Hello Jr Knight Parents,
We are so very excited to kick off the season. We have been working hard behind the scenes to have a great season. We are so excited to have custom jerseys this year and have a new board to really get our organization going in the right direction. Another exciting change we have this year is we will have FHN football coaches assisting at every level. We will be using the same offense and defense as our high school players. We have so much good stuff going on already and hope to keep the momentum going all season long. If you know any kiddos thinking about playing tackle send them our way. We are in need of a few more players!
Camp begins Monday July 11th. It runs Monday- Thursday for 2 weeks. 7 of the 8 days of camp will be held at Hollenbeck middle school, at the fields from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Attire: T-shirt and shorts. Bring a water bottle. Tennis shoes or cleats are preferred.
Thursday July 14th we will hold equipment pickup in place of Camp at FHN- If your player is not playing tackle this year or not yet signed up they do not need to attend. We will do Jersey fittings, Equipment hand out (bring $100 check deposit for equipment, this will be returned at the end of the season once equipment is received back), TJ’s pizza fundraising information, Physicals with Dr. Amanda for $35 if needed (physicals are good for 2 year but must be uploaded into the fhnjrfootball.com site), and a chat from the Coaches.
Our last day of camp is July 21st. We would like to end the camp with a water balloon fight. Please let us know if you would like to provide some water balloons for this purpose. Maybe the players can get some sweet revenge on the coaches after 8 days of hard work.
July 25th we will have our Freddy’s giveback night. It starts at 5pm and runs until 9. If you mention the FHN Jr Knights, when you order 15% of your order will be given back to the organization. The location is 3889 Veterans Memorial Parkway St. Peters, MO 63376.
Sunday August 7th, will be our Season Kick Off party at Laurel Park, Pavilion N! The fun starts at 11. We would love it if you could bring an item to share! Please sign up here https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0A4AABA629A7F85-sign
This season we will be hosting three games at Brown Road Park. We need volunteers to work the concession stand, hold game chains, facilitate the 50/50 raffle and donate items. We will give more info on those dates when we have them.
We also have adopted ½ mile of road on Jungs Station road, from the DQ down to the Carwash. We will have roadway clean up 6 times a year. This is a great team building exercise. We would love it if you and your family would join us at our next clean up (participants must be 8 or older). We had only 2 players join us in June but would love to have more players at our next clean up Saturday August 13th, 2022 at 9am. Our meeting place is the Edward Jones/DQ parking lot. Please wear your FHN Jr. Knights attire.
