So far - so ...mixed

After off season conditioning, mini-camp and two spring practices the NOAH JAGS football program's outlook is very promising. There are a lot of quality young men with athletic ability competing as Jaguars. Our effort and intensity were good for the first two practices. Our coaching staff believes we are ahead of where we were at this time last year in a lot of areas. We also believe there is MUCH room still to improve.

On another note - I want to express my thanks to our coaching staff (Steve Gastelum, Ben Harris, Gary Woodson, and Tyler Brown -as well as some former players who have helped) for all of their effort and sacrifice. I want to say thank you to Danae Fayard and the team of helpers she has recruited for various tasks.

HOWEVER - WE ARE DESPERATELY IN NEED OF AN EQUIPMENT MANAGER - who could help fit, repair and manage the equipment for the players. After mini camp and two practices - I have lost over 30 minutes that I could have been coaching and another hour plus after practice taking care of and addressing equipment issues. Having quality help in this area last year was an important part of our program's success in 2008 and will be key to the success of 2009. It is also a pivotal component in keeping our coaches and their families positive about doing what they are best at.

Attached is a job description for our equipment manager. If you can help, please let me know by email of your interest.

Sincerely,

Coach Joe Blankenship
