Welcome Spartan Football Families:
Update 2/19/21:
Spartan Families,
Let me first just say I’m so happy for our Seniors!
This morning the State has adjusted their criteria for color tiers based on their scientific data. With that said, pending SC County approval we will be able to have a 5-game football season with our first game March 19th. There are still many unanswered questions that will need to be worked out over the coming days since there are some new requirements presented during today’s announcement. I will be spending the next few days reviewing and meeting with SCVAL league reps along with our Administration to try and gain more information etc… While that is happening we need to get going with a plan for conditioning, practicing and playing. Here’s some dates as we ramp up our efforts:
Week of February 22nd
- Conditioning Monday-Friday 4:30 – 6:30 pm
- Equipment/Gear Handout: Friday 2/26 – Varsity 2:30 pm/ FS 3:30 PM
- Saturday 2/27 – 8 am only- Gear Handout
Week of March 1st- Varsity Only
- Monday 6-8 pm practice
- Tuesday 5- 7:45 pm
- Wednesday 5- 7:45 pm
- Thursday 6-8 pm
- Friday 5- 7:30 pm
- Saturday 9-11 am – 2-4 pm- Two practice times
- Frosh/Soph: All practice times will be 4:30-6:30pm, as well as Saturday DBL Day
Please note we are sharing the fields with 4 soccer teams that will be also practicing before and after school. This schedule was worked out between our programs.
We hope to have a scrimmage on Friday March 12th
First game March 19th TBA as a revised schedule is being developed
Still need to find out about fans in the stands, hoping for a minimum of immediate family.
