				able to accomplish in our first season. Our players also earned respect from the coaches, our fans, and our opponents because of the effort with which they played. While strides were made in some areas, our program will never be content with the stigma of mediocrity that comes with a 4-6 record. We will not be content until we win a league championship and qualify for the state playoffs. We feel that, as a program, we will soon get to the point that we do these two things on a yearly basis. But doing so will take continued progress. Progress that will only come from hard work, commitment and sweat in the weight room. The time to make this progress is now. Tomorrow’s championships are built today in the off-season. We must make continued improvements from this point forward to become the kind of team we aspire to be. We must come together this off-season to become a more close-knit team on the field next fall. Team chemistry is as important as talent in team sports. This chemistry is not found during the season, but is the result of players who spend a great deal of time together working toward a common goal in the off-season.

				We encourage anyone who is interested in helping our program to attend our monthly meetings. Feel free to get in contact with me if you have any questions. See You on Sunday!
			We will be holding our second off-season meeting this Sunday at 7:00pm in the administrative building. Our meetings will always be held on Sunday evenings at 7:00pm. We made a lot of progress as an organization last year, and our goal is to continue that improvement this year. This Sunday we will be discussing the events of this coming off-season, organizing those events, and brainstorming for new ideas.

								aspect of any weight-training program. Great strides are made when attendance to our weight-training sessions are a priority. Without great commitment our players will never reach their potential. For us to Deserve Victory next fall, we must put the time in now.
					We made great progress last off-season in our strength and conditioning program. But we need to continue that improvement in order to reach our goals of becoming a league champion and playoff team. Many of our players have already begun our off-season program in their weight-training course during the school day. For all other players, we will begin next Monday. I will have a meeting later this week to inform the players of our December lifting schedule. Commitment is the most important
							Captain Speak (Coach Buttermore)
							As you probably remember from last year, this section of the newsletter will be used in the future as a forum for our players to talk about some aspect of our football program. I will choose a different player each month to put together a paragraph or two that will be printed in this section. As you may recall at end of last season I chose to appoint captains for the off-season. I felt as if a few of our players had			stepped up as juniors and deserved that honor. This year I have decided to see which of our returning players step to the forefront and become leaders for our program. I stressed earlier the importance of chemistry to team success. Likewise, great teams do not exist without great leadership. As coaches, we are excited to see who steps up this off-season.
			We wish good luck to all of our football players who will be participating in winter sports programs. We also have several coaches on our football staff that will						continue their leadership of our Tri-Valley student athletes this winter. We wish all of them good luck as well.
