Good Afternoon and Welcome to the 2025 Football Season,

We are off and running with our spring commitments. We have had some coaching changes and these early Sunday meetings are helping with teaching the X and O’s of our new systems.

Here is the link to the calendar for the rest of spring and more importantly SUMMER. It is going to be a full sprint this year as CHSAA voted to take on the NFHS heat acclimation week a year early. This means our Fall season will start officially on August 4th with a week of helmets and jerseys and then we will have license to do our full contact acclimation starting August 9th.

I will also be adding some after school weight room opportunities in March that will get added to this calendar as soon as I know what is available to us this Spring. These will coin side with open mat times with the wrestling program. These are great opportunities to become better tacklers regardless of participation in the wrestling program.

I will be rolling out UNC FOOTBALL TEAM CAMP information as soon as possible. I would like to get registration and payment taken care of much earlier this year. The cost is looking like $250 a player this summer. This will cover camp and our transportation. We had a great showing last year with the way we competed and the number of players we brought to camp. All scrimmages will be separated again between Varsity and JV. Much like last summer, I will not let financial cost deter any player from attending camp with us. We want as many players as possible to attend camp this summer.

If you have been following on social media, The Denver Broncos made a giant pledge to donate new Riddell Axiom helmets to every Football program in Colorado. We are currently in a hold position as our District works through all the legal ins and outs of this possibility. I will communicate information to our football community when it is provided to me. It is estimated we would receive 17 helmets a season for the next four seasons. I am hopeful all of this comes to fruition.

If you have any immediate questions please let me know. I am excited to get us moving forward now that March is around the corner. We have a great group of young men returning to our program this Fall and are hopeful of another big freshmen group this summer.

Blessings and Sko Cougs,
Coach Blume
