COULD STILL USE SOME 7TH AND 8TH GRADE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Elmore Park will have a Senior Football team this coming 2006 Football Season
Coaches are in place, uniforms have been ordered and everything is set to go. If you are a 7th, 8th or 9th grader that will not turn 15 prior to Dec. 15th you are eligible to play for the Pack.
There are a lot of advantages to playing 7th and 8th grade football at Elmore Park.
Here Are Just A Few:
1. A 7 game schedule with a 3 round playoff schedule: Other leagues only have 5 or 6 games.
2. No year round practices: You begin practice in late July and the season is over the 2nd week in November.
3. Squad Size Is Smaller: Because squad size is smaller you get the chance to hone your skills and get more playing time.
4.Low Cost: Yeah some say they are free to play but pack on extra charges once you start. We tell you what its going to cost and that’s it.
5.Not getting Defined By The High School Coaches: By playing in the other league the high school coaches may decide where you are going to play early as the 7th or 8th grade. With SYS you get the chance to develop at your own pace, still have fun and try a lot of positions. You might not get this chance with the other league.
6.Eligible for SYS Scholarship Moneys: If you participate with SYS you are automatically eligible for participation in SYS's Scholarship Program.
8.Learn the Fundamentals that will allow you to play at the High School Level: Many of our former participants have gone on to sucessfull high-school football careers.Just ask our coaches......

NEW SYS CONFERENCE SYSTEM IN PLACE
SYS has instituted a conference based schedule for the upcoming 2006 season. Broken out into 2 divisions, East and West, Elmore Park will be playing in the Eastern Division against: ARLINGTON, BARTLETT,CORDOVA,ELLENDALE,HAYWOOD AND SOUTHWIND.
We will be playing 6 divisional match-up and 2 non-divisional games. Who our divisional match-ups are should be easy to remember as our first and last games of the season are non-divisional games.
In addition, the games marked with an asterisk at the schedule link indicate which are divisional games.
The 2006 Schedule has already been set and can be found on the scroller on the Elmore Park Home Page. For a more detailed view and printable version of the schedule check out the Scores and Schedule link under Football on the homepage.
Note: Because 2 SYS programs have opted out of the Senior program, the Senior Schedule will be slightly different. The Senior Schedule can olny be viewed at the Scores and Schedules link at this time.
SYS REPRESENTS AT NATIONAL AAU CHAMPIONSHIPS
All of these kids were members of Shelby Youth Sports Track & Field and football programs, finished their season and then continued on with AAU teams or competed unattached to a team.
Each of them had to go through a series of qualifications to get invited to participate in the AAU National Jr. Olympic Track & Field meet.
First they had to go to Kingsport, Tennessee for the AAU District meet and compete against kids from all over Tennessee. In order to advance they had to finish in the top 6 in their events. Each of these kids advanced and their next step would be to travel to the University of Tennessee Knoxville to compete against those kids that advance from Tennessee and now North Carolina in the AAU Regional meet.
Each of these kids now had to finish in the top 4 to get an invitation to Nationals in their respective events. These kids essentially gave up their summer vacations from school to continue to work to improve to be at the top of their game for this National meet. The following is how these kids fared at Nationals.

These kids, parents, coaches and SYS areas have a great deal to be proud of. These kids sacrificed a lot to chase their dreams and by looking at the quality of kids that come from the SYS programs we hope they are around for a long long time giving all of these kids an avenue to reach for their dreams. Congratulations to all! Edit Subtopics |
