Helmet Drive Fund Raiser – Saturday, August 27 – RAIN OR SHINE- We will have players at various locations with 1 parent chaperone per 2 players collecting donations for the Silver Bullets. Players should wear any Silver Bullets shirts they have or their practice jerseys. They should also bring their helmets with a plastic bag lining it to collect donations. This has been so successful in the last 2 years that we have not needed to do any further fund raising campaigns. Please come out and help. The boys have a good time and all our supporters have been very generous. (Sure beats selling more raffles tickets or calendars!!) Jeff Richards (Fund Raising Director) will be at the Information Table so you can sign up your player/ parent to volunteer his shift or contact Jeff by email at info@barnstablesilverbullets.org
School Comes First – We realize there are various Open Houses and Orientations this week and as always BSB policy is that school comes first. Coaches have asked that if you are able please join practice late, after your function and just come in shorts.
Important Dates:
- Wednesday, August 31 – We will be taking a special formation photo for the cover of our 25th Anniversary Program Guide before practice. If you can get to practice at 5:00 to set up the photo please do so. It will be a aerial shot (no faces) and we realize the early start is difficult for many families. No pressure and only come when convenient for your parents. Practice will start at 5:45 as usual.
-Thursday September 1 - Scrimmage with DY at home. All players need to be at the field as close to 5:00 as possible to stretch and warm up. Scrimmage begins at 5:30 and practice ends at 7:30.
