It's that time of year again, and the 2010 Enumclaw Football season is fast approaching.

We are introducing a NEW FORMAT for getting the information to as many players and parents as possible. Therefore, the meeting will be divided into two different meetings.

They will be as follows:

2010 Freshman/Parent Kick-Off Meeting
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at EMS (directly following the TMMS/EMS game)
The EFF will be providing some food to facilitate the switch from game to meeting.
We are excited to provide this opportunity to all of our incoming players and parents!

2010 Varsity/Parent Kick-Off Meeting
Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at EHS Main Gym at 6:00 pm.

All prospective football players and at least one parent are required to attend the meeting that applies to them.

2010 is going to be an incredible season, and we would like to get it started the right way! Please send this posting to all those you know!

See you there!

CAMP LETTER

This letter is intended for those of you that will be attending football camp at the University of Puget Sound with us starting Sunday. In order to facilitate the enjoyment and productivity of this experience for players, coaches, and parents alike, it is important for us all to have a base understanding of this trip. Below, you will find the necessary information to ensure that football camp runs smoothly and benefits all who attend.

Purpose: We go to football camp for one main reason—to better ourselves as a team. We accomplish this through intense competition with other highly skilled and accomplished programs and our unique opportunity to get away from home in order to spend time developing skills, understanding responsibilities, building our 2009 football team. Because of this, we view it as a business trip.

General Information: The camp starts on Sunday afternoon. We will meet in the EHS parking lot at 10:30 a.m. with a departure time of no later than 11:00 a.m. Players/parents are responsible for making sure each individual has an appropriate ride to camp. We are set to check into the camp (players report to get room assignments and meal tickets) at 12:00 p.m. Athletes will need to bring a lunch as the first meal isn't until dinner time. The camp has a format that mirrors a regular practice only the “scout” team is actually a team from another school. This format will run from Sunday through Wednesday with Thursday morning reserved for shorter, full-contact scrimmages. We should be checked out by early afternoon on Thursday the 16th. As for payment, you should have already submitted your final payment on the balance of the camp fee to the EFF—if not, you must do so immediately. The EFF will write one single check for the total amount for the team.

For Parents: We encourage you to take the time to come watch the scrimmages on Thursday morning—it is a great opportunity for you to see what we have accomplished over the course of the week in regards to our purpose stated above. Aside from your attendance on Thursday, we would respectfully request that you not arrive on campus at any time other than dropping your player off on Sunday. We need this time away to learn some independence, discipline, and teamwork that can only come from being at camp with teammates.

For Players: Bring fans—rooms can get hot—snacks, extra water/Gatorade/etc, extra socks, NO icy hot, and pizza money. You will have some down time, and it will be important to have something to occupy your time, so bring something productive. We have seen players even bring in televisions in order to play video games while relaxing between practices and competitions. Also, if you have a tendency to “chafe” over periods of prolonged activity (this means you OL and DL guys) please remember to bring “Gold Bond” or some other deterrent.

Discipline: Unfortunately, it is important to include a word on this subject as this is a business trip, and every once in a while a player will forget that and make a mistake that will disrupt the focus of our trip. Therefore, if a player’s behavior jeopardizes our work; his parent/guardian will be called immediately and asked to come remove him from the situation. In short, this means that if a player is caught doing something illegal, immoral, inappropriate, or otherwise disruptive (as determined by the coaching staff of EHS and/or UPS) he will be asked to leave; and his parent/guardian will be expected to pick him up IMMEDIATELY with no refund of camp monies paid. Your acceptance of this letter will mean that you understand and agree to the policy above. If you have questions or concerns regarding this, you must contact Coach Bartel at coachbartel@gmail.com prior to camp.

As a staff, we would like to thank you for understanding the value of such an endeavor. Last year was the first year in many that Enumclaw Football attended a camp, and we believe it contributed immensely to the success we saw last season. Thank you for your continued and unconditional support of this program. We’ll see you on Sunday!

Go Hornets!

Enumclaw H.S. Football Staff and Enumclaw Football Foundation Board

EFF MEETING THURSDAY JUNE 11

The second Enumclaw Football Foundation (EFF) meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 11, at 7:00 in the EHS library.

The purpose of the meeting is to inform ALL parents of the opportunities to be involved in Enumclaw High School Football and organize committees to best serve the program. For example, we need help with the car wash on Saturday the 13th--and much, much more.

If you would like to contribute to the positive playing experience of all our young men, please come to the meeting, volunteer, and work with us!

We look forward to seeing you there!

FOOTBALL STARTS ON MONDAY, JUNE 1!!

Just a quick reminder that football starts on Monday at 3:15. The first few practices will be non-padded practices, so gear will be handed out next week.

If you have not already, be sure to stop by the athletics office at EHS or Coach Bartel's room to pick up your football information packet. Also, please fill out the personnel sheet and return to Coach Bartel so your name can be added to the spring roster.

See you Monday.

GO HORNETS!!

FOR PARENTS AND PLAYERS: 2nd ANNUAL SPRING KICK-OFF MEETING

Wednesday, May 13 at 7:00 pm in the EHS gym, we will have our annual Spring Kick-Off meeting.

All those interested in playing football this fall (from Frosh to Seniors) need to plan on attending with at least one parent/guardian.

We will be discussing Spring Football, Football Camp, Summer Calendar, Fall Calendar, and much more.

If you can not attend, be sure to notify Coach Bartel.

We look forward to seeing you there!

GO HORNETS!!

ATTENTION ALL FOOTBALL PLAYERS: THE WEIGHT ROOM IS OPEN!!

All prospective football players who are not participating in school sponsored sports this spring are expected to be in the weight room on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays starting at 2:45.

Coach Giampapa has taken the time to individualize each weight program to fit the individual player's needs, capabilities, and goals. We are seeing remarkable gains by those who have already participated.

All you have to do is pay $10 to the cashier, fill out the release form, and show up!

The weight room is where the foundation for a championship football program is built, and that is why state "powerhouse" programs continue to have 50-60 athletes lifting regularly in the off-season.

BRUCE BROWN IS COMING TO EHS

Coach Bruce Brown will be making a special trip to Enumclaw High School on Monday, March 2nd. The presentation will take place in the EHS auditorium, and ALL ENUMCLAW PARENTS, ATHLETES, AND COACHES ARE INVITED AND ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND. This night will prove to be a great advantage to us all as we continue to cultivate a positive, supportive, and competitive environment for all our athletic programs.

If you would like to know more about Coach Brown and his message, please click here.

We look forward to seeing you there!

EHS FOOTBALL CALENDAR

There have been quite a few dates that have been solidified on our summer calendar including 7 on 7, UPS Camp, and our Spring Football. Make sure you take a look and plan ahead.

FALL CAMP--WEEK TWO AND THREE PRACTICE TIMES

Practice times for the remainder of Fall Camp are now available on the calendar.

FALL CAMP--WEEK ONE PRACTICE TIMES

Practice times for week #1 are now available on the calendar.

We will have two practices on Wednesday and Friday with one practice on Thursday and Saturday.

We will practice in helmets only on the first three days (Wed, Thurs, Fri) with the first day of full pads on Saturday.

All players must spend three days practicing with no pads before suiting up for a full-padded practice.

FOOTBALL REGISTRATION

With the start of football fast approaching, it is important to remember that you must first register and be cleared by the EHS athletic office.

This year, football players will have the opportunity to complete normal "Hornet Days" tasks such as buying ASB cards, parking passes, yearbooks, etc.

The times are available on the calendar for the 18th and 19th of August.

YOU MUST BE CLEARED BEFORE THE 20TH IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE!!

THE SCHEDULE

The official schedule for the UPS Football Camp is now available on the football calendar. Although not all the days' events are listed, we have noted practice and passing league times.

Of special note is the Wednesday schedule as that is when all parents, friends, and other members of the Hornet Football Family are invited to visit us at camp in the afternoon for any or all of our three scrimmages. These will be 30-minute full-padded/full-contact scrimmages, and it is a great time to witness firsthand what the players have been working so diligently on since we started in the spring.

We are looking forward to seeing you all at the meeting on Wednesday @ 7:00 p.m. in the library.
