Tuesday Practice

Best practice so far. Hands down. And I think you guys can tell the difference, right?

Defense getting faster and smarter. New positions for some; still more responsibilities to learn. But I think you guys ran it great today.

Offense getting quicker and more precise. Need to run at full speed a bit more, but that will come.

Linemen have the toughest job for learning, but they are getting there, too.

Be proud of yourselves. We still get two weeks to get even better. Just bring that same intensity to the Thursday practice and then we can do shorts and t-shirts for Saturday morning. Great job, gang!!!

TUESDAY PRACTICE

PARENTS: We will have a new practice location for Tuesday! Instead of our usual Field 6, we will practice elsewhere within Traceway Park. Enter the main entrance (the one that you use to go to the Traceway office). At the stop sign, there will be a field on your left. That is where we will tentatively practice.

We have to do this because our competition will be on Field 6 and I really don't want others seeing what we're doing. Can't wait to see you there!

Practice Cancelled For Monday

Guys, we are cancelling practice for tomorrow (Monday) because some of you are out of town. We will practice Tuesday instead and MAY have to move to another field because other teams will be practicing on ours and we don't want to have any of our techniques watched.

So, please ensure that you check this website before our Tuesday (6pm - 7:30pm) full-pads practice, OK? More then!

Saturday Morning Recap

We had 9 Colts there to go thru the offense this morning. Good job running thru the plays. We're getting faster at it and the new Colts are learning what we're doing. Still a lot of things we (as coaches) have to "fine tune", but hey...... you guys will make it happen no matter what!

I know that you don't believe us, but you really are a darn good group of football players. Part of us believe that we could have NO plan in place and you guys would score. But, we are here to learn and move up. So, keep working hard and you will be surprised at how much better you can get as football players.

PS: The t-shirt order is up to 14. Only 6 more if you're interested? Need to know soon. Also, only a few Colts left with no helmet logos. Don't forget, OK?

T-Shirts

FYI: We have requests for 10 t-shirts. Need 20 to get them (not 24) so let me know if you're interested. Helmet logos ordered for those that paid on Thursday. Window stickers for those who ordered will be put in on Monday. Thanks, parents!

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!
