Wren Football Update

HELLO HURRICANES!

IT WAS A GREAT WEEK IN PIEDMONT!! We had a fantastic week of workouts and leadership in our athletic department this week. Our football team had a player led team meeting and began their player led football skill workouts on their own time. We are extremely proud of their dedication to each other. In the weight room we began our MARCH MADNESS COMPETITION SERIES. Our athletes voted on team captains and will be participating in daily competitions that will not only challenge their physical abilities but also their mental aptitude. IT'S NEVER BEEN BETTER TO BE A CANE!!!

We realize this time of the year is extremely busy for everyone. We wanted to take some time to put together a COLLEGE FOOTBALL CAMP CALENDAR for everyone in our program. While every college is not represented, we certainly worked hard to find as many regional college as we could - along with hyper linking them for you to help direct you to the sign websites. The color codes that are listed at the top shows you what level the program competes at. This calendar will be changing with more information throughout the spring so CHECK BACK OFTEN!!!

GO CANES!🏈🌴🌀

- Coach Frate

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TL HANNA GAME HAS BEEN UPDATED TO AN AWAY GAME

Below you'll see a calendar for the remainder of the month to help everyone stay on track. If there happens to be any changes then we'll send something out on SportsYou. If you click on the calendar below it will send you to the full calendar (that is still a work in progress) You can also see the entire 2026 CALENDAR HERE

Its about MORE than just strength and speed! In all of our classes we are doing a book study to unlock and unleash all of our kids potential. Using the book "7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENS" as our guide, we are using one theme per week as an "Anchor" and four other words that compliment it as we take our journey through the book. We take time to have our students respond to prompts, allowing them to reflect, refocus, and attack their goals.

STRONG MIND🧠 = STRONG BODY🏋🏻‍♂️

Last weeks theme was "INFLUENCE"

- ENERGY - CREDIBILITY - EXAMPLE - RESPECT-

We are kicking off our WINTER FUNDRAISER this week. Our players can earn a GENEROUS amount of gear if they complete the fundraiser. Fundraiser will be due by March 20th so we can get things here for the summer. Please note that we only order for the players that complete this & it is almost impossible to get gear during the summer months. That is why it is IMPERATIVE that we get this completed early. We want everyone to earn this. Our coaches are here to help.

***Calendar total = $496***
