Thank you to everyone who made the 2nd annual Kick Off Banquet such a great success. The raffles, auctions, and the fantastic restaurants were all a great hit. Best of all was the opportunity to get to know each other as we all work hard to support the football program. Coach Bailey was able to address the state of the program and get us all excited for the upcoming year.
We kick off the season this week playing Sonora High School Freshmen will play at Sonora High School at 3:15 Thursday. The JV will be at YLHS at 3:15 Thursday. Varsity game is played at La Habra High School (Sonora's home field) Friday night at 7:00. Come root the teams on as our tradition begins!

Attention Mustang Families!!! Our first Varsity Summer Camp is over!! It was a very productive and successful camp and I think we set the groundwork for a positive 2010 year. We now start our next step which is fall camp. We need to build of what we have accomplished, continue to grow and progress, and now learn how to do it in pads!! We have some big time challenges this year, but with hard work and dedication, we can make it a very positive year. Our goal is to get better every game, every practice, every drill!!! The calendar is updated for what we are doing for the next 2 weeks of camp. It will be a very hard and physically taxing camp and it is very important that we take care of our bodies throughout, by hydration, eating right, rehabbing bumps and bruises, and rest! Our bodies are our business and it is extremely important that we take care of them! Enjoy your weekend and come back Monday ready to work!
Go Mustangs!

ATTENTION INCOMING FRESHMEN
On behalf of Head Coach Jeff Bailey, assistant coaches, and the Yorba Linda High School Football Booster Club we would like to welcome you to Yorba Linda High School and Mustang Football 2010. After a successful first year of football and school its time for summer workouts and preparation for the 2010 YLHS Football season.
Up until now we have been restricted in any form of communication to the incoming freshmen class until after promotions have taken place at the middle schools. This rule was imposed upon high schools by the CIF-SS so there would be no undue recruiting prior to your player's advancement into high school.
Now that summer has begun we need to inform you of what is going to take place in the very near future and how you can best prepare for your exciting first season at YLHS.
- All players need to down load from the PYLUSD website, www.pylusd.org, summer camp information (unless already done) and make sure to complete and send in summer camp fee of $250.00 ASAP.
- The weight room will be open beginning Monday June 21st. It is recommended that if you are in town to attend the lifting sessions. You will learn how to properly lift and prepare yourself physically for the official start of summer ball July 12th. Check out times on the calendar portion of our web site, www.ylhsfootball.com.
- Please have your player bring a check for $50.00 to the first day of practice, July 12th, to pay for your work out clothes (2 tee shirts and (2) shorts).
- A mandatory Freshmen parent night will be held that same night, Monday July 12th at approx. 7 p.m. in the gym. You will be given a parent and player information packet, including "clearance packet" and directions, explaining the program as well as fees and fund raising. Fair share fees will be collected that evening. The Fair share fee for 2010 is $375.00 and can be paid in installments. The packet that you will receive will have a breakdown of all costs and activities.
We are excited that you will be part of this outstanding program. From having some of the best coaches in the county, and some of the best facilities found anywhere, we are sure that your experiences will be great! Should you have any questions please contact us at www.ylhsfootballbooster@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing you July 12th and GO MUSTANGS!

Attention Parents!!!
I would like to preface this letter with the fact that we are a new program and we have not established the culture and what is expected of our athletes to be a successful program. Also, I have had some questions regarding summer football camp. Because of this I wanted to send out an email to clarify what we are doing during the spring and summer, what we are trying to build, and what the expectations are from our athletes.
First of all, I am trying to teach and build not just football players, but successful young men, who will be successful citizens during high school and in the future. A big part of this is learning the values of hard work, commitment, teamwork, and discipline. The byproduct of your sons learning these character traits and being good kids is we will win some football games!!! This is one of the best things that football and our program provide our young athletes. These values learned now will shape the men they become later.
In saying that, we will start a series of practices this spring and I will need your full support in making sure that your athlete is in full attendance. Spring practice will be full practices, where we begin to introduce and teach football. I will give you a calendar of the exact dates later, but when we practice the players will be at school until 5:30ish. Spring practice will begin on May 18th. We will have 15 days of practice, concluding with a spring game and Barbeque on June 11th. At this event we love to see as many parents and family as possible. We will just lift during finals week and then we will be taking our dead period right after school gets out. Those dates are June 18th to July 11th. During this time we strongly recommend that our families use this time to take their vacation. The weight room will be open during this time and we encourage our players that if they are in town, they should show up and lift. This will help the transition into summer football and prevent some soreness that will occur from taking 3 weeks off.
On July 12th the summer program begins. Summer camp is very important, because it is where we learn how to play football and also prepare our bodies for a long season. What we will be doing this summer, will be more intense and more demanding than last summer!! We will be practicing Monday through Friday; Monday through Thursday in the afternoons and Friday’s in the morning. Attendance is extremely important so our team is prepared for our first Varsity season.
Fall practice begins on August 16th. These practices will consist of practicing twice a day for a portion of those days. We will use that time to learn the offense and defense, but also to learn how to play productively and safely with pads. During this time the season has started and there is a big time commitment!!
It is very important that you know what our football programs expectations are and to know that we care very much and want the very best for your kids. We are building a program and it is going to take a lot of hard work and commitment from the coaches, players, and parents to reach our goals. I need a great deal of trust and support from you. We have a very experienced coaching staff that has your sons best interest in mind at all times. The rewards of going through this program will be life long!!! Thank you for your time!
Go Mustangs!
