See you then!
Football Parents and Players,
The time has finally arrived! We are starting practice TUESDAY, AUGUST 13th at 4:00 P.M. This is MANDATORY! The season is starting and you need to be there; dressed in shorts, t-shirts, cleats, and helmets. There will be a MANDATORY parent/guardian and players meeting following practice at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday night, August 13th, in the band room to discuss football rules, guidelines, and expectations. You will all receive a rules booklet and parents/guardians will need to sign these after we go through them.
Also, PHYSICALS NEED TO BE COMPLETED BY TUESDAY! You need these done before you are allowed to practice. That gives you an entire day Monday to get them done, so get them done. Each day a physical or rule booklet is not turned in - signed by parents/guardians - equals extra conditioning for that player starting August 14th. Support them and be at the meeting!
Football season is here, LET'S GO!!!!
Coach Hudnall
Volleyball practice will be starting August 14th at 4:00. There will be a parent meeting following practice at 6:00. Please make sure you have your physicals done. You may not practice without it. See you on the 14th!

Attendance Matters.
Does your child get enough sleep? The attached image is a great reminder of how much sleep our students should have each night. Now is a great time to start preparing for the first day of school on August 20th.
Message from Coach Hudnall:
We have our first night of team conditioning, starting tonight, on the field at 7 p.m. ending between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. This will continue Wednesday and Friday night this week, and Monday-Wednesday-Friday next week.
Also, remember to get physicals completed! These need done BEFORE you can start practicing. If you don't have them done, you won't be able to practice when we start on August 13th.
ATTENTION FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND PARENTS
Camp went very well and the coaches are excited to get the season started. Practice can officially start August 12th, and we will either start the 12th or the 13th (stay tuned on that, it will be announced). Before we start, ALL players need to get a physical, and they need a parent/guardian present for it! Do this NOW, so it is taken care of before the day we start practice. Please, please, PLEASE - GET YOUR PHYSICALS!!!!!
Secondly - Starting next Monday, July 29th, we will be having Team Conditioning Monday-Wednesday-Friday until August 9th. Conditioning will start at 7 p.m. in the evening and last between a half hour to an hour. We need everyone there in order to be prepared for preseason practice. SHOW UP!
Finally, parents and community members - push these boys. Encourage them to get to conditioning and to go out for football. We were missing about 12-15 boys at camp still. They are needed and a valuable part of the team, program, our plans as coaches, and could ALL be great players.

Congratulations to our elementary student Alexis Bertucci and her billboard located by the library in Norfolk. Alexis was the Call 811 contest winner last year.
That's a wrap! Chiefs Football Camp finished up Friday night. It ended just as hot as it started! But, that is July in Nebraska and that is football. These young men got a taste of what the football teams across the state fight through to compete at a championship level. The coaches are extremely proud of those who showed up, put in the work, fought the heat and outside distractions, and got better for their school and community. We may have found a captain or two.
Times are changing. The program is changing. These gentlemen were pushed and they didn't quit. They earned those shirts and, hopefully, your respect and support for the upcoming season. Next up, conditioning, and practice starts the second week of August. Stay tuned.
Rep the Tribe! Go Chiefs!

Little Chiefs Camp wrapped up yesterday with a thrilling sudden death, overtime win by the red squad! The boys and coaches had a great week of camp and they all EARNED those camp t-shirts! A big thank you to assistant coaches, Jermaine Guinyard, Mike Sjuts, Delshay Webster, and volunteer coach, and current Peru State starting offensive lineman, Mark Zepeda. With their help, the boys not only learned valuable offensive and defensive skills, but also had a lot of fun.
Thank you to the campers and their parents/guardians, it was a great week! Hope to see you all supporting your Chiefs this coming football season!
