ELCA CHARGER FOOTBALL

JANUARY 11th --- CHARGER FOOTBALL UPDATE

Time is flying! Our first 6 week lifting cycle since the end of football season is over and we have the grades above if you click on the charts. You can click on it and see where your son is and what he is doing. The grading is real simple. You get one point for coming to lift. You got .5 a point for being on vacation and communicating that to me. If they didn't show up and lift than they didn't get a point. There were 30 opportunities to lift. So it was minus 3 points out of 100 for each lift missed. If somone was on vacation, they actually received half credit for a lift. The grade of 90 is an A. Obviously getting an A for the entire year will mean something. However, I will not reveal what that is until August.

It was difficult for people to earn an A with the two week christmas break in between. However 24 athletes managed to do it. We had 11 8th and 9th graders make it which means parents have sacrificed in getting their kids up here. We have started the new 6 week cycle and I will take those grades and average them with the grades for the next 6 week cycle. Anyone scoring 100 this second week cycle will automatically get their final score bumped up 2 points. So if you made a 75 last 6 weeks and score 100 this 6 weeks you will have a 90 year average.

We will continue to push and demand excellence. I hope that you do the same at home. Our lift times are 6AM, 6:45 AM (for in season athletes), 1st period, 4th period, 7th period, and 3:20 after school. In season athletes must lift 3 times. Out of season must lift 5. All require is 45 minutes a sesson. We will provide your child with the opportunity to get better and become a better athlete. It is up to them to seize the opportunities.

THIS IS ELCA CHARGER FOOTBALL--we will be the hardest working and most diligent team in the country!
