Attention Onalaska Football Families
 
Reminders and Important Dates:
 

1. We encourage all of our players to take a vacation during the summer.  The ideal dates to take a vacation would be the week of the 4th of July or the week before the football season starts.   Football starts August 5th with equipment handout (attendance this day is required, even if you have equipment from a camp or other event) and August 6th for the first day of practice. 
   
   
2. Physicals and ALL other forms must be handed in before your athlete can practice.  Physicals must be dated on or after April 1st, 2019 for it to count for this season.   Schedule this ASAP to make sure your athlete does not miss any time due to forms not being turned in.  If you have a question on whether or not you need a physical for fall of 2019 contact the activities office right now.  Missed practice equates to a loss of playing time.
   
   
3. May 29th, 6:00pm in OHS commons there will be a parent/ player meeting for all football players including incoming freshmen. 
   
   
4. By the request of players, we will be having voluntary open gyms on a every other week basis starting April 28th at 5:30pm-7:00pm.  Players are invited to come to player led activities to get them back in the football mindset.  Must be ok with current sports coach if they are playing a school sport.
