The time has come again to start thinking about football. We have two State Championships to defend this year and new Championships to win!!

We are excited to announce our optional summer conditioning is starting Monday, June 13th.

Summer conditioning was started last year for Cardinals Football players that want to get out of the house 2 nights a week and get some exercise in before the season officially starts. It was very successful and we look to build on it this year.

Details:

When: Mondays and Thursdays: 5:30 - 7:00 PM until August (when the full season starts).

Where: Wasserman Football Field.

Important Details:

In order to participate

• you must be registered for the 2022 season
• Also, we need a medical clearance in hand for the player within one year. If you submitted one last year for the season that will work for conditioning if it is still valid within a year.

Please submit medical clearance or verify that yours is still valid with our Program Administrator, Chandra Miller, at program@merrimackcardinals.org

Also important, it will be hot! If your player does not have water they can not participate. Please ensure they have enough water for the full 1.5 hours.

A parent, or responsible adult, needs to be at the field at all times in case of an emergency or inclement weather. Responsible adult could be another parent or a coach who has accepted that responsibility. Please don't just drop your child off!

Lastly, as a reminder, this is completely voluntary! Attendance will not affect play time during the season other than potential skill/conditioning gained. It is understood that summer is a time for family, vacation and other sports; however, if time permits we would love to see you and your player!

Please reach out to Greg Miller, Football Coordinator at football@merrimackcardinals.org, if you have any questions or concerns. A follow up email with important dates for the season will be sent in the next week to all who have registered, so if you are not registered and plan to, please do so soon!
