Ranger Nation,

August is just about here. We are pumped for the start of our 2022 season. This week our freshmen will start their mandatory training camp practices in the morning while our upperclassmen will continue their open weight room training. I have listed details for the week below so you can plan.

Football Team Community Service Opportunities:
The football program will continue our community outreach service event this week. We are partnering with Toyota of Cedar Park and Hill Country Community Ministries to collect new brand name athletic or running shoes to help others in the community. Our school will be competing against other schools in a “Stuff the Truck” event. If you would like to help, please send a new boxed pair of shoes with your child either Monday or Tuesday to donate. These shoes will be collected in the coaches office until delivery on Wednesday, August 3rd. It is a great way for our players to get involved and help others in the community. Shoes collected will be distributed to local students in the community.

“Peanut Butter Bowl”
Additionally, our program along with Bowie HS will be collecting jars of peanut butter to help support those less fortunate in the community. After our game against Bowie, our jars of peanut will be picked up and donated to Hope Austin. The Peanut Butter Bowl, as it will be called, will pit us against Bowie HS in donating the most jars of peanut butter. Donations can also be made online through their website www.PeanutButterBowl.com. For every $2 donated Vista Ridge will get credit for a jar of peanut butter. Please consider adding another jar of peanut butter to the grocery list and sending it in with your child to practice. Jars of peanut butter will be collected in the coaches office.

9th Grade Teacher Breakfast Sign-Up
Incoming 9th grade parents, please sign up with the link above for the freshman “Welcome Back Teachers” Breakfast on August 15th. Each year the VR Football Booster Club and the freshmen football players welcome our wonderful teachers and administration back to school by spoiling them with a delicious breakfast served by our incoming freshmen football players. Please consider donating to this event by clicking on the link above.

Also, if you have not had a chance to add the SportsYou app to your device please do so. This will be the primary channel of communication we will utilize as the season begins. Details can be found below.

Enjoy the week.

Go Rangers!

Ranger Nation,

The players had a great week of work last week. We finished the week off with a game simulation conditioning session on our grass field. It was tough and hot out there but the players responded, worked hard, and encouraged each other along the way. Just a reminder that speed and strength camp will be shut down Monday (7/18) and Tuesday (7/19). The camp will resume Wednesday (7/20) and we will finish for the summer on Thursday (7/21). It has been fun to watch each athlete get better each week. We look forward to the upcoming season.

Football Team Community Service:
The football program will also be starting a community outreach service event where we will be partnering with Toyota of Cedar Park and Hill Country Community Ministries to try and collect new brand name athletic shoes to help others in the community. Our school will be competing against other schools in a “Stuff the Truck” event. We will be trying to collect the most pairs of shoes. It is a great way for our players to get involved and help others in the community. Shoes collected will be distributed to local students in the community.

Also, if you have not had a chance to add the SportsYou app to you device please do so. This will be the primary channel of communication we will utilize as the season begins. Details can be found below.
Enjoy the week.

Go Rangers!
