23-24 Football Tryout Information

Tryouts will be from Monday Aug 28th through Wednesday August 30th from 4pm-6:15pm. 

What to bring – a shirt that can be written on, athletic shorts, sneakers and cleats if you have them, and a water bottle. 

• • 40-yard sprint measuring speed
  • 10-yard shuttle run measuring quickness
  • Push-up test measuring upper body strength.
  • A 10 lbs. medicine ball throw measuring explosion
  • This will conclude with some very intense exercise fitness stations to measure endurance and toughness.

Tuesday August 29th

• We will start off Tuesday with our standard warm-up and then move into fundamental football bag drills. Here we will be looking for general athleticism.
• Next all athletes will have an opportunity to hit the dummy bag. (This is a very important drill because this is the only hitting that we are allowed to do during try-outs)
• Athletes will then have an opportunity to tryout for one of three basic offensive positions, QBs Running backs and Lineman.
• We will once again conclude with intense exercise fitness stations to measure endurance and toughness.

Wednesday August 30th

• We will start off with some basic defensive drills back pedaling, following the ball and going up after a ball.
• We will have one more opportunity to hit the bag
• We will once again conclude with intense exercise fitness stations to measure endurance and toughness.
• We will be off the field by 5:30 on this day for all coaches to collect their data and cuts will begin at 6:00 PM. Your athlete will be told directly on this night whether or not they made the team. If they do not make the team, I encourage them to come and see me in the morning if they want to discuss particulars to work on in order to improve for next year.

Over the next month, you can work on:

• Being active running short hard sprints
• Push-ups, Burpees, and Jump Squats
• Handling a football throwing and catching

Thank you so much!! Looking forward to seeing everyone and having a great Fall season!
