It is hard to believe how fast this year is going. it seems like yesterday we were starting football, cross country, & volleyball at 6:45 and now turn around and basketball try outs are winding down. Teams of 32 will be made at days end. Some will be excited to begin their next adventure and to conquer what adversity may occur in their basketball season; while others will have an opportunity to sharpen their skills for next year's try outs outside of the school realm at PSA, club or even HS basketball. Either way I know our athletes will work hard to get Bigger Stronger, and Faster to become that better overall athlete.
Off season program will be in full swing after the break as well. We will be getting the young ladies and young men into shape with different running distances, agility drills, movement, jump ropes, and weight lifting. We ask the athletes remember the proper dress code is BLUE SHORTS & GRAY SHIRT!! We will be going outside so it is very important that each athlete have sweat in their lockers (colors do not matter for these) as long as there is a gray shirt and blue shorts underneath when we go to the weight-room. we will also be offering a LONG SLEEVE workout shirt as well. It is the Dri-Fit material just as the others but in a long sleeve version. The long sleeve shirt with be offered to the boys for $12. Oder forms are on the athletic table by coaches office.
I wanted to take this time before break to say a huge THANK YOU to our outstanding ATHLETIC BOOSTER CLUB for doing so much for us already this year. Ya'll are amazing!! You have set the bar high for the next year's group of members to come in and follow your lead. (which we need volunteers for some positions in the ABC - - - - so think about helping out in some type of leadership capacity). All of the celebrations have been amazing. Good food, good eats and good friendship made or made stronger. It takes a village to run an athletic program and to keep up with al the demands of it. Y'all do that each and everytime we come to you with either a purchase or to cover the concessions.
Parents, Coaches, Administration, & Staff - THANK YOU for making my transition into being the new coordinator at Dowell Middle School so easy. It hasn't all been easy BUT we kept plugging at it and found out solutions. It makes my job easy when i have colleagues and people to work along side who are willing to work together as a team and not individuals. It will not always be easy but I, we, as a TEAM will work hard to keep Dowell where it is today. that being the BEST middle school in the area!!l
Sincerely,
Coach Edwards
