TU team camp is just a week away. Here are a few things that may answer or clarify any questions that you may have.
Below this post is a message from Coach Joe.
We will collect the TU registration forms ( titled 2009 Todd Graham Football Camp Participant acceptance notification) and TU fee payments on this Tuesday. We will be available before and after practice. Each NOAH athlete will pay $75 toward the $185 camp fee and NOAH football will pay the balance. A sports physical is required for each participant. If you played NOAH tackle football last year or if you have given me a physical for this year. I will prepare a copy of your physical that will be handed in with your TU registration form. The other handouts that were included are for you to keep and use to prepare for the camp.
Item number one on the registration form: If your son has health insurance please make a copy of the insurance card on the back of the registration form.
I wouldn't attach a claim form to the registration form. The insurance card will be sufficient.
A few parents have asked about the social security number request near the bottom of the form. I am not including my sons ss number but if you feel comfortable to do so you may. The form states that a $90 check will be required for a deposit on each room key. We have not given a deposit for each participant in the past. Coach is not requiring a check for the key deposit. Although, if your son loses his room key he will be responsible to pay the $90 fee that TU will require to replace the lock/key on his room. One of our coaches will supervise and help the guys keep up with their keys. We haven't lost one yet.
The second and third handouts give you and your sons a typical schedule and other helpful information while they are at camp.
Please have your sons read all of the camp forms, handouts and all of the emails/messages regarding TU camp. Please remind them that they are representing Christ, NOAH Jaguars and their families.
Here are some tips for first timers:
They are fed very well at meal times. They can have as much as they want while they are in the cafeteria. They are not allowed to take any food out of the cafeteria. So around nine in the evening most are ready for pizza. A pizza can be ordered for $10 which can be shared between roommates if they don't want the entire pizza.
Cleats can't be worn in any of the buildings. This is strictly enforced. It would be wise to bring a pair of sandals/sliders and a string backpack or bag that they can carry their cleats or sliders in to and from sessions.
Do not bring clothing or items that display other team names or logos. You may wear NOAH logos and colors or TU logos and colors. They could use several changes of clothing everyday if they shower between sessions (which I am sure their roommates will greatly appreciate). They will need every t-shirt they bring and it would be unfortunate if the only clean shirt they have left is an Arkansas, OU, OSU, t-shirt that they won't be able to wear while at camp.
Coach will have a designated location for the team to meet on the first morning of camp. He will also send out a message that will give the approximate time and location to pick up your son at the end of camp on Wednesday.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
GO JAGS!
