Dear Assumption Football Family,

We were grateful to have a full football season and we congratulate the outstanding effort and success of our players.  The incredible support and cooperation of our football families was deeply appreciated in this most challenging season.  Regretfully, it appears that we will not be able to provide our players and their families with a meaningful awards recognition event but would like to at a minimum, recognize those that earned awards.  It was truly a special season for our teams.  Our players rose to every challenge and our coaches did an outstanding job of dealing with a very difficult situation throughout the year. 

Special thanks to all of our helpers and volunteers:

• Game Managers – Greg Miller, Andy Craig
• Ball Boys – Drew Craig, Anthony Craig, Luke Jobgen, Ben Votroubek
• Press Box Staff – Steve McIntosh, Ron Crino, Matt Wastyn
• Stats – Dave Kent, Marty Irmen, Doug Jennings, Rick Thomas
• Admissions – Larry Rodl, Dave King
• Transportation – Jackie Guldenpfennig
• Chain Gang – Frank Solis, Bob DeMeyer, John Panther, Mike Panther, Frank Peeters, Dan Gillum
• Medical Staff – Dr. Andrew Bries, PT – Kelly Kersten, Trainer – Kaelene Kragenbrink-Voorhees

Also a very special thanks to our Rising Knights Coordinator, Scott Kulhanek and his staff for providing outstanding leadership and tireless effort to provide an outstanding experience for our youth football players and families in a difficult time!

I’m sure there may be others that should be mentioned but please know that we are grateful to all that have helped us throughout the season.  Finally, a special thanks to the players and families of Assumption Football.  As we mentioned at our preseason meeting, football is a family commitment.  Thanks for allowing us to have your son in our program.  It was a special year for our program and one we can all be extremely proud of!  Thanks to all and Go Knights!

Sincerely Yours in the Assumption Spirit,
Coach Wade King

Fresh/Soph Football
Practice
Members of the Freshmen/Sophomore Football team will be allowed to drop off all of their pads, helmet, shoes and gear prior to the start of the school day or may keep them in their car if they drive. Anything other than shoulder pads, helmets and shoes that are left in the locker room during the day must be bagged up. If you have a large bag, it is suggested you bag all of your gear.

Players may change in the locker room after school. All gear and clothing must be removed from the locker room before going to practice. It can be stored at practice or be placed in their car during practice. Following practice, all players will leave with all of their gear and equipment. Nothing may be left overnight and items will be thrown out if left.

No showering will be allowed following practice in the locker room but it is expected that players will shower immediately upon arriving at home after practice.

Requirement – Helmets & shoulder pad shells and shoes must be disinfected following each practice. Freshmen/Sophomore players are responsible to get this done after every practice.

Games
For games we will allow the Freshmen/Sophomore team to leave their clothes in the locker room during the game and they can remove them after they return. They will have a very limited time to shower and change when they return. They may also travel home with their parents following the game. We will always dress at Assumption before leaving for away games.

Varsity
Practice
The Varsity Football team will be assigned a locker or an area in the varsity football building. Players may leave their gear in their locker/area when they arrive in the morning as long as it is bagged or they may leave their gear in their cars. Varsity players may leave their helmets, shoulder pads & shoes in their locker/area after practice but everything else must be taken and nothing else can be left overnight.

No showering will be allowed following practice in the locker room but it is expected that players will shower immediately upon arriving at home after practice.

Requirement – If players take their helmets, shoulder pads and shoes, they are responsible to disinfect them prior to the next practice. Helmets, shoulder pads and shoes left in the locker room will be disinfected by the coaching staff.

Games
The Varsity will always change at Assumption prior to leaving for all games. Players will be allowed to shower following games at Assumption. Again, all individual gear other than helmets, shoulder pads and shoes must be removed when players leave the locker room.

Thank you for your cooperation!
