Football Parent Letter
The Midway Middle School football coaching staff is proud to have your son in the Midway Panther football program.
-Seventh grade practices start at 7 am sharp. The doors to the locker room will be open at 6:30 am. You will need to drop your son off in the back of the school, and they will enter through the athletic doors in the back of the building. Eighth graders practice will be over at 5 pm. Please pick him up in the teacher’s parking lot.
-You will need to purchase blue shorts and a grey T-shirt from middle school athletics for $15.00. The shorts cost $9 and the t-shirts cost $6. They are required to use these for Middle School workouts and must buy more if they are lost.
-Each athlete will be provided w/ a combination lock for his athletic locker. This is to protect the athlete’s items he will bring to school. Replacement cost will be $7.
-All 7th and 8th graders will be required to bring a towel the first week of school. We wash the towels daily for the student athletes.
-We field 4 teams for each grade. Each class will be split evenly into a Red and Blue team. Then each team will have an ‘A’ and ‘B’ squad. We want all players to have an opportunity to play.
-After road games the student may only travel home with their legal guardian. After each road game you must sign them out with a coach or they must return to the school on the yellow bus. We do not want to leave any children behind.
-If a player has one unexcused absence from practice, he will not be allowed to play that week. (Leaving practice early will count as a missed practice.)
-Please make every effort to attend the parent meeting on September 6th. It is at the end of open house which begins at 6:00. We will meet in the main gym immediately after the last class period for a short meeting with the Middle School Coaches and Head Football Coach Terry Gambill.
-Please do not hesitate to ask any question you may have. We look forward to meeting you.
-Middle School Athletics web page should be updated soon.
