Chelmsford Scrimmage

Please arrive before 5:30. Be in FULL uniform tonight. If you are purchasing a new Game Jersey, wear your old one. If you dont have one we will get you one.

**If any parent can video tthe scrimmage I would greatly appreciate it. Film is the best way to find areas of improvement for the kids. I would like to be able to watch the film with the kids for Thursdays practice. So if you have a video camera and can film the game it would be great.

See you tonight

Thursday Practice

Well, we have been working the boys hard physically over the first 2 weeks. On Thursday we are going to be working there minds. We will have a no equipment walkthrough practice.

We are going to review already learned roles and responsibilities. I will be asking a lot of questions and hope the boys ask a lot of questions. I keep reiterating, I would rather have them stop and ask what to do, then guess and do it wrong.

Everyone should now have a playbook. Please review and ask questions.

Finally, the Patriots 1st preseason game is on tonight at 7:30, channel 4. Practice will be finished by 7:30. Please have the boys watch at least the first half of the game. Talk with them about what they see.
