FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE....MONDAY 7/28/08!!!! 

Our 2008 Season officially starts on Monday, July 28, 2008!!  All participants should arrive at Pennichuck Middle School fields by 5:30 to find their team and get settled.  

FOOTBALL:  All football players should wear SHORTS, T-SHIRT, CLEATS AND HELMET ONLY FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF PRACTICE for conditioning.   Full equipment starts on the second week.  All football players should try on all their equipment and if anything doesn't fit, bring it back during that first week of practice and come up to the trailer BEFORE practice starts to replace it.

SPIRIT:  All cheerleaders should wear SHORTS, T-SHIRT AND SNEAKERS, have their hair tied back without any clips and have no earrings in.

ALL PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BRING PLENTY OF WATER WITH THEM EVERY NIGHT!!!! 

If you have any questions, please go to the Board of Directors section and feel free to email any one of us!

See you all on the 28th!!!

Nashua Elks Crusaders Board of Directors

Each year, parking at the practice field at Pennichuck Middle School is an issue....especially the first few weeks of practice.  Please be advised, you MUST park in designated parking spaces ONLY!!  You MAY NOT park in posted no parking zones which includes the circle by the tennis courts...you WILL BE TICKETED!!  The Nashua Police Department does come and ticket on a nightly basis!! 

Also, parking at the top of the hill where the trailers are is restricted to vehicles with handicapped plates, Coaches and Board of Directors only.  New this year, such designees will have visible parking passes hanging in their vehicles.   We MUST limit parking up there for safety reasons!  The dirt road leading to the upper field should be considered a No Parking Zone - we must keep it clear!  Please park in designated spots in the Pennichuck Middle School parking lot and walk through the fields to the upper hill...this walk is actually perfect for the football players to get their muscles warmed up before they start practicing. 

We ask for your cooperation and understanding and look forward to a great year!

The 2008 Mandatory State Weigh-Ins for football are scheduled for Saturday, August 23, 2008 at Conval High School in Peterborough, NH.  The times are TBD.  We will probably be meeting at Pennichuck Middle School and carpooling up.  Details to follow.  Please remember that the weigh in is MANDATORY - any football participant that does NOT show up to weigh in, will NOT be allowed to play in the first game the very next day and will have to go to Supplemental Weigh Ins on Sept. 2nd!!
