7th and 8th Grade OMS Football
Summer Football Camp @ Otsego High School Football Field
July 25-26: 5:00-8:00 pm
Sign up through Marcia Hukill in the high school athletic department.
Back to school football camp
August 16-18 from 3:15-5:00 at the middle school practice field located behind the middle school gym.
First Day of Practice is Monday August 22. All practices are after school from 3:15-5:00 daily.
Games are typically played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 4:00.
As of right now there is no weight lifting availability this summer for middle school players. We highly encourage you to continue to workout and run on your own as much as you can. The work that you do this summer will pay off this fall in the football season.
Players will need to provide their own equipment: Helmet, shoulder pads, practice pants with pads, cleats, mouth piece.
If you are getting new equipment this year, I suggest ordering or purchasing ASAP. Last year, there was a shortage of equipment and kids had trouble getting what they needed at the end of summer.
This year, I will be communicating through our “Final Forms” system through the athletic department. If you are planning on playing football, please make sure you are registered on final forms. You will have to sign up, turn all necessary paperwork in, turn in medical physical, and pay the activity fee. All of this needs to be done before Monday August 22. Please visit the following website to get signed up for football. You can also get registered for other sports for the rest of the year as well.

IMPORTANT! Meal Charges Return for Next School Year
For the last two years, schools were able to provide free breakfast and lunch due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, free meals are ending at the end of this school year.
Starting with the 2022-23 school year, regular meal prices will be charged to student lunch accounts and the costs need to be covered by families. However, you may still qualify for free or reduced meals!
IMPORTANT DATE - JULY 1, 2022
We are asking ALL families to take a few moments and fill out the federal assistance form which is available for the upcoming school year starting on July 1, 2022. This can be filled out online or on paper. Please watch for the notices when this can begin. We will post this on our website, send it to your email and have forms available at all of our summer lunch sites.
If you have any questions, please contact Julie Guthrie, Otsego Food Service Coordinator, at jguthrie@otsegops.org or 269-694-7447.
