it. Expect to be there about and hour and a half. Oh, and bring water and get ready to learn!

See you all then!!!

Draft 2010 Results

Congrats to the returning Colt football players:

Barrett Barham, Ty Irwin, Ryan Goff, Chris Brooks, Dylan Moudy, Malik Richardson, and Kyle Singleton!

In addition, we have seven new (first-time) Colt players:

Jordyn Leonard, Joshua Johnson, Alex Shay, Jeffery Hammond, Josh Sampson, Tony Robbins, Alan Graves and Jordan Newell!

This draft gives us a four solid linemen, two solid tight-ends, two experienced defensive ends, more cornerback and safety hopefuls than we've ever had, and speed to burn. In essence, we have all of the tools necessary to easily repeat the successes of 2007 and 2008.

Look for more info as soon as we are cleared to contact everyone and get together. Your offense is designed, your defense is designed, and all we need now is YOU!
