Travel and other details for Aug. 21 Scrimmage at Cedarburg HS

On Saturday Aug. 21, the 7th grade Junior Blue Dukes will scrimmage from 10 a.m. to noon at Cedarburg High School. Several teams will participate. These are controlled scrimmages, with plenty of time for coaches to stop the action for correction and instruction.
What to wear: Coach Joe Wieland asks that boys wear blue practice jerseys as well as the blue game pants they received. Blue practice jerseys can be purchased for $15 from the coaches; these funds support the football program. Also, bring plenty of water and other football-friendly liquids.
Caravans: Families are free to drive themselves to Cedarburg. But people who would like to caravan or car-pool should meet in the Lydell parking lot (our practice field). Per Coach Wieland, the caravan will leave at 8:30 a.m. sharp from the parking lot. (If you are driving yourself, plan to get to Cedarburg 9 a.m. or not long thereafter.)

Parents may want to bring folding chairs or camp chairs. This is an informal situation.
For families that are new, here is a video clip from last season's Cedarburg scrimmage (with music added, apologies if you're a purist and hate that sort of thing):
