JV Gold Parents Meeting on Tuesday

Hello everyone,

Just a quick reminder that before practice on Tuesday we have another have a parents meeting scheduled.  As I indicated two weeks ago I wanted to get back to the practice of meeting with you every two weeks to improve communication.  This is not a mandatory meeting but an opportunity to meet with me and get an understanding of what's the latest news, where the focus is for the upcoming weeks and a chance to ask any questions.  

 

Some of you have requested time privately and that has gone very well.  I appreciate the opportunity to make sure that any issue or concern or question you have is answered and will continue to do so.

 

This one will be slightly different in the case that it will be separate from the players.  I intend to have a meeting with them as well but it will be following our meeting and the warm-ups.  Thank you for your time and continued support.

 

Regards,

Coach Gardner

9-13 vs. Brighton Game Pictures

Here are the pictures from Saturday's game. The weather wasn't real conducive to getting great pictures, so I apologize in advance for the quality of some of these. A special thanks to the JV Gold Cheerleaders who braved the elements to cheer on their team!

In a given game I'll take upwards of a thousand pictures. I've tried to post pictures of all of the players but I'm sure I've missed some. Please e-mail me (Dave Kurt) and I'd be glad to post additional pictures of anyone that I've been missing.

JV Gold Update Meeting

Hello everyone. 

I wanted to send out a quick note to everyone with a request for all the parents to join us at the beginning of practice on Tuesday.  At the outset of the season I had intended to frequent "state-of-the-team" meetings to inform everyone of the team status and ensure that we had clear communication between everyone.  That has not been happening as I intended and must be corrected.

 

I'm requesting that all the parents stick around for the first 10 - 15 minutes of practice on Tuesday for a brief meeting.  The first part will include the players.  We'll review the game from Saturday, talk briefly about school and the upcoming game.  For the second part I will send the players and assistant coaches to warm-up and we'll continue with the Unit Directors, the parents and myself.  I would like the opportunity to share with you some of the changes that have happened of over the first few weeks of the season, how we manage the rotations, coaches responsibilities and volunteer responsibilities. 

 

I'm sure there will be more but this gives you a flavor of the agenda.  Please try and attend this meeting.  I will try and have these every two weeks for the remainder of the year.

 

Coach Gardner

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!

Hello JV Gold,

This week's game is our first home game of the season versus Brighton Orange.  We will be playing at South Lyon East High School which is the same place as the Panther Jamboree.  We've had another good week of practice and we go up against a strong team but we are more than up to the task.

 

The next few statements should sound very familiar: our game is scheduled to start at 11:00.  All players should be at the field, dressed and ready to play by 9:45.  We will start warming up at 10:00 at the North end of the field. 

 

Assuming we have our game jerseys returned tonight as planned, don't forget the players can wear them to school.  I look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

 

GO GOLD!!!

9/6 Game vs. Milford

Round 2 @ Milford South

Hello JV Gold,

This week's game has us traveling to Milford.  After yesterday's practice I'm very excited about this weekend.  The blocking and intensity was incredible.  I cannot wait to see what it translates into on the field. 

 

Here is the address if you are unaware:

Milford High School

2380 Milford rd

Highland,MI 48357

 

Like last week, our game is scheduled to start at 11:00.  All players should be at Milford, dressed and ready to play by 9:45.  We will start warming up at 10:00.

 

For the veterans this is not new but every Friday before a Saturday game day is wear your Panthers game jersey to school.  So be sure to wear you Gold jersey this Friday.  So don't forget to check your jersey to make sure the numbers are not coming off.  MBS will be at the practice field tonight collecting any that have issues.  They will return them tomorrow so everyone will have them available on Friday.

 

Remember to go to our website for pictures from games played as well as general information.

 

GO GOLD!!!
