MPMS Football update:
Parents,

Starting this week, we will be moving to a new morning football schedule.

8th Grade: 6:00 AM
7th Grade: 6:45 AM

These will be our consistent morning report times moving forward. What we do each morning may vary depending on whether it is a regular practice day, game day, or recovery day.

We will not have regularly scheduled football practice after school. If athletes ever need to stay after school, that will be communicated ahead of time.

Please make sure athletes arrive early enough to be dressed and ready at their scheduled time.

Thank you for your flexibility as we transition into our regular season schedule.

Here are our Mance Park Football teams for the 2026 season.

Please note that team placement is subject to change. Encourage your athlete to stay consistent and work hard, nothing is permanent, and spots can be earned or lost.

Let’s keep getting better every day. STING EM!

If a name was left off of the rosters that does not mean the player is cut from football we simply did not get the name whenever we asked for it just have the athlete. Tell their position Coach on Monday and we will clean it up.

Information shared from Coach Johnson.
