FROM THE COACH...

As the 2008 season begins to inch near, I want to encourage all parents to get your 7 & 8 year olds signed up early. Football is a metaphor for life and builds strong character in its participants. We will strive to teach your children that:

1) Practice makes perfect

2) Hard work will be rewarded

3) Actions have consequences

4) You always achieve the most as a TEAM

5) Teams need unselfish leaders

I am asked all the time if football is safe for children as young as 7 & 8? The answer is yes! In two full seasons as a Vikings rookie coach, we have had no serious injuries on our team. Our players have had a lot of fun, learned a tremendous amount about football and racked up an amazing 20 wins vs. only 2 loses. We have a terrific coaching staff that really teaches the game and builds the foundation for Vikings football for years to come.

Vikings have a tradition of hard work and pride that we invite your family to participate in! Let’s have a great 2008 season.

Note: Viking Veteran Parents. I will be contacting you by phone to confirm that your 8 year old will be returning this season. If you do not hear from me by May then
I might not have your current phone number and I encourage you to contact me at 652-9671.
