Football Team Messaging System for PLAYERS

To upgrade to an even more advanced method of communicating changes, schedules, etc.  PLAYERS please follow the simple instructions below so that you will receive all important notifications.  If you are a parent, I plan on setting up a separate account for communication with parents.


 You can sign up with your phone number or via an e-mail address.  If you are a parent, stay tuned as I will be setting up a similar message system for parents.

Pre-season Conditioning Starts Tonight

As with every season, there is a lot of excitement in the air.  As we get ready to start our journey through the 2013 Hampton Football season, I am very excited!

For parents that visit this site, here are a few of the upcoming events to be aware of for your benefit.  The dates/times of most of these activities can be found in the calendar on the right-hand side of the blog.

Conditioning Week:  Starts tonight (8/5) and runs the entire week.  Monday-Thursday will be from 6-7pm and Friday morning we will conclude our week at the pool in Aurora with a workout in the water.
IMPACT Testing:  Due to NE State Laws, coaches and athletes must be educated yearly on concussion awareness.  Also baseline tests need to be conducted on all incoming freshmen, as well as Freshmen.  The test is supposed to be good for two years.  Any new players that did not test last year, would need to test this year as well.  We are able to administer the test at school and plan to do so on Thursday (5/8) starting at 5:00pm prior to conditioning on that day.  If you have further questions concerning IMPACT testing, contact AD Kyle Gunderson as he has gone through the training to administer the test.

First Day of Practice:  As you will see on calendar, the first official day of practice is Monday the 12th and we will have two practices the first 2 days for sure.  Depending on the progress of the first two days will determine how many more 2-a-days we will have after the start of school.  Stayed tuned to the calendar and inform your son to listen during practice for updated times and schedule information.

Northwest Missouri 8-Man Team Camp         June 14-16, 2013 in Maryville, Missouri
This will be the 3rd year we have attended this camp and every player that went out last fall attended this camp.  We will be installing offensive and defensive schemes at this camp as well as coming together as a team.  This camp has proven very beneficial to us the past two years to help us improve.  If there was one football camp you attend this summer, make it this one.
