Equipment Fitting for Grades 2-8

The Scarborough Football Club is facilitating equipment fitting for all of our Youth and Junior Red Storm players. The fitting process consists of two fittings. The first fitting will be very quick [5-10 minutes] to determine what size shoulder pads and helmet your athlete should be wearing. You will be able to order the equipment at the fitting and once our order is received by Riddell (2-3 weeks), we will schedule the Riddell rep. to come back for a second longer fitting [10-15 minutes] and make sure everything fits your athlete properly and make adjustments for comfort and safety. You will be able to place your order at the fitting session. If you plan to order equipment at the fitting session, please plan to bring a check with you to the session.  

Date: Thursday, July 22^nd
Time: 5pm – 8pm
Location:  High School “lower lobby” and HS Athletic Training room #G005.

For more information about Riddell equipment you can look here http://www.riddell.com/ .
Contact the Scarborough Football Club’s Youth coordinator, Andy Cusson at acusson@maine.rr.com or 595.2142 if you have any questions.

In addition to shoulder pads and helmets, your athletes will need additional equipment to be ready for practices. The full list of equipment can be found on the  Youth and Jr Red Storm pages.   Places like Sports Authority, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Olympia all have the additional items on the list, many of them are rolling out their fall sports equipment already and many have sales/discounts/coupons prior to the season.

National Underclassman Combine Results

Scarborough Community Services and the Scarborough Football Club jointly hosted Schuman’s National Underclassman Combine (NUC), May 15th and 16th.   The event was held in the Scarborough Sports Complex and was attended by student athletes from the state of Maine and neighboring states.   This was an exciting day for Scarborough and will have a positive impact for years to come.  

46 student athletes came, did their best and began the process of getting recruitment exposure.  Of those 46, 11 were from Scarborough, in grades 8-11.  For many of the 46, it was their first time competing in a Combine.   They now know where they stand as compared to others nation wide.     Results of the Combine are posted and can be looked at on the NUC website:   http://nationalunderclassmen.com/results2010.html  (scroll down to Maine).   

Michael Cyr, Logan Mars, and Ryan Jamison were all MVPs of the day, being listed in NUC’s American Top Prospects.  Logan and Michael received the Leadership award in their respective sessions and are mentioned in ESPN’s writeup of the day.  (Didn’t I mention ESPN was here at the event??)   Read the complete article on ESPN’s website: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5195800

It was a fabulous day for all involved.   The enthusiasm was quite high and we’re all (SFC and NUC) looking forward to making this an annual event!
