Updated summer schedule for East Football.
This is where the foundation for the season gets built. The teams that win in the fall are the ones willing to work in the summer.
Be there. Be consistent. Win in the dark. 🖤❤️

📣 EAST FOOTBALL PARENT HUDDLE
We're making it easier for parents to stay connected and informed this summer.

Agenda:
🏈 5-minute program update from Coach DeWaard
📅 5-minute review of upcoming events and fundraising opportunities
❓ 5-minute Q&A
Our goal is simple: better communication, stronger relationships, and more opportunities for families to be involved in East Football.
If your athlete is part of the program, we encourage you to attend. We hope to see you there every Sunday this summer. Parents of ALL ages (9th-12th) are welcome to attend.
