​
HMS offers 2 levels of flag football, Varsity and Junior Varsity, to compete in the 210 Middle School Athletic League composed of local middle schools in the surrounding cities.
Varsity:
The team will be composed of 8th and 7th graders.
Junior Varsity:
The team will be composed of 7th and 6th graders.
This will be a competitive team that will hold no more than 20-25 players. There will be a tryout and cuts will be made based on ability, as well as intangibles like coachability, work ethic, potential, commitment, and complementary skill sets needed for football . The tryouts will consist of basic football drills, agility and speed work as well as game play.
Goals and Expectation:
The coaches goals for the upcoming season is to have the student athletes say this at the end of the season:
1) "I had fun playing football this year."
2) "I want to play football again next year."
In addition, we desire to get our student athletes prepared for the next level of their playing career whether it’s the high school level or for the following travel season. With that in mind, there will be high expectations from the student athlete; in the classroom, on the practice field, and during our games.
​
Commitment:
Therefore, as coaches we expect 100% commitment from our athletes to our travel program. The players must demonstrate practice and game commitment in order for us to train and play as a team. Exceptions may apply such as other school related activities, illnesses, or doctor/dental appointments.
Commitment to the team plays a big part of what we are trying to accomplish; violations could result in practice/game suspensions, possible decrease in playing time, or possible removal from the program under the coach and Athletic Director discretion.
Players will be given a contract and the coach will hold a team meeting early in the season outlining the expectations and commitment needed to play at a competitive level in middle school sports.
