Onalaska Middle School Football 2009
Pre Season Information

Paperwork needed for participation

All football players will need to turn in the cards listed below to their coaches or the office by August 24. These cards are available in the main office during regular summer hours (7:30 to noon and 12:30 to 3:30).  These cards are your tickets to practicing and getting your football equipment.

Seventh Grade Athletes will need to pick up the green colored card. There are three sections to this card. One section requires a doctor's signature. The doctor will sign this card after the student has completed a physical examination. Make an appointment as soon as possible. The other two sections ask that you provide proof of insurance and that the student acknowledges that he/she is familiar with the guidelines found in the athletic handbook. The athletic handbook will not be available until after school starts, so if you wish, you may wait and sign this section after school starts. However, all the other parts of this card must be completed before you receive your equipment.

Eighth Grade Athletes will need to pick up the brown colored card. There are three sections to this card. One section requires your parents' permission. The other two sections ask that you provide proof of insurance and that the student acknowledges the guidelines put forth in the athletic handbook. The athletic handbook will not be available until school starts, so if you wish you may wait and sign this section after school starts. However, all the other parts of this card must be completed before the student athlete receives his equipment.

 
Note: Eighth grade students who did not participate in athletics last year at OMS will need to follow the seventh grade procedure (see information about the green sheet above) in order to participate. New students to OMS who had physicals last year at their old schools will need to provide evidence of that physical or schedule a new appointment for a physical before they can receive their equipment or practice.

 

Cleats & equipment you need to provide for yourself

Players should consider purchasing cleats early enough so they can break them in before practice begins; this will help prevent blisters during the first weeks of practice. Steel cleats are prohibited as are plastic cleats that have twelve or less cleats (baseball shoes will not be allowed by the referees). Also, when out purchasing those new cleats, purchase an athletic supporter or two.

Mouthpiece

Mouthpieces are required equipment.  You will not be allowed to participate without a mouthpiece. If you lose your mouthpiece, you are responsible to replace it at your own cost.

Chain Gangs

At all home games we need three adults to volunteer their time to do the chains. No experience necessary. Please let the coaches know if you would like to volunteer.  You get the best seat in the house if you do!

 

Important Dates

Monday, Aug. 24 - Equipment Issued & first practice

8th grade players line up outside the multipurpose room at 8:00 AM. A coach will take your cards at the door, check you in, and send you in to check out your equipment as time permits. The first practice will follow equipment handout. We'll establish our stretching and conditioning routines as well as begin learning offensive and defensive formations. Bring your cleats, shorts, T-shirt, molded mouthpiece and a bag to take your equipment home.

7th grade players line up outside the multipurpose room at 9:00. A coach or a manager will take your cards at the door, check you in, and send you in to check out your equipment as time permits. The first practice will follow equipment handout. We'll establish our stretching and conditioning routines as well as begin learning offensive and defensive formations. Bring your cleats, shorts, T-shirt, molded mouthpiece and a bag to take your equipment home.

**No exceptions for your scheduled times. Come when you are supposed to arrive and wait in line by the doors that go into the multipurpose room. Bring a bag to carry your equipment home after practice. The middle school does not have lockers large enough to hold your helmet and shoulder pads, and equipment will have to be transported back and forth from school to home. If you cannot make it on the 24th, equipment will be handed out after practice at a later time.

Tuesday Aug. 25- Practice begins today at 3:00. Practice will be daily @ 3:00 PM for the rest of the season.

Reminder: Lock up valuables in PE Locker or bring them out to practice. Leaving your valuables unattended on the floor in the locker room is risking they will be stolen while you are practicing.
