This is for those of you that were unable to join us this evening. 

1- Update on Summer Workouts. Policy and Procedures.
-Maybe the best attendance of any week Metro has ever had!
-Week went well
-Please remind boys to stay at cars and not congregate until they are called. 
-They are doing all they can to keep the congregating levels low. 

2- OSSAA waived dead period however dead period will remain in effect for Metro June 27-July 5. No Camps/practice will be going on at this time. 

3- Summer Attendance Policy
- Your player has 6 Days that they can miss. 
-Stressed that workout training helps prepare players bodies and injury prevention. 
-If you need beyond this amount.....Tell Coaches. For every additional day Coaches will add additional conditioning at the end of practice for your son. 
-If things change and Covid concerns are the reason you are not able to attend please talk with Coaches. 

4- Super Important to plan on Metro Football Camp. July 7-10th. 

5- In the works....possible Team Camp. A couple of schools are interested in coming together for a glorified practice. Possibly practicing half of the field per team. Will update as becomes available. 

6- Welcome Coach Tyler Bacon! Coaching staff is so excited about this addition!

7- Optional Purchase through Midwest- Face Shields for player helmets
Players can choose to order if they would like to. Cost will be $20. More information coming.

8- Team order has been extended to June 23. Please see separate email for ordering information.

9- Senior Retreat. We are wanting this to happen. May look a little different. This will start to come together and more information will be available in the weeks to come.

10- Theme- Every year the football team usually has a theme. Sometimes this is determined by Seniors. Sometimes the team uses Coach Blankenship's theme from the spiritual conditioning for the year. Please pray with us as we ask the boys and see where the Lord is leading as a focus for this coming year. Last year it was "Raise the Bar"

11- Helmets- Coach McCoy says that we currently have a good supply. Usually in the spring we are able to order special discounted ones but that didn't happen this year. It is always welcomed and appreciated for parents to donate to this fund if someone feels led to. You can contact Coach McCoy or Tanda Francis. Our players currently have 2 Helmets: White & Navy.

12- PLEASE COMMUNICATE TO YOUR SONS-- Coaches would like to see PLAYER LED throwing and catching after morning workouts. Coaches would like to see kids step up and stay to work on those skills when we cannot currently do that as a team. 

13- The Fall Schedule is available and will be posted shortly. I will be posting it to our website as well. 

14- Adidas- The school does have a contract with Adidas. Our preference is that you wear this brand if possible. One of the things this brings to the team is unity which is valued. If you currently have gear or cannot do this please make sure they are as close to the team color chosen as possible. (Ex: Cleats. White or White w/Navy)

15- Physicals. Players will need a team physical on file with Kimberly Taylor (formerly Claybaugh- she got married!!) You can email her the forms to ktaylor@metroca.com (the old address will work as well that was already sent out)

16- Booster Club Fees will be due in August. We will plan to have a fall meeting at that time. Last year the fee per player was $255. We have not finalized our budget yet but are close. We are working to get this fee available to be paid via cashapp. 
Parents Serving this year:
Quinn Bierman- Booster Club President
Tanda Francis- Treasurer
Amanda Cupp- Head Team Mom 

17- Football Sport Fee will be due in August $100 that goes to Metro.

Online Order Link


Use this link to order online.
Order Deadline: Sunday, June 23rd

CLICK TO ORDER HERE

Required Equipment:
1- White Cleats
--If you are needing to order/purchase new ones because you are  replacing old ones from last year our preference is that you order from the Midwest order form. Adidas brand.

2-Girdle- White or Grey or any color 

3- There may be a team t-shirt that the Seniors decide on. This would be an additional cost and TBD. 


Optional: Everything else is optional. 
Things to keep in mind:
1- Workout gear. The boys coordinate colors with red/navy metro t-shirts and navy/grey shorts. If your son needs more gear you can order this online. 

2- Some players like the Alphaskin short sleeved shirts. They come in white or navy. They will come with your son's number on them. These are sometimes worn to practice and then under pads and the uniform for game days. You cannot see it under the uniform but some boys like the way they feel and keep them cooler. 

3- Last year it was cold in the fall. We played 15 games. The boys started to wear the thermo tights. Boys that did not order in the spring with the Metro logo were allowed to wear just plain white tights if the team was wearing white tights. The seniors choose the uniforms for the games. Many of those games the theme was chosen was "blue out". We could not find the navy tights in stores if we missed the Spring order. The boys that did not have the navy tights used white tights under but covered them with navy tall socks. This is up to you what you would like to order. Both the white and navy long tights are available.    

3- Boys are gonna need socks anyways. It is not required but a great idea to order those. They come in white and navy. 

4- You can order team gear for your family, grandparents, ect. The team gets an incentive for each order.
