Happy July Parents,
Can you believe we are now about halfway through the summer at this point? At my house it feels like we just finished the HS year as my oldest (Cael) was part of the magical run for the Baseball team that was able to win the State Championship. Right after that he and Joey Treccia were lucky enough to play in the All State football game. Both players did very well on the field this past Friday. All of our Season D teams did very well with Lacrosse playing in the quarterfinals after an undefeated season. The track team had a number of athletes make it to the final state meet in both running and field events. Boys Volleyball (a combined group with Legend) made it to the state championship. All in all, there were a number of football players that showed out as multi-sport athletes….
This week is our typical dead period for the summer weight program but this year it is a bit modified with the July 4th holiday falling on the weekend. The summer weights program will start up again this Thursday (July 8th) and then run through the balance of July.
Fall Camp
The last 2 weeks of July are when our “Fall Camp” will take place for all levels. This is where a lot of the prep work for the season will happen ahead of practices starting once school gets going. The Varsity and JV schedule as well as the Freshman schedule is below. The Summer conditioning schedule will remain in place during these camp sessions. The cost for this camp will be $40/player and we will get that payment link out to you once it is available. If you have any questions on this please let me know.

Broncos 7v7 Waiver
Next Thursday July 15th is the summer 7 on 7 session that is hosted by the Denver Broncos. Most of the 7v7 sessions over the summer are a good way to get reps for everyone that can make it but this one is a little different. This is a competitive event and there isn’t a guarantee of playing time for everyone. Anyone that wants to participate will need to get the attached waiver signed and back to Coach Cohen the morning of the event at the latest – w/o a waiver on file your player will be sent home. IF you prefer to fill it out electronically, please forward it to Coach Cohen once completed – jaron.cohen@dcsdk12.org
