Speedball/Makeup Lifting Sessions

There will be Speedball this Tuesday starting at 7:00pm on the game field.  This has become a tradition at Hampton and the hope is that it provides our players a chance to condition, have some fun, and compete which are all things that we hope to improve upon as the season approaches.  This is by no means, a mandatory event, but it would be nice to have a good showing of players there to better the competition.  Following Speedball (approximately 8:00 pm), the weight room will be open for people to make up a weight lifting session that they may have missed, hopefully, quite a few players will take advantage of this opportunity. 

Don't forget, our own Football Camp/Clinic week starts on Monday, July 16th and will run all week from 7:30pm-9:00pm.  Hopefully the heat will not be too bad by that time of night. 

Bearcat Camp is Complete!

The Hampton Hawks had a very successful football team camp down in Maryville, Missouri. Our youth and inexperience showed throughout many of our scrimmages but we seemed to get better as we got through camp.  There were some very impressive bright spots that we as coaches were able to see.  There is a lot of potential for this group to succeed.  The only thing missing at this point is game experience and that will have to wait till August. 

Camp did come with a few injuries but none were too major.  It is important that we continue our strong work ethic in the weight room to help eliminate any long-lasting or season-ending injuries.  The more that we are able to train our bodies and our muscles to deal with contact, the better they will recover after practices and games. 

Once again, I was very pleased with the effort and attitude of every player that attended football camp in Missouri.  Just like last, I'm very confident that this was not only a camp to become better individual players, but allowed our team to begin to mesh and bond together to form an actual TEAM!
