Spring Camp 2014

The day is almost upon us. We are fueled up and ready for action. Some of the Redmen players and coaches got a jumpstart on the football year with RMF Spring League and Football Saskatchewan ID camps. This is your opportunity to show our coaches your skills and get ready for the fall. The snow on the ground is perfect because we fully intend on practicing when there's snow on the ground in the fall. Let's go.

Off Season Yoga

Official Off Season training will begin today, November 22nd in the wrestling room at lunch. Matt Yausie will be joining us from 1210 to 1255 to prepare you for the upcoming season.

Week 7 - Regular Season Finale vs. Riffel

A promising first half turned into disappointment by game's end. Moving the ball effectively on Offense, but penalties left the Redmen spinning their wheels and unable to put any majors on the board. A well prepared defense eventually weakened and sloppy tackling allowed the Royals to find the endzone twice in the second half en route to a 22-3 victory.

Week 6

Another win by the Redmen over Knoll. The windy conditions played a factor early, allowing the Knoll kicker to sail the ball into the endzone for a single point from the opening kickoff. The Redmen offense went to work and racked up yardage and scores from Ryan Schienbein and Brady Reid. The first half ended with an electric punt return touchdown from Schienbein. The Redmen D stayed strong and after interceptions from Eric Despins and Aiden Larsen, the Redmen found themselves celebrating a 27-10 victory. This week, Riffel on Friday at 730 at Mosaic Stadium.

Week 5

College Avenue Cup week vs. Miller
A questionable start, running 2 offensive plays, giving up a touchdown and safety seemed to light a fire under the Redmen offense. After being down 9-0 after Q1, the Redmen scored 2 quick touchdowns and moved the ball effectively while slowing the Miller offense. More of the same in the second half allowed the Redmen to seal a 26-9 victory and return home with the College Avenue Cup.

Week 4

All sorts of hype surrounded the Friday night game vs. homecoming. A chill in the air, but optimism running wild on the Balfour sidelines. After a tight first quarter and a half, a small blowup allowed the Tartans to score 14 quick points and gain some distance from their homecoming rivals. The Redmen tightened up in the second half and made it interesting in the final quarter, but ended up with losing 34-20.

Week 2

A tough loss against a strong Leboldus team let the Redmen know how much work they need to put in to succeed and compete with teams of that calibre. A bye week lets us get back to basics and get some of the late additions to the team up to speed.

Week 1

A tough loss for the Redmen, 39-22 to the Luther Lions. The game was back and forth, but in the end, the heat and exhaustion took it's toll on the outnumbered Balfour players. Bright spots on the field were Ryan Schienbein scoring two touchdowns on 18 carries and racking up 193 yards. Justice Taylor threw a touchdown to Tyrel Latoski, finishing with 122 yards passing. Nolan Spence and Luke Wilson drew some huge cheers for their bone crushing hits. Next up for the boys in Red, LeBoldus - Friday September 13 at Leibel Field (515pm).

All #BCfootball players! Please note this important information regarding this years Spring League. This is a great opportunity to improve your skill sets and expose yourselves to some top level coaching in the province. The best way to improve in-game performance is to get those in-game reps. Take advantage!

Coach

Regina Minor Football Spring Football League is for players attending High School. The
league will be open to any person in grade 9, 10, or 11, who has played RMF or High
School Football. The league will run from April 8 – May 15. I have attached a tentative
schedule.
Registration deadline is March 15, 2013. The total cost is $225.00. The total fee must
be included with a player’s registration form. These fees include RMF Spring League
Fees, Football Sask ID Camp registration fee, T-shirt, practice jersey, practice pants,
practices and games on artificial turf, and the Leibel Field resurfacing fund.
Players may use RMF equipment. Practice pants will be supplied and used for games and
practices. Players are responsible for their own girdles, hip, tail, thigh and knee pads
(available for purchase when drawing equipment). Players can draw equipment on
March 26th or April 4th. There will be 4 evaluation practices**. Coaches will then draft
between 40-44 players to each RMF Spring League Team. Team practices will start
April 15th. All teams will have 5 practices, and then play their first game April 24. All
teams will have two practices before each subsequent game.
Players will be expected to attend all practices and games. If you plan to play
competitive baseball or attend Hockey tryout sessions in the spring, participation in the
spring league may be difficult. Players will be asked to include the position played and
preferred position when registering. This may or may not be the position players will be
playing in the league. Players not placed on a team will be refunded $100.00.
**Our evaluation will be run in conjunction with Football Sask. Regina ID Camp (info
below). The $75 fee is included in the $225 registration fee.
FYI - Football Sask runs ID Camps across the province each spring for $75 per camp. Players can attend any and
as many ID camp as they want. Players are evaluated and ID’d for Football Sask. Elite Programs. In the past
“Performance Testing” was part of the ID camp and tests the speed, strength and power of athletes helping in the
ID process. In 2013 these tests will be separate from the ID camps and players can be tested on March 24th in
Saskatoon or April 7th in Moose Jaw. It will be $50 for “Performance testing” camp which will be run like the
NFL/CFL combine camps. To Register for these camps go to www.footballsaskatchewan.ca
