Neosho Sports Performance

A few months ago, a pilot program for speed and agility training was started for some of our young athletes. We've been pleased with the results and it is time for the next step.

Neosho Sports Performance has the objective of improving athleticism through physically and mentally ingraining correct body mechanics of movement and increasing overall athletic power. Travis Werneke is a professional trainer and questions about the program can be directed to him at traviswerneke@gmail.com; more details can be found here (Word document).

There will be a meeting at the high school track at 6:00 p.m. on June 14, 2010. It is mandatory that a parent or person representing a parent be present to get the information for this new program. This first session is free and the trainer will be doing baseline testing so that we can measure progression. Training is open to boys and girls ages 8 and up and is not limited to football participants.   

Youth sports offer opportunities for personal growth. Our young men and women learn the value of hard work, discipline, dedication and teamwork by participating in these sports. Participation also leads to self-confidence and the invaluable lessons gained by being a part of something bigger than oneself. This training will enhance those pursuits.

Please join us in welcoming Jared Schoonover as the new Head Coach of the Neosho High School football team. We have had the pleasure of getting to know Coach Schoonover during the last year and we look forward to working with him in our program and watching him put his mark on Neosho Football. To learn more about Coach Schoonover, see his interview in the Neosho Daily News here . 

 

We would like to thank Shawn Flannigan, who recently accepted the Head Coach position at Rogers, Arkansas, for his efforts in helping us build our program. Shawn and his staff spent many hours educating our Board and coaches and kids. You will be missed. Good luck, Coach!

 

 

Just ask Addison Rainwater, who recently committed to play football for M.S.S.U.

Football season is upon us.
