TNHS FIRST ANNUAL YOUTH CAMP

I am excited to announce our first annual youth camp. The youth camp will provide our student athletes the opportunity to connect with the community and to give back to the sport they love. Our goal for this camp is to spread the love of football throughout our community, to connect with the youth of our community, and to showcase the outstanding student athletes we have here at TNHS. Below you will find a link that will take you to a Google Doc. We ask that you print this document and mail it in with your payment to the address provided on the document. You may also pick one up from Thomas Nelson High School front office, from our coaching staff, or from one of our student athletes. For football to thrive again in our county we must continue to connect with our community's youth to show them all the gifts that football has to offer.

Thank you for your support!

Finishing Strong, Communication, Summer Workouts and Practices Times Results

The end of the school year is approaching quickly and that means end of the semester assignment due dates are coming up. Please make sure that your students are working diligently to finish the semester strong. If there is any way that I can assist with your student athletes school success, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am here to help in any way that I can. The LEADERS at TNHS want your student to be successful and will go above and beyond to make that happen. Please do not hesitate to ask for help.

One other thing I wanted to remind parents and students both of, is how critical communication is. Just to provide parents with transparency, I want to make sure to let you know that your student athlete is expected to communicate reasons for missing workouts or practices BEFORE the start of that workout or practice. I believe one of the biggest reasons for students getting into trouble or not succeeding in the classroom and on the field is lack of communication. Please help to push your student athlete to communicate not only with myself, but their teammates and their teachers. We are all here to help each other be successful!

In the spirit of communication and transparency, below is a chart that shows the results from our survey on summer practice. With a total of 31 responses, I feel this a good representation of what works best for most of our student athletes. There were a total of four families that said that the 8-9:30 am time frame does not work for them. We will provide an afternoon option for these students as well. This will allow us to meet the needs of all student athletes. Please be on the lookout for more information regarding the afternoon make up option. Please note that if you have not communicated why your family cannot make the 8:00 am - 9:30 am practice work, your student athlete will be expected to attend the 8:-9:30 am practice time. If rides are an issue please communicate that with me, or any other member of the coaching staff and we will do our best to help accommodate your student, if you agree with the arrangement we setup for their transportation.

I am looking forward to a great summer with the team and preparing our young athletes for the upcoming season.
