Hudson Boosters to Add Tackle Football for Third- and Fourth-graders

The goal of the program is to provide tackle football to the third- and fourth-grade kids using a group coaching format to create an atmosphere where every player has equal opportunities to learn proper techniques and become a good, safe football player. We strive to provide the best experience for all players, coaches, and parents.

Players will be coached in a group manner for the first half of the season, rotating to different stations in small groups where they will participate in various drills. This best leverages the expertise and experience of all available coaches to expose each player to the most well rounded coaching possible. In addition to stations, players will be divided up into teams and taught player positions and plays in a scrimmage type atmosphere.

The cost of the program is $95 and all equipment will be provided by the Hudson Boosters with the exception of cleats, which are NOT mandatory for play but are recommended.

All practices will be held on Tuesdays and Thursday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. starting the end of August.

A parent information meeting will be scheduled for the middle of May. Please see the Hudson Boosters website for time and place.

Program registration and equipment measurement will be on Wednesday, May 30,   from 6-8 p.m. at the Hudson Boosters equipment shed located at the corner of First Street and St. Croix Street. If you miss the registration night, filled out forms can be mailed to the Hudson Boosters, PO Box 354, Attn: Football, Hudson, WI. 54016.
