Rochester John Marshall High School Athletics

The 2020 JM Football Captain's are leading Captain's practice weekdays at 9:00 a.m. at JM practice fields for athletes going into grades 9-12.  Bring your own water bottle. Athletes should keep an eye on their Hudl alerts for last minute changes in dates and times.  If you are a JM Football athlete and do not have a Hudl account, please email us your name, grade this fall and email address and we will get you set up.

Summer SAQ - Strength, Agility, Quickness training for athletes in grades 9-12 is scheduled to start July 6th and continue through August 14th. SAQ will be Monday-Thursday and you must be registered and signed up for a specific training time to participate, 7:00-8:00 am, 8:15-9:15 am, 9:30-10:30 am and 10:45-11:45 am. Register online through the JM Activities website. Summer SAQ cost is $60. Participation in SAQ is not a requirement for participation in the fall JM Football season. See the JM Activities website for additional SAQ participation instructions and requirements. Remember to bring your own water bottle.

Registration for the 2020 Fall Football Season for athletes in grades 8-12 will be open July 1st - August 10th.  Please see the John Marshall Activities Registration website for additional information and the online registration link. Registration cost is $215. A current sports physical must be on record in the JM Activities office or you will not be able to register. Physicals can be emailed to Kim Griffin in the JM Activties office. kigriffin@isd535.org  You must be registered by August 10th to participate in the first day of practice on August 17th.

7th grade football athletes must register through Rochester Community Education at www.rochesterce.org/register, Course code 4400.101JA for Rocket Football.  7th grade athletes should email their completed sports physical to Kim Griffin in the JM Activities office.  kigriffin@isd535.org  Registration cost is $190. 7th grade athletes must provide their own helmet, shoulder pads, cleats and mouth guard. 7th grade football will provide team girdles, pants and jerseys.

Sports physicals must be current through the entire fall season in order to register.  Details and options for getting sports physicals and how to find your physical date in Skyward are available on the JM Activities website. Get your physical early so your registration and participation are not delayed. 

The plan was to have a 2 week camp starting June 8th. Considering the governor issued guidelines we needed to follow for camp (only have 10 people together and must be 6 feet a part), we would not have had a very good camp if we kept it as originally scheduled.

Fortunately, the MSHSL has changed the summer football contact rules and we can now have camp up until August 7th.  Therefore, the June camp has been tentatively rescheduled for July 27th - August 7th.  Depending on what the schools and government allows, however, we are NOT guaranteed that we will even be able to do that. (Equipment handout will follow camp on July 27th.)

The best I can do is say, "Believe" and take care.
