Sherwood Park Rams Team Information ... |
|
We offer first class safe equipment with highly trained trainers and equipment staff. Because of our long standing relationship with a Sherwood Park sports doctor, Dr. Jim Adams, we offer you quick access to his professional services. Dr Adams was a professional football trainer with the Edmonton Eskimos before he went into medicine as is highly qualified to treat sports injuries. Dr. Adams makes it a priority to treat our players and we are very grateful for his professional realtionship with us.
Our training facility is first class with a large clubhouse and a LIGHTED outdoor practice field. Our fall practices are therefore well lighted and safe. Our practice facility has been used by all Sherwood Park high schools as well as some of the Pee Wee and Atom teams during the fall months.
Our equipment is properly maintained and replaced regularly with a program in place that ensures only safe, clean and properly fitting equipment is given to our players. We sanitize all our equipment each year through a special process by a local cleaner.
Our coaching and training staff is COMMITTED to providing the BEST coaching and safest practice/playing environment that a bantam player can receive at this level. Safety is our #1 concern which is why our team has tryouts in June of each year. We want to be certain that football is a good "fit" for your child. At our pre-season team functions we charge a "fee" only to ensure that your player is insured with Football Alberta. After all, would you not want your son or daughter covered with sports insurance in the event of an injury? Would you not want the coaches and trainers covered by a suitable policy of insurance in the event of an unforeseen accident at a team function? BEWARE of teams who tell you they do not "charge" for skill events as they may be holding team functions without valid insurance on some of the participants.
The RAMS place a high importance on conditioning as part of the game of football.We do not operate a "boot camp" environment. Our team saves time in its practice schedule for conditioning as a well conditioned body is much more resistant to injury. We also condition our players for another very important reason- our players want conditioning as part of their practice schedule! Conditioning helps us to get better!
Our team does not practice a "win at all cost attitude". All our players see the field during the season but we cannot "guarantee" equal playing time. We prepare to succeed and succeed we have- 7 Division Championships and 5 City Championships in 8 years; 5 Northern Alberta Championships, 4 Provincial championship appearances and 3 Provincial Championships in 7 years! We are reigning provincial champions for 2006! We did not achieve these feats without a "team first, family first" environment. Our practice attendance has been over 90% since 1996. By making practices fun, a RAM is happy to come to practice. Does this sound like a boot camp- win at all cost environment to you?
Our team motto says it all- Respect Attitude Motivation Success. Our players respect each other as equals and display a winning attitude. It is the attitude of a RAM that makes us the envy of other teams and is why we are successful. It is the attitude that you acquire while with us that enables the player and the team to be winners. Winning football games therefore becomes the byproduct of the PLAYERS' commitment to excellence. Our parents display that winning attitude as well and it is very common to see many parents at the practice field during the season encouraging their child and the team.
We also make our players winners off the field. "Football is fun-education is forever!" is our key motto.The RAMS have in place a bursary program that will assist our players as students with the cost of a post secondary education when graduating from high school. Please see our separate bursary link for further information. We are the only bantam team in Canada to offer this program to team alumni!
You will make new friends while with us and many will be friends for life. Why do we know this? The RAMS are a family and everyone fits in- you, your parents, your grandparents, siblings and even your pets! Many of the team fund raising functions are fun events that do not seem like work. By the way, neither you nor your parents will have to fund raise at smoke- filled bingo halls. Our fund raising is creative and healthy.
The RAMS take great pride in developing our athletes to be good football players so don't let anyone tell you that you are not good enough to try out with us! Just as no returning player is guaranteed a position on the team, no new player is guaranteed a position either. Positions have to be earned and that is another reason why we have a tryout camp in June. We do know many of you are good enough to make any football team. We also hope that you will not be afraid to try out for our team because you will not know how good you are until you try! Please contact Coach Skitsko at 464-6113 for more information and to register. Our coaches and players look forward to meeting you there!
