This pre-season football packet contains vital information for you regarding the school, athletic department, and football teams. We will make an effort to keep you and your parents as well informed as possible. I will be posting important team information on my website, christopherlindstrom.weebley.com. Please check this website regularly throughout the summer for any updates or changes as well as rules, regulations, recommendations, and requirements. We will also be sending reminders and updates throughout the summer via HUDL so please make sure those accounts are up-to-date and checked often. Information will also be posted on Twitter (@SHRHS_Football). It is imperative that we have all required information (Including Physicals) in as soon as possible so that we may directly concentrate on football related issues upon the first day of practice (FRIDAY 8/19/16). It is imperative for the success of the team, and your personal success, that you are faithful to your running and lifting workouts at either the Shepherd Hill fitness room or on your own.
