From Coach Joe

NOAH FCA THURSDAY, September 3rd at 7:00 pm.

This is for all NOAH High School athletes and their guests. Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, Baseball, Softball, Tennis, Golf, etc.

This month's meeting will be at the BLANKENSHIPS at 8028 South 85th East Avenue.

This will be our first Fellowship of Christian Athletes Meeting of the year.

We will provide hot dogs.

Everybody bring drinks or chips.

Please park at Jarman Elementary School 9015 E 79th St and we will shuttle up to the Blankenships (4-5 blocks) in 15 passenger van.

Pre-Game Meals for the High School Team

Noah Families:

To our new families - “Welcome.” To our returning families - “it’s that time of year again.” Can’t you just smell the football season in the air?

Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Shelley Roberts - I will be coordinating the sandwich meals for the games. Coach Blankenship and Coach Gastelum like to provide the players with a quick meal before each game (JV and Varsity). It usually consist of sandwiches, fruit, and bottled water. There have been times where families have provided chips, cheese, and other healthy snacks, but we mainly ask that each family do at least sandwiches, fruit, and bottled water.

Many of you signed up at the parent meeting, but some of you were not available and I still need to get your names on the schedule. If you did not sign up, I’ve taken the liberty to insert your family’s name on the schedule. If for some reason, the date does not work for you, please let me know AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE so I can get it rearranged. Please do not wait until the game date to let me know that the schedule will not work for you.

I will send out an email notice every week. It will have the next two games, as well as who is bringing what. I’ll try to make it as easy as possible for you, all you need to do is put your food item in a cooler (put your name on cooler) and bring to the drop off place (the place where Coach Joe designates that the team will be leaving from). We will then transport the ice chests to the game site and return your cooler to your son after the game.

We are requesting that each family sign up for two sandwich slots, two fruit slots, and two water slots.

Sandwiches (20 per slot)
Please bring sandwiches fully made in labeled sandwich bags. Some players do not like condiments, so you may consider leaving a few plain. Some players do not eat pork, so keep that in mind, as well as some players have peanut allergies. So for those reasons, it is imperative that the bags be labeled.

Fruit (20 Pcs. per slot)
Some fruit that the players prefer are: bananas, grapes, apples, oranges. I realize it is difficult to buy a bag of apples/oranges that has 20 in the bag, so just cut them in half. A cluster of grapes in a sandwich bag works great.

Water (1/case per slot) Please bring the water iced down.

I am in the process of finalizing the schedule and will be sending it down via email within the next day or two. Again, take a look at where your name is on the schedule and let me know if it won’t work for you.

I will be sending all notices out through my email address. So if you have a blocker on receiving emails, please add me to your contact list. I also ask that you simply reply to my email acknowledging that you did receive the notice and that everything is okay. It is very difficult for me to have to call you to verify, so please make every effort to simply hit the ‘reply’ button to let me know.

DO NOT reply to any of the coaching staff or administrative staff (ie Danae Fayard, Cheryl Castles, or Rochelle Collingsworth).

Please add my email address to your contacts list, and if you have any concerns or questions, just let me know.

THANK YOU for all your help and support.

High School Scrimmage and Team/Individual Pictures

The scrimmage this Friday will be held at Victory Christian School on Lewis between 71st and 81st.

The scrimmage will include NOAH, Victory and Collinsville.

The scrimmage time for jv is 6:oo with varsity to start around 7:30. The bus will leave the practice field by 3:30 pm so you need to arrive at the practice field by 3:15 pm.

Wear your new blue sleeveless shirts and black NOAH shorts.

Don't forget your white jersey and game pants.

We will take team and individual pictures at the Victory Campus before the scrimmage.

The black game jerseys will be distributed after we arrive at the Victory field so
that the black jerseys can be worn for the pictures.

I will email the picture order form by direct email by Thursday morning. If you have not received an email with the forms attached you may email me and I will forward the order form to you.

We will be on a very tight schedule to have the pictures done before the scrimmage so you will need to have your parents complete the picture order form in advance and have EXACT cash or a check made out to J Palmer Images. If you do not have printing capabilities then you will need to write down your order and enclose your payment in an envelope. Please try to follow these instructions so Mr. Palmer will be able to complete everyones pictures.

Game Uniform Requirements

High School Football Players,

Coach Joe wanted me to remind you of his requirements for the game uniforms.

The jerseys are very expensive and we need them to last as long as possible.

So just a few simple guidelines to help us keep the uniforms in good condition.

Please don't dry your game jerseys, girdle, or black game pants in the clothesdryer.

Hang dry only.

Coach is allowing you to take them home but they are only to be worn on game day.

You are responsible for the jerseys so they may not be worn by anyone else but you.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Danae

A Mesage from our Home Game Coordinator

Dear Football Families,

We are still in great need of a couple, preferably, to take over the job of Concessions Managers. We will be selling pre-packaged items again this year, as we did last year, so the food preparation will be little-to-none. The job would basically be setting up tables and organizing them, overseeing the selling of items and keeping tables replenished. We are not sure yet whether we will be able to store the concession items at the field yet or not, so there would be the possibility of moving them from your home to the game each week, but since there is no prep (warming, cooking, etc...) it would just be boxes of items. If you feel that you and your spouse are the couple for this job, please let us know ASAP! We want to be able to offer concessions this year, but it will take volunteers to make it happen. Also, we may need long tables again like we did last year - and hopefully we will be able to store them at the field as well. We will need these for concessions and the Jag Wear tables. So, if you have some tables that you could part with for the season, we would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you,
Rochelle Collingsworth
NOAH Football Home Game Coordinator

Friday's practice cancelled for Junior High

Coach Sab has cancelled practice for the Junior High team.

He would like to encourage the families of the Junior High players to bring your family to watch the high school team as they have their first scrimmage of the season.
The scrimmage will be held in the NSU Doc Wadley football stadium. It's always exciting to watch them play in a university stadium.

The high school bus will leave the practice field at 3:00. You may join the caravan or arrive later for the JV at 5:00 and the Varsity at 6:00.

In the title above I have linked the directions to NSU in Tahlequah. Click on the title and the map will open.

Come and have a great evening supporting the JAGS!

Friday's Scrimmage in Tahlequah

Coach Joe wants the high school team at the practice field by 2:45 so you can load your equipment in the trailer and have the bus rolling out by 3:00.


Coach wants you to wear the new sleeveless shirt that he gave you on Thursday and your black shorts that he gave you at TU camp. If you didn't attend TU camp then just wear black shorts.

Wear the above to the field and you can wear your girdle under your shorts but don't forget your helmet, shoulder pads, black game pants with pads, belt and white game jersey.

The team will have sandwiches and fruit for the ride on the bus.

I have linked a map to NSU Tahlequah above. Just click on the title above and the map window will open up. If you would like to follow the bus you are welcome to or you may arrive later at the NSU Football Stadium in Tahlequah. The JV scrimmage will start at 5:00 and the Varsity at 6:00.

Mrs. Castles is planning to be at the practice field before we depart if you need to turn in a fee payment.

Make sure your sons start drinking water early so they don't dehydrate.

If you have any questions you may reach me on my cell 918-269-7906

GO JAGS!
