This calendar shows our football schedule and important dates for the 2020 football season. Workouts inJune were cancelled but players were sent workouts through their Middle School Football Google Classroom to do on their own. Dirty Dozen, Skill Specific Camp and Skill Day workouts in July are strongly encouraged but not required. Strength, speed, agility, and quickness training will be developed during these workout sessions. Players who make 9 out of 13 workouts will be given a helmet sticker and T-Shirt signifying membership in the prestigious Dirty Dozen Club. 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 2020!
The goal of the M.S. program is to successfully prepare ALL of our players to join the High School program. The 2020 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 Ryan (ryanm@avoneagles.org)
Yours in football,
Coach Elder
