FRESHMAN CORNER
What is a typical 2-a-day practice?
Two-a-day practices, literally mean two practices in one day. At Jefferson, football players begin their 2-a-day session with meetings at 8 a.m. Then it’s off to the field for the first practice at 8:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. An hour break is next, remember to bring your lunch! At 11:30 comes another round of meetings before the next practice session, which starts at noon for 2 hours. Coaches’ comments and the wrap-up finish up the day at about 3 p.m. If you have questions or concerns, please email them to cyndi@cynbadmedia.com.
What is the Kickoff Ceremony?
The upcoming kickoff ceremony is the first opportunity to introduce
the coaches, players, cheerleaders and marching band to Jefferson
fans & community. All players are announced. The players will be bussed to the stadium for the event (stay tuned for specific instructions). This event is typically held on the Saturday of
the four-way scrimmages, with pool parties punctuating the day.
FOUR-WAY SCRIMMAGES
Four-way scrimmages are typically held on a Saturday morning, with the sophomores and JV/Varsity players having their games at
JHS Fields. The sophomores play on fields set up in the grassy area behind the school. The JV/Varsity teams play in “The Pit,’’ the grassy area ringed by the track. Freshmen are bused to Maple Grove for their scrimmages. This year, the scrimmages will be
on Aug. 28 @ 8 a.m.
What’s up with oranges
at halftime?
Oranges, provided by parents, are given to the players on all levels for a quick natural snack. The oranges help to maintain the players’ energy level in the second half of the game. And, well, they’re boys, so they like to eat! A schedule is set up with parents assigned to a game. For each game, 2-3 dozen oranges, quartered, should be delivered to the team (give to manager) in a cooler. Remember to pick up your cooler after the game!
