Wow...summer vacation is almost upon us. But before we all get into the going away, do nothing mindset let's get the boys together for some summer football conditioning. We will be having a conditioning camp again this year. It will be for all players entering 5th thru 8th grades (no younger siblings or players please). The dates are 6/22, 6/23, 6/26, 6/27, 6/28, 6/29, and 6/30. The times will be 5:30-7:30 on each day. The location is still being worked out, but we will let you know once that is confirmed. This camp is NO gear and no contact...shorts, cleats (sneakers if you don't have cleats yet), and water is all that's needed. Being registered is preferred, but not required to attend. If not registered you will be required to fill out an acknowledgement form before your player can participate (no exceptions). Commissioners and/or team moms will be at the field with the form needed so please do not just drop your player off until that is taken care of. I think that's all I have for now folks...keep an eye out for the field info, and please SPREAD THE WORD!! Jodi

For all basketball people...

Don't forget that tonight is our last equipment return. It's at Nasson at 6pm...please arrive on time as we don't plan on being there long. Also, anyone who owes money can pay tonight. You will receive a bill for any unreturned gear and your child can not play a sport for us until all balances are paid in full.

For anyone who did not make tonight's gear return there is one other night you can go. Next Thursday, Nov. 10th at 6pm. Please be there right at 6 so that those who are there can get out quickly. Nickie Buswell will be there to do the paperwork for 7/8 that night...thanks Nickie!! If you can not make it, please have someone return your gear for you. This is the last equipment return date, you will get a bill for any unreturned gear.

Today is our equipment return day, please be at Nasson at 6pm. If you have pants that the pads come out (non-integrated), please take pads out prior to coming as it will make the process faster. When you get to Nasson we are asking that one person brings the gear downstair...it's going to get crowded if too many people are trying to come down.

**REMINDER** Equipment turn in is this Wednesday, November 2nd at 6pm at Nasson. Please bring any gear that was issued to you from the SSYAA. If you can not attend, please have someone return your gear for you. You will receive a bill for any unreturned gear, and your child will not be allowed to play another SSYAA sport until gear is returned or paid for. Also, anyone who has an outstanding balance can pay off their balance on Wednesday as well (please bring exact cash amount, no checks please)...any outstanding balances for football will carry over to your next SSYAA sport and your child will not be able to play until paid in full. Now that all the "paper work" is taken care of...hope everyone had a very Happy Halloween!!

7/8 Spartans Banquet Click on the link above to view the sign up sheet for the 7/8 Spartans Banquet group meal on PerfectPotluck.com.

Equipment return will be held on Wednesday, November 2nd at 6pm @ Nasson Community Center. Please bring any and all gear issued at this time. For those wondering, we are not having an end of the year banquet.

Can everyone please check their vehicles for 2 dicks sporting goods green water racks? The 5/6 team is missing them. Their players bring them to the parking lot to put in the coaches vehicles, and since Thursday's practice they've been missing. They are assuming someone put them in a SUV or minivan as those are the vehicles they usually go in. Can you all please check and let me know if found. Thank you!

Is anyone available to drive Korbin to the game tomorrow?

Playoff game: We just found out that our first playoff game will be at Thornton Academy this Sunday (10/16) at 1pm Coach would like the players there by noon.

There will be no practice tomorrow (Monday 10/10)...see you all on Tuesday.

Sorry for the late post about tomorrow's game, but here's the details. Players need to be to the field by noon. The address for the field is: Scarborough Middle School
(High School game field)
44 Gorham Road
Scarborough, ME 04070

I am not sure what their seating is like, so I would bring chairs/and your bleacher seats if you have them.

Reminder that the parade is tomorrow...Players are to meet at the climbing wall behind the high school at 4pm. Their attire must be: game jersey, sneakers (bring cleats for practice after parade), and black shorts/black jeans/black sweatpants (if you have black, do not buy anything special). If you don't have black pants please wear dark jeans. Game pants are NOT a choice...there was some confusion about that at practice tonight.

This week's plan (10/3-10/7)...We will have practice everyday this week from 5-6:30pm. On Friday we were invited to walk in the homecoming parade being held in town. We are asking for all players to meet over by the climbing wall behind the high school at 4pm to prepare to walk. They are to wear their game jerseys, sneakers, and black shorts or pants (if possible, if not as close to black as you can get, they do NOT need to wear game pants). They either need to bring their cleats and leave them in Coach Mackie's vehicle, or have someone bring their cleats to practice. Parents can drop their players there (once there is a coach with the players) and go find a spot to watch the parade (I usually go up in front of the junior high parking lot). As soon as the parade is over all players should report to Blouin for practice. Our game this week in on Sunday 1pm @ Scarborough. The address for the game is:
Scarborough Middle School
(High School game field)
44 Gorham Road
Scarborough, ME 04070

Address is 438 Main St for those lost. I apologize, but I copied and pasted what SMYFL had on their site.
