A Comment from our President, Randy Hall
Thank you for taking the time to visit our Bruin web site. I’d
like to take a few minutes to explain who we are …
Founded in 2001 as the Howard County Bruins Youth Football Team, our charter
was to provide a place where players who couldn’t participate in other youth programs, because of weight restrictions,
had a place to play organized tackle football. As an unlimited weight program we have no weigh-ins, but
do have a recommend minimum weight of 125 pounds. Our players consist of 5th, 6th,
7th and 8th graders. Although high school players are not allowed to play due to
league rules, we do follow high school federation official rules. We have been able to maintain enough
registration to support varsity and junior varsity squads. The varsity team generally consists of the older
and more experienced players, while the junior varsity team consists of the younger or less experienced players who may require
more instruction. We typically have
a ten game schedule, with post-season play. We practice and play our home games at Long Reach High School
in Howard County, Maryland. Our first day of official practice is August 1st, but we have four
unofficial pre-season practices for conditioning drills. Practices are from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday until school starts. Once school starts, we practice three nights a week to practice skills
and prepare for our weekend game. Games are played on the weekends, with our home games being played on
Sundays.
Our experienced
staff takes pride in positively motivating and mentoring these young players. As we prepare them for the
next level of play, we want them to become not only skilled football players, but to also respect the importance of being
a team player. We emphasize teaching character traits such as sportsmanship, responsibility and good citizenship
within the community.
As we look forward to 2009, we have many challenges. As a whole we want to grow and be
an elite program that impacts the youth of Howard County. Our varsity team needs to defend its first MUYFA
Championship. It will be a challenge that we are ready to take on. Due to a limited
number of returning varsity players, we are focusing on rebuilding and strengthening our program. We hope
the influx of new families will make that happen. So good luck to all - may we rise to the occasion and
have another successful season.
Sincerely,
Randy
Hall President
and Head Coach Howard
