Similar to @nirad3 in that it depends and can fluctuate from week to week and day to day. First week of the month tends ot be busier as we do some month end reporting with tight deadlines. First two weeks of the year are very busy for year end. Then it depends on the timelines and deliverables...

@Fantasy_Freak How didn’t game go? Our last freshman game went as expected, 42-0 victory and a good chance to get every player reps. For my son, several good tackles, and he had 3 catches for I’d guess about 40 yards with 2 going for first downs. He just missed a TD getting tackled by 3 guys at...

Our last freshman game is this afternoon. On paper, it should be a win for us, which would mean we go undefeated in league and 9-1 overall - let's hope the boys show up ready to play and not thinking ahead to trick or treating. As mentioned previously, my kid was one of two freshman (the other...

Good luck tonight in playoffs @Fantasy_Freak (well, Fantasy Freak Jr. ) Keep us updated on how they do

This - we are taught this in our CPR/First aid training, otherwise no one would ever perform CPR for fear of being sued for trying to save a life. When done properly, CPR will break ribs, etc.

@Fantasy_Freak - Good luck to your son and his team in the playoffs. Do they start tonight, or is there a bye week before playoffs start? For my son, they won easily yesterday, 39-0. Other team didn't even get a first down. League game that just wasn't a good matchup, though the other team had...

@Fantasy_Freak How did you guys do last week? Did you get that win and hopefully a home playoff game? For my son, we won big, 45-14. He got cleared to play on Wednesday afternoon after being held out then limited in practice by the trainers because of the helmet to the ankle in the previous...

Get him going for those pancake blocks. My son's team is heavy run (many freshman teams are) and when we do pass it is mostly short yardage/screens, so lots of opportunities for the OL and TEs to get some blocks in, and we make sure they get recognized for it. I think I mentioned it earlier in...

Solid win for the freshmen yesterday, 24-7 victory. Puts them at 6-1 overall, 2-0 in league and while nothing is a given, our first two opponents were likely our toughest league opponents, so we should be in the driver seat for a league championship over the next 3 weeks. 1st quarter we got...

California is the same, athletically motivated transfers are not "allowed", but there are always workarounds. All tracked on the CIF website - for the 2024-2025 school year, there were 7,811 transfer requests. Thus far for the 2025-2026 school year there have been 4,056

Happening here all the time. A lot of them are kids that went to a private school initially, and either were not as good as they thought they were or got recruited over, transferring back to their "home" school. If not accompanied by a valid change of residence, it's a 30 day sit out period. If...

The majority of the "high schools" in the top 20-25 are either private schools or the academies like IMG. I do wish they would separate the football rankings out to separate those schools from "high schools" like they can do for basketball.

I could see that for all time - interesting though that this year, the top ranked TX high school is #13 in the nation (per MaxPreps rankings) and the only one fro TX in the top 25, while California has 4 in the top 10, 6 in the top 25 with the top northern California school ranked at #19. Shift...

Does your team have a strength coach that they work with? One of the coaches for our program is our S&C coach who oversees the in season lifting and all of the offseason lift programs - and this is for all levels of the program, not just varsity. Also got to make sure he is eating enough to...

Game 6 in the books, first league game. Most likely this game was going to be against our toughest league opponent, but especially at the freshman level, you just never know. But, as expected, this was a very close, back and forth, hard fought game. First quarter, neither offense could get a...
