Football Equipment

Some of the players have come to me about issues they are having shoulder pads, helmets and other football gear issued on Tuesday.

For the next two weeks, I will be in the Team Room everyday but Wednesdays at 4:00 pm to help players make adjustments on their gear or to switch gear out. I will be closing the Team Room every day at 5:30 to head down to the field to start practice.

Last night, I went over the "extras" that some players like to have to play football. Stuff like visors, gloves, rib pads, tape, elbow protection and spaghetti pads for under the shoulder pads.

I had two sons play at Monte Vista HS and I know the costs of buying all the "extras" can add up. Other than the items I spoke about last night, I strongly suggest that if you are about to buy gear for your son, please feel free to call me and ask if what you are about to buy is needed. I want to help you save some $$$.

Also, Friday's practice will be in full pads. Players wanting to store their gear in their locker will have to buy a combination lock to secure their gear. The locker room will be open an hour before practice and for 15 minutes after practice.
