Coaches' Corner


PLEASE, please, please, when on the Mountain Fields (smaller goals) conduct your practice from sideline to sideline. Only use the goal areas when scrimmaging at the end of training. We need to preserve the goal mouths. At the end of practice on the Mountain fields, move ALL equipment off the fields to the track side, even if someone else left them there the day before. Mowing is going to begin soon and we need the goals, tires, and flags off the field.
