DJH Lions start practice Aug. 15

Body

Dublin Jr High Football coach Shawn Bradford announced that practice will begin for DJH Lions on Aug. 15. The announcement was made in a letter that also read: As we get ready to start a new school year there are a few things we have to get together before we begin. All incoming 7th graders and 8th graders need to have a physical on file that is signed by parents (guardians) and students.

We need to have this before any athlete can participate in athletics. For athletics each student needs to bring athletic shoes (Running/ Weight lifting). If a student does not have cleats we have several pairs and we will provide them. Our athletic period will be eighth period, at the end of the school day. The first day of school we will meet in the Jr. High locker room. We should be done with after school practices about 4:45pm. Pickup will be at the football field.

We will be handing out football equipment on Wednesday, Aug. 9 (the first day of school). We will hand out equipment on the first day of school. We will do this during 8th period athletics. We will also assign lockers on that day. We will not practice after school until Aug. 15.

We are very excited about this upcoming year and look forward to a great season in every sport that we participate in. There is lots of excitement in the air and we hope that you are as excited as we are about starting this new year. The Dublin Coaching Staff look forward to seeing each of you on August 9 . Enjoy the remainder of your summer and come back to school with an excitement about this upcoming year.

Once again, I would like to remind each of you that you must have a physical turned in to compete in any athletic event. Basketball, Cross Country, and Track all need to have physicals on hand by the first day of school.
