Practice will be as scheduled, rain or shine. Cancellation only happens if there's a chance of thunder/lighting or an unexpected emergency. Running will be a big part of conditioning your body, so drink lots of water throughout the day and bring plenty to practice. Remember to be in full gear, don't forget cups, mouth guards or cleats. Please remember to arrive 15 minutes early to put on cleats and gear, and be ready to start at 5 p.m. Also, water, water, water!!

If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat. - Herschel Walker

Thanks to everyone who participated in the PPK Fundraiser this past Saturday at BHS Field. This year was especially exciting because the staff at BAM "Basic Athletic Measurement" offered free combine testing to all BJF participants. For more information about BAM and to view the results visit www.bamtesting.com 
 
We would like to encourage those of you who still need to collect pledges to do so. The top fundraiser will be awarded a special prize and a pizza party for your team! Please turn in your pledge packets to your Team Parent no later than September 3rd.
 
As you know, the success of our fundraisers is only possible with community support and your participation.
 
We sincerely thank you once again and hope that you would extend your valuable support in our future events/fundraisers.
