Practice

Communications~~

Frequently check our website for program information: www.jrmustangsfootball.com for updates on information such as game schedules, practices (times and locations), etc. Occasionally, practice may be canceled due to a field usage conflict or dangerous weather conditions. Poor weather conditions do not necessarily mean practice is canceled but, please check the website, your e-mail or listen for an automated "One Call" to your cell phone or home phone numbers.

Practice~~

We practice at 3 different locations; CRESTVIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL’S STADIUM FIELD, SELVIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL’S FOOTBALL FIELD AND MHS’S PRACTICE FIELD.  Our grade-specific practice times and fields are still to be determined based on permit approvals. Practice start times will usually be 6:00 or 6:30PM on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays with some Saturday practices, until the game schedule begins. Practice is normally no more than 2 hours long.

The first two weeks of practice we will go 5 days a week.

Players should arrive approximately 15 minutes early to every practice and be ready to begin promptly on time. 

  • The first practice will just be in shorts, t-shirts, helmets and cleats. 
  • The second practice will be in shorts, t-shirts, helmets, shoulder pads and cleats.
  • The third practice will be in full gear.
  • The fourth practice will have full contact.

****Parents/carpools should arrive promptly for player pick-up at the end of practice. Please be considerate to our coaches' own time commitements. 

Equipment

Equipment will be handed out at A-Storage Inn, 16039 Ruck Rd., Ellisville, MO 63021 on Saturday, July 16th. Players must be present in order to be fitted properly. Please attend during the following times:

  • 8th grade: 8:30 a.m.- 9:30 a.m.
  • 7th grade: 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m.
  • 6th grade: 10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
  • 5th grade: 11:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m.

An undated equipment deposit check of $200.00 (payable to Marquette High School Football Boosters) is required and will be collected at the time of equipment handout.   YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR EQUIPMENT WITHOUT THIS CHECK. This check will be held until the end of the season and will be returned to you or destroyed when the equipment is returned. 

Note: Failure to return equipment in a timely fashion after the season is completed will result in your deposit check being cashed at the end of the football season.

The following equipment is provided TO EACH PLAYER FOR the 2011 Season:

Helmet with chin strap. *******Do not attempt to inflate the helmet air bladders, as the helmets require a special needle. A bicycle needle will DESTROY the air bladder and it will have to be replaced.  All helmet adjustments should/will be done at practice by the coaching staff. *****

  • Shoulder pads.
  • Practice pants.
  • Game jersey.
  • Game pants & belt.
  • One mouthpiece (additional mouthpieces may be purchased for $2.00 or player can provide his own). Check with your orthodontist if you wear braces.
  • Pants pads--knee, thigh, hip & tail pads.  

Players are responsible for providing the following equipment:

  • Practice jerseys
  • Athletic supporter with cup.
  • Football cleats and socks.
  • Water bottle.

It is the player’s responsibility to notify a coach of any missing or broken equipment immediately to his coach. 

Note: DO NOT wear game jersey or game pants to practice. We do encourage the boys to wear their game jerseys to school on the Fridays before a game to promote school spirit and to all the Varsity games on Friday night home games.

Games

Home games will be played at Crestview Middle School. Away games will be played throughout the West County area. Games are scheduled for Saturday mornings. The games will last approximately 2 hours. Players must arrive one hour prior to game time for team warm-up. See the website for game schedules and field locations.
Note: Although playing time is not guaranteed on the 6th, 7th and 8th grade teams, “B” games are also scheduled during the season to allow opportunities for those that do not normally start on Saturday morning games. These “B” games are an integral part of our program. These games allow the kids more on the field experience and involvement as an important part of entire game. We strive to improve all of our players and find this method to be more effective than merely getting in a few select plays a game. “B” games are usually played during the week nights under the lights at Crestview.

Parents

Remember that football is a sport where discipline, hard work, competition, and sportsmanship are encouraged and required.   Our focus is on building team and school pride. It is the coaches’ intent that each player will be given every opportunity to learn the fundamentals and improve himself as a player and a person. It is also understood that each player will treat his teammates and coaches with respect. Your cooperation and support to help us attain these goals is needed and greatly appreciated.
 
Team parents are responsible for providing their own end of season party, if desired. If you would like to volunteer to help out with the end of season party, contact your parent rep. 

Pictures/Apparel/Pre Season Scrimmage/BBQ

Football pictures will be taken early in the season and you will be given the opportunity to purchase individual and/or team photos.
 
Order forms will also be handed out early in the season for those that wish to order Jr. Mustang apparel.
We will also participate with the high school players in a pre-season scrimmage/BBQ held at MHS on a Saturday, August 11, 2012. More details will follow.
