Players Volunteer in Joplin

6 Members of the Miller Football Program gave up a Wednesday of their summer vacation to assist at a distribution center in Joplin. The warehouse is full of goods that are still coming in to assist the victims of the May 22 twister. The guys job was to organize the goods on to different palletts according to category. After that they wrapped them and the fork lift carries them to a place in the warehouse until they are needed. In the picture are Chance Taylor, Cole Duncan, Brock Duncan, Stewart Parnell, Dalton Glick, and Brenden Richardson.

CHAMPIONSHIP TRAINING

Starts Monday May 30th at 7AM!! Come be a part of something special!

Miller Cardinal Football Summer 2011

Championship Training will begin on May 30, 2011. It will run from 7AM – 830AM on Monday – Thursday. The weight room is also open on Fridays 7-8AM for those that missed a day or want to get ahead. Students-athletes will work on improving their speed, agility, and strength while also learning the value of discipline, hard work, and team building. I can’t wait for another great summer for our Miller athletes. All athletes are welcome. Two years ago we started and “Iron Cardinal” program. We have seen tremendous benefits come from the hard work we have put in. An athlete must complete 31 workouts. The weight room will be open approximately 45 days this summer. Those reaching 31 become an “Iron Cardinal” and will receive a shirt as well as have their picture taken to be hung on the weight room wall. The Miller Cardinals are 21-5 in the last two seasons and have produced 8 All-State players in that time span along with over 30 all-conference players. Miller is 20-1 in the SRVC in the last 3 seasons and the target will be on our back again next year. We will welcome the challenge to be better everyday! There are various camps and 7 on 7 / lineman challenge’s scheduled for this summer as well. For a complete schedule of Miller’s Summer Events see coach Baldwin. The college camps are great to go to if you can. As coaches we will emphasize the importance of our Miller team events (camps and 7 on 7) more so than the college camps. Some of the events include; June 1 - Mizzou Camp at JFK 3PM $20 June 4 – 7 on 7 / Lineman Challenge @ Lockwood $3 per player June 7 – 7 on 7 @ Monett 6PM (Free) June 14 - 7 on 7 @ Monett 6PM (Free) June 18 – NEO Lineman Camp 9AM $25 June 20 – 7 on 7 @ Webb City (Free on the turf) June 27 – Lineman Camp @ MOSO 930AM-330PM ($40 one day) June 28 – Lineman Camp @ MOSO 930AM-330PM ($70 two day) June 29 - Lineman Camp @ MOSO 930AM-330PM ($100 three day) July 18 – 22 Miller Football Team Camp 6PM-830PM (Except Wednesday) July 18 – 22 Miller Cardinal Kids Camp 430 PM – 530 PM (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fr) July 25 – 29 Miller Football Team Camp 6PM-830PM (Except Wed and Fr) July 25 – 29 JH Football Camp 4 PM – 530 PM except Wednesday. 2011 can be a tremendous year for Miller Football if we make that commitment to one another and to the team. I am extremely excited! As of today there 141 days until kick off against Greenfield. GO CARDINALS!!
