Summer 2025

Dear prospective Football Players and Families,

The Football team will start pre-season activities on Friday, August 15^th and go through Friday August 22, 2025. This week will be dedicated to the basics – conditioning, stretching, skill drills, form tackling, and an overview of the offense and defense.

Please come prepared with mouth guard, cleats, athletic shoes, shorts, t-shirt, a water bottle, and a light snack.  This week should not be the first time you touch a football or run all summer! We will hit the ground running with conditioning, and if you are not in shape, it will make the start of the year more challenging for you.

Although Minuteman offers a no-cut policy, this rule does not mean that all athletes are entitled to the same amount of playing time during the season. This is a varsity sport – not an intramural or town team. Varsity playing time will be determined by your practice attendance, work ethic, and football ability.

All athletes must register on Arbiter with a recent physical (within one year) in order to participate.

Please be at Minuteman on Friday, August 15^th at 5:00 PM meeting at the Softball Field.

Robert Flynn
