Week 1 Schedule and Important Information

As we approach the first week of football, I would like to provide some information necessary for participation. All freshmen that are registered at Aptos High School are able to join the freshmen football team. We would love to increase our numbers ans welcome all athletes. If you were unable to attend the summer workouts, you are still able to join the freshmen football team. 

A physical from a doctor (MD or DO) is necessary for participation going forward. If you did not attend summer workouts and did not get the paperwork packet, you can find all the necessary forms on the home page of this website. The completed forms should be handed in to Coach Scott Russo on the first day of practice. If you are unable to get an appointment with your family physician, physicals can also be completed at drop-in clinics like Doctors on Duty. 

The practice schedule for the first week is as follows

  • Wednesday, August 4: all level conditioning practice from 4:00-6:00 pm. Please have your athlete to the field by 3:30 pm so they are ready to start at 4:00 pm. Plan for pick up around 6:15 pm. 
  • Thursday, August 5: Equipment distribution at 2:00 pm. The school will provide all the necessary equipment except for mouthpieces and cleats. This equipment includes helmet, shoulder pads, pants with associated pads, practice jersey, and carrying bag. Game jerseys will be distributed at a later date. If you choose to, you may purchase any of the equipment privately as well. If you choose to purchase your own helmet, the colors are navy blue with a navy blue face mask. An all level conditioning practice will be held after equipment distribution and will run from 4:00-6:00 pm. It is easiest if you plan for your athlete to stay on campus for practice after the equipment has been handed out. This practice will not be held in pads.
  • Friday, August 6: First day of practice in pads. Practice will be from 4:00-6:00 pm. Please have your athlete arrive by 3:30 pm at the earliest as the first day of freshmen practice always entails a great deal of equipment adjustment for proper fit. Pick up time will be approximately 6:15 pm.

Practice times for the week of August 9-13 are yet to be confirmed but practices will be held Monday through Friday for the first two weeks.
