Summer Calendar 2018 (click on link to download calendar)
(Grade 7-8)

This calendar shows our football schedule and important dates for the 2018 football season. Dirty Dozen workouts are strongly encouraged but not required. Strength, speed, agility, and quickness training will be developed during these workout sessions. Players who make 12 out of 18 workouts will be given a helmet sticker and T-Shirt signifying membership in the prestigious Dirty Dozen Club. Players participating in the skill specific football camp will be given dirty dozen credit for each day of camp they attend. The Skills Camp is a great opportunity to be coached at your positions by the Varsity Football Coaches.

Four days of TEAM CAMP have been scheduled and players need to realize that this is football practice. We will begin to install our offense and defense for the upcoming season during these camp days. The middle school will be running the same offensive and defensive schemes as the freshman, junior varsity and varsity program. Absences by any team member will adversely affect our team’s success in 2018!

The goal of the M.S. program is to successfully prepare ALL of our players to join the High School program. The 2018 season will bring a challenging schedule. If we are to be successful we must put the TEAM before individual accomplishment. You are part of a ELITE program that is well respected throughout the state. It is your job to appreciate Avon’s past football tradition and build on it. If you can follow the simple formula: Hit, Hustle, Know your Assignment, and Care about your teammates, I have no doubt that “Those Who Stay Will Be Champions” If you have any questions 8th graders contact Coach Matuszak (matuszakk@avoneagles.org) , and 7th graders contact Coach Fishleigh (fishleighb@avoneagles.org)

Yours in football,

Coach Elder
