SPRING KICK-OFF MEETINGS SCHEDULED

It's that time of year again, and the 2010 Enumclaw Football season is fast approaching. As the players are continuing their work in the weight room, on the diamond, the track, and the mat, the EFF and Enumclaw Football have been planning to kick off the 2010 season this spring with an informational meeting regarding:

*Weight and Speed Training
*Spring Football Schedule
*Spring/Summer Competitions and Events
*Spirit Pack and Equipment
*Summer Football Camp
*Fundraisers
*Fall Practice
*2010 Schedule
*Booster Club (EFF) Opportunities
*Coaching Staff Introductions
*Program Policies and Expectations
*And much, much more!

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!

-Coach Bartel

PARENT/PLAYER MEETING FOLLOW-UP

I just wanted to make sure to thank all of you again for attending last night's meeting. I can speak for my staff when I say that the parent involvement we have is encouraging to us all. Thank you for your valuable time and attention.

On that same note, knowing how valuable a Saturday night is, and how much we stress punctuality in our program, you have my sincerest apologies that we did not start on time last night. As you know, there are a lot of moving parts to a presentation like that, and it is my fault that we were negligent in beginning the meeting 20-25 minutes late.

That being said, I appreciate you taking the time to listen to our coaches speak about what the program means to them, the players, and our families. I realize that sometimes the message can seem a bit intense, but I can promise you that is because doing this job well means so much to my staff and me (and because I made the mistake of having a meeting immediately after practice--which, apparently, is never a good idea!).

Again, thank you for all you do for our players, families, and Enumclaw Football. We are looking forward to working with you all for many years to come.

GO HORNETS!!!

Sincerely,

Coach Bartel and Staff

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!

A BIG "THANK YOU"

We want to extend our appreciation to all the parents who made it to the Enumclaw Football Foundation informational meeting last night. We appreciate your efforts, and there is now a genuine excitement in the air over the many opportunities for parents, coaches, and community members to work hand in hand ensuring a positive playing experience for our young men.

If you were unable to make it last night, keep checking back for more information regarding the next EFF meeting in June.

Edit: We want to make clear that you do NOT need to be a member of the EFF to participate, volunteer, or contribute to any of the committees or activities we have planned. Ultimately, we would like to have 100% membership, but--more importantly--we need parent volunteers to help us make this season a great one. Thank you, again, for your help.

REMINDER: ENUMCLAW FOOTBALL FOUNDATION

Please remember that we have a parent meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 20th in Coach Bartel's room #208 at 7:00 pm. (edit: there is a chance that with a large crowd that this meeting may be moved to the EHS library.)

Topics will include issues related to both the newly-formed Enumclaw Football Foundation and volunteer opportunities for all parents.

We look forward to seeing you there!

GO HORNETS!!
