There will be lifting Friday 6-5 from 3-5. Coach Hough and I will be here for In-service till 3:00

Be aware that testing starts on Wednesday. We will be testing each athlete on the following:
Bench Press
Squat
Power Cleans
Bench Hops
Shuttle Run
40 Yard Dash

Each mark achieved will equal a certain score and those scores will be added together to determine each athlete's overall condition.
We will be retested the last week before Camp begins.

The importance of summer workouts

When a team places a goal to strive toward they need to progress toward the goal or face the failure of not striving for the goal. We have a dream that has become a goal. The goal will mean reach a pinnacle never before reached by a Northwestern Football team. The Goal of a State Title can be reached and it continues with hard work over the summer. Ww will be working offense and defense all summer to be better prepared to achieve our goals. SUmmer workouts start 6/10, that is next Wednesday!

Summer schedule and letter available

I have updated my wikispaces with the summer schedule. I have posted the schedule through the first game of the season. Please note that there is a change to the game schedule. We start a week later than last year. This means that the State Championship will be December 18th this year.

Fall football schedule

I have updated coachshaw.wikispaces.com with the schedules of the Varsity and the JV teams. I am not sure at this point if Reynolds will offer to play a JV game or not. We are working to have a game that week though.
I am also not sure if NE will be played on thursday instead of Friday. Potentially, we will play the Girard game on Saturday as well.
Homecoming is the Maplewood game and General McLane will be Senior night.

Lifting schedule

To update the lifting schedule for the team through the end of the school year, we will be lifting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 Am for athletes who work or play other sports (it really is not bad after a week of so you are used to it), and 2:45 in the afternoon. This is for the Varsity players. The Middle school athletes lift on Tuesday and Thursday at 2:45.
These times will be consistent till the end school. If there is a change then an announcement will be made through the school.
We will have an organizational meeting during school in May to establish summer schedule. At that time I will send home a summer commitment letter.

Thanks Coach!

What a great "Mom's Day" meeting. I think that I can speak for all of us when I say it was enjoyable and educational!

Mothers Day

We have set a firm date for the Mothers day event. We will meet at 9:00 AM on March 7th. It will last till 12:00, or whenever the questions come to an end. There will be an invitation sent out to all mothers. We are hoping to have an RSVP so that we can plan the food for the event. We are going to have Bagels, coffee, fruit, juice etc. I hope to see you there.
