Spring Time! Things Happening!!!!

Today is Thursday March 29th, 2012. I establish the date for several friends that like knowing how long it is until the 2012 football season gets underway. I am not into Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds as some folks are but we are pretty near five months until kickoff at all the “Classics” around the state that will begin on Thursday August 30th. There are things going on right now and lots more on the horizon.

For instance:
we are just beginning the annual coaching carousal. These schools are currently looking to fill HC positions:
O'Donnell
Grandfalls-Royalty
Covington
New Home
Water Valley
Lazbuddie
Brookesmith
Campbell
Buckholts
Hedley

Are there currently others? Could be. Will there be others? Yes sir! This list is very fluid like and will be changing almost by the minute until the season begins!!!!!

You can’t get a new season going without having coaching clinics. It is impossible. With that said, you need to know that

Seguin Lifegate Clinic - June 22, 2012 SIX-MAN FOOTBALL COACHES CLINIC in Seguin.

DATE - Friday, June 22, 2012
LOCATION – Lifegate Christian School, 395 Lifegate Lane, Seguin, Texas

Registration starts at 8:00 am, Clinic runs from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

The registration form will be going out in early April. Registration includes lunch, beverages and a chance at door prizes.

RIDDELL ALL-AMERICAN and ALERT SERVICES representatives will be at the Clinic.

Also, the first TEN SCHOOLS who register for the Clinic will get a free Clinic DVD (either the 2010 or 2011 Clinic)! There will be a discount for early registration (including a special price for schools sending four or more coaches to the Clinic).

http://www.sixmanclinic.com

The website will have information on the Clinic, registration information, how to order past clinic DVD’s, and links for hotel and vacation opportunities in the Seguin/San Antonio/Austin/Central Texas area.

Speakers confirmed so far are:

Bret Tyler – Valley H. S.
Jordan Barker – Waco Live Oak Academy
Phillip Hudgens – Austin Hill Country Christian School
Eddie Gallegos & Jake Barnes – Jonesboro H.S.
(One additional speaker to be named)

Each speaker will make about a 45 minute presentation and we’ll have two or three chalk-talk breakout sessions. We’re working on topics (and if you have any ideas, let us know) but a couple that we’re thinking of is coordinating your sub-varsity and varsity programs and game logistics.

We have arranged a special $85/night rate with the LaQuinta Inn & Suites in Seguin (830-372-0567; ask for the Lifegate Coaches Clinic Rate). ROOMS WILL BE VERY LIMITED, so if you are planning to spend the night here, make your reservations now. Because of the growth of the “Eagle Ford” oil/gas developments in South Texas, many hotels are at full occupancy even 30-50 miles away from the main areas being developed.

Any other questions, feel free to call or e-mail.
