Stevie Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I’m doing research for a project and am unable find info about high school football in the 90’s. Does anyone remember during which month tryouts were usually held? How long was the wait to find out whether you were in or not? Also, did captains’ practices exist back then?

ATLien12x Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Tryouts were held two days before the first game in middle August. Usually on a Wednesday (unless you played in the Corky Kell, then you tried out on Thursdays) Very little wait time: in fact, If you made it through that Wednesday grind, you made the team. If you didn’t, well.. And of course. You ever see Star Trek? Captains have been around forever. Obviously they practiced, Kobayashi Maru ring a bell? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigrobstercraws Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 The decade when water breaks became mandatory! I remember faking injuries in Pop Warner in the 80s just to get some sweet H20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 This one time, in the 90's, we lost a game and had to run 20 laps the next practice. That's 5 miles. In football equipment. In September. Then practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJR89 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 in the 80"s water breaks were scarce.....Captains practice started on 7/5. 3 x times a week until we went away for 4 cessions a day at overnight camp for a week, then double cessions until school started. on top of that...if someone dogged it ....good chance practice would stop and we would run hills....huge hill at then of field......full pack...
