letter to 7th grade football parents

Dear parents,

 This letter is to inform you that our 7th grade football athletes will begin practicing after school at Yerger starting this Monday August 28th at 6pm.  Due to the lack of time that we have with our 7th graders in their 1st period class, we decided to bring them back two days a week until the season begins and then once a week for the improvement of our student athletes.  7th grade skill development is vital to building a great football program. Thank you for supporting your student and the program. Practice will last for 1 hour and 15 minutes. We are trying to get all our 7th grade athletes current athletic physical so we can have everyone at practice on Monday.  A practice schedule, football schedule, will be provided.

 You can contact me, Phillip Turner, at Phillip.turner@hpsdistrict.org or Head Coach Eric Collins at 870-230-9872 or richard.collins@hpsdistrict.org if you have any questions.
