There will be individual and squad incentives for selling cards. Individual sales can be done anytime between August 12 and August 22(blitz night). On blitz night, players will be divvied up into "squads" to go out and sell as a group. (All players 9-12 will participate in blitz night)

Schoology and Hudl Schoology and Hudl

Schoology will be the primary form of communication with our players during the season. Players and coaches will use schoology for playbooks, assignments, plus various other resources. We would like for the player to learn how to communicate with their coaches using that platform. There will be a 9th grade schoology page and a 10-12 schoology page. These pages are set up already, and I've largely placed all participants in the right spot.


Hudl is the way in which we review practice and game film. It is an integral part of the learning process. Much like schoology, there is a 9th grade hudl group, and a 10-12 hudl group. Your son will get into hudl the first days of practice, if they have not already.
