Football

Captains practice has started for football, but isn't quite what I thought it would be. It's great practicing and everything, its just our numbers are way smaller than hoped. I know that the kids are busy or vacationing and whatnot, but 1.5 hours a week shouldn't be that hard to obtain to get out to the field with everyone else. We have about 70 kids sign up for football, and you usually expect about 1/3 of them to show up each week for captains practice. I think that is a reasonable percentage. We have had 9 one week and 16 the next week. Hopefully next week we will get 25+.

Summertime...

Summer is now here, and I couldn't be happier. Three months of weightlifting and football stuff, but still having plenty of time for other things. This summer I will be doing volunteer work for a school project. Every Senior needs to record 48 hours of community service throughout their senior year. I am starting during the summer because that is when I will have the most time to give. I decided to help out at the football field. It usually isn't taken care of during the summer until last year when a parent volunteered her time to keep it clean. This year I will be helping her out with lawn care and whatever else needs to be done. This should be a fun experience and is another way to help out the football community as well as the Willow River community.
