Happy New Year! We hope that everyone had a safe and relaxing break! 

The 2023 Off-Season will begin on Monday, January 9, 2023. We want to allow everyone the opportunity to transition back to the routine of school this week before we officially start our off-season. 

Workouts

• Who: Anyone planning on playing football in fall 2023 and NOT currently enrolled in Personal Fitness or participating in a Winter sport for Chantilly HS
• What: Strength Training Sessions
• When: Monday/Wednesday/Friday 3:10 pm-4:15 pm
• Where: Chantilly HS weight room
• Why: A year-long commitment to strength training is necessary for all athletes who wish to be competitive as individuals and as a program.  

Off-Season Plans

Our off-season will begin solely with a focus on strength training. The expectation is that all athletes not in Personal Fitness or playing a winter sport for Chantilly attend all three sessions a week. Although the season seems far off, success in the fall requires year-round commitment and slow, steady, consistent progress. Successful teams train hard and together year-round. Sessions are Monday/Wednesday/Friday 3:10-4:10. Competitive programs do not simply show up in the summer and hope for the best. A strong strength program is only the first step to success in the fall, but it is essential. Attendance will be taken each session and tracked throughout the off-season. Please see below for information regarding our off-season point system. 

Enrolling in Personal Fitness is the easiest way to strength train consistently and with teammates. Since 2018, we have averaged over 90% enrollment in PFit with eligible football players(sophomores through seniors). There is a direct correlation between success on the field since 2019 and the increase in football player enrollment in PFit. 

We will eventually begin our ELITE Club leadership/culture meetings, and in the spring, we will conduct off-season practices ("Green Days") and attend a camp in June. We will share more details about Green Days and our camps in the coming months. 

Off-Season Point System 

Please take a moment to review our Off-Season Point System. We established these criteria following the 2017 season to further incentivize participation in off-season activities. However, we have been fortunate that most of our athletes have been intrinsically motivated to do well in recent years; therefore, the leaderboard only served as an additional form of healthy competition and accountability. 

The concept is simple: do right and earn points. Outside of losing points for negative behaviors, this system is based entirely on rewarding positive behaviors, not punishing negative behaviors. Over the years, several athletes have provided feedback regarding incentives/rewards, and that has helped shape the criterion. The most frequently identified incentive was the selection of equipment and jersey numbers; therefore, among other rewards and recognition throughout the off-season, the top point earners will have the first choice of equipment and jersey numbers.

There are plenty of opportunities to rise (or fall) on the leaderboard throughout the off-season. Please find the Scoring Criteria here.

Thank You, SENIORS!

Families and athletes in the class of 2023, thank you for the support, passion, and dedication you have continually demonstrated over the past four years! You made many contributions on and off the field, and we will miss you! This blast will be the last sent via the Remind Text system to those families in the 2023 class. If you have younger football players, please elect to receive alerts for their corresponding class.

As always, thank you for your continued support of Chantilly Football!

Good Morning!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Our program-wide banquet (all grades 9-12) will be held on December 14, 2022.  

We will celebrate the season's accomplishments and give the class of 2023 a warm send-off. Additionally, a portion of the banquet will be dedicated to sharing information regarding the upcoming season--including the very important off-season--so we hope to have all grade levels and parents/guardians in attendance. The Off-Season will officially begin in January.

More information regarding location and time to follow. 

As always, thank you for your continued support of Chantilly Football!

Congratulations to the following members of the program for being recognized as All-Region:

First Team

• Liam Turner, Offensive Line
• Garrett Robertson, Wide Receiver
• Garrett Robertson, Defensive Back

Second Team

• Jake Madaj, Running Back
• Kevin Gajewski, Linebacker
• Jayden Oh, Punter

Good Evening:

This is always the hardest update to send: end-of-season information. We are incredibly proud of the effort given by the 2022 Chantilly Chargers. The senior class selflessly led the program with tenacity and pride. Leadership isn't easy, but the young men in the class of 2023 took the challenge head-on and helped the program do what many did not think was possible, earn the right to play in Week 11. The class of 2023 has been a part of four straight playoff appearances, a Region Championship appearance, a 3-1 record vs "The Team West Down 50", and, more importantly, demonstrated that "WE football" is far greater than "me" football. Thank you, seniors: you will be missed. I am proud to welcome you to the fraternity that is Tilly Football alumni. 

Immediately after school tomorrow, Monday, November 14, we will have a final team meeting and collect all issued equipment. All players who have not yet turned in equipment/participated in the playoff game should plan on attending. We will work quickly to collect and dismiss. Please see previous blasts for more details.

• Plan to return all issued equipment: helmet, shoulder pads, lock, jerseys, pants, belts, etc. 

Players should bring a bag to gather their personal belongings. We WILL DISCARD anything left behind. The wrestling team deserves a clean team room, so please plan on staying until you are checked out by a coach. I will collect the helmets and shoulder pads during Personal Fitness to accelerate the process. 

We hate to conclude the 2022 season, but all great things must come to an end. It has been an honor. 

As always, thank you for your continued support of Chantilly Football.

Good Afternoon:

Tomorrow's game at Centreville has been moved up to 6 pm. 

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly Football!

Good Evening:

The team meal has been moved up to tomorrow, Wednesday, November 9, due to the potential impact of the storm hitting the area on Friday. Our team of incredible Team Moms has worked hard to move the team meal to tomorrow evening, but they need help! PLEASE volunteer using this sign-up link.  

Currently, the game is still scheduled for 7 PM Friday at Centreville. 

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly Football! 

Good Evening:

The boys have earned a right to play in week 11! We are very proud of the young men's resilience throughout the season. They have embodied the program's values throughout the year, focused on what they can control, and have embodied our core values of Competitive Excellence, the Power of Fraternity, and Relentless Effort. 

Congratulations to our Head Freshmen Coach, Tyler Evans, on his wedding this past weekend! We wish you and  Mrs. Coach Evans the best!

Monday: as Coach Evans and Jones shared on Thursday, freshmen equipment collection will take place after school. All items must be returned.

Tuesday: No school; practice will be held at 8:30 am. 

Friday- Varsity travels to Centreville.

Again, we have been asked to seek volunteers. We were drastically understaffed for last week's ticket takers. Please consider volunteering to work the gate, especially if you are the parent/guardian of a freshman or sophomore. Activities' staff had to work tickets, thus creating shortages/issues elsewhere. 

***VOLUNTEER HERE***

Please see below (last week's blast) for information regarding end-of-season procedures and expectations:

End-of-Season Information

The season has flown by, so here are some details regarding end-of-season procedures for your planning purposes. 

Should we make the playoffs, athletes do not need/cannot attend tryouts for winter sports while participating in another season. Per state and FCPS policy, accommodations will be made for athletes who wish to participate in winter sports upon the conclusion of our season. 

• Uniforms and equipment must be turned in by those who will not be on the playoff roster.
• All belongings must be cleaned out of lockers.
• We will have to issue Financial obligations for missing equipment/cloth. We've issued every player approximately $1,000 worth of gear.
• ATHLETES must turn in their equipment; we cannot credit an athlete with the return of gear left in the locker room. 
• PLEASE NOTE: we cannot hold onto personal belongings! After a week, we will discard unclaimed items left behind.

For Varsity/Developmental:

Following the conclusion of the varsity season (whenever that may be), we will have a final meeting the following Monday afternoon. That will include locker cleanout, equipment return, awards voting, etc. 

Freshmen

Freshmen will clean out lockers/return equipment immediately following their final game. 

Banquet

A program-wide banquet will take place in December. All members of the program are encouraged to attend. Not only is it a celebration, but for families of underclassmen, we also share important information regarding the off-season.

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly football!

Good Afternoon:

Tomorrow, 10/28, is an early release day; the freshmen team will be off (no practice, film, or lifting) and should leave school at the end of the school day. The varsity team will follow normal game day protocol in the afternoon.  

Monday is a teacher workday:

• Varsity and Developmental teams will practice at 10 am.

VOLUNTEER HERE

We also need a chain crew for both games. That has been added to the sign-up. 

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly Football! 

Good Evening:

Reminder, developmental players will attend practice tomorrow afternoon. We will dismiss them from practice at 4:45, so they can have a chance to eat something before traveling to Robinson. Players who can't leave and come back should plan on bringing something small to eat between practice and the game.

The busses are expected at 6 pm. Players should be in the locker room ready to travel by 5:50.

Buttons and Team Ties

Thanks to our team mothers, we have headshot buttons available for purchase. There are also Chantilly neckties available for purchase ($20). The ties will be available during our team meal on Thursday night. Freshmen are also encouraged to purchase to show some Tilly pride! Thanks to Doherty Plumbing, all proceeds will benefit Chantilly football!

Good Afternoon!

This week's blast:

• Schedule Change
• Sponsor/Fundraising Update
• Picture Information
• Volunteerism

Important Schedule Change:

This week the Freshmen and Developmental games will be played at Robinson on Wednesday due to Robinson's Back to School Night. Frosh starts at 5:30, and Developmental starts moments after the game ends. 

Sponsorship Opportunities:

The window to sponsor the program will extend through 9/17

Do you know a business owner who would like to who'd like to sponsor Chantilly football? Please share this information with them! Their sponsorship is more than "just" a donation. We will share their company information on various printed materials, thank them at home games over the PA, and share their company's information on our social media pages!

• If an athlete procures $1,000 or more in sponsorships, he may opt-out of the card fundraiser altogether!

Donation Site:

We hate asking for handouts, but if you have family and friends who'd like to support Chantilly Football, please share our donation page with them! 

Card Sales

The card fundraiser will extend through this week. All physical cards must be sold and accounted for or returned.  Please return funds in an envelope or baggy with the player's name clearly labeled. Thank you!

Have a great week!

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly Football!

Happy Labor Day.

We received another email about being short volunteers for home freshmen/Developmental games.

Please consider taking a game or two. Parents/guardians of all grade levels can volunteer for any position. Sign-Up here.

Thank you!

Good Morning!

We hope everyone is enjoying Labor Day weekend! Thank you to everyone who came out Thursday night to cheer on the squad! The young men overcame several challenging circumstances leading up to the game- a short week for prep- ended practice early Monday due to home field hockey games, indoor practice Tuesday, and even a fire alarm during the team meal/uniform distribution! Our practice jerseys say DMGB-"Doesn't matter; get better"- for a reason! 

DMGB to the tune of 42-0!

Reminders:

Labor Day

• Practice 8-11 am for all sophomores through seniors. 
• Freshmen off

Games

Freshmen and Developmental teams will host WL on Thursday night at CHS!

Volunteer here. 

Fundraising

Fundraising is a necessary evil. Unfortunately, a small portion of the program has been carrying the load thus far. As we previously shared, each athlete's goal is to bring in $500 through fundraising efforts. We are not suggesting that families need to or should contribute that much themselves. 

We have several options to contribute:

Donations

• • Our online donation site; 100% of the proceeds go to the program.
  • Cash or check donations made out to Chantilly HS memo football. 
  • If you do not have friends and family who can contribute to the effort through this site, see below for a traditional "get out in the community and sell stuff" fundraiser we all know and love!  

Coupon Card Sales

• This is a traditional fundraiser. Robinson's football team, a comparable program, raised almost $30,000 using this fundraiser with the same company. 
• We keep 80% of the money raised. 
• This is an excellent option for those who do not have family or friends who can donate directly to the program via the donation site. 
• 126 players have signed up for the fundraiser; 57 have sold 0 cards. 
• Of the 57, only nine have contributed to the donation fundraiser. 
• Nearly 40% of the athletes in our program have not contributed. 
• We want to avoid having a fundraiser blitz day. Please get out and sell...and let us not speak of fundraising again...until next year :)

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly Football!

Good Afternoon!

THE DEVELOPMENTAL SCRIMMAGE IS CANCELED! 

Unfortunately, Falls Church called today and said they do not have the numbers to play a Developmental scrimmage tomorrow night. So the sophomores and juniors who would have traveled will stay the entire practice rather than get dismissed early.

Freshmen

Freshmen should report to the team locker room ASAP after school. The buses will aim to leave by 4 pm. You are encouraged to pack extra water and a healthy snack/meal. Don't forget your practice jersey.

Varsity/Developmental

• We will follow our usual practice schedule Monday through Wednesday this week. 
• Get to Ms. Bishop early if you need treatment. 
• Our team moms are working to organize a team meal for Wednesday night. With a short week, our athletes must get out to practice ASAP.
• Game Day will be Thursday due to the holiday. 
• We will share the dress list by Wednesday so players will know their status prior to Thursday
• Please see our Dress Code for game-day attire. 

Sign-Up Genius for Volunteer Opportunities 

We need your help! Our team parents have created this Sign-Up Genius so that you can get involved!

Labor Day Weekend

Our schedule has been posted for some time, but if you need a reminder, please see page 2!

Good Morning:

Please see below for information about the fundraiser and tonight's meeting. We all want the meeting to be quick, so please download the app before the meeting! 

Our fundraiser card sale is a "hybrid" effort; we will have some traditional, physical cards that can be sold, and we will also have a virtual option. The card/discounts are the same. The discounts can be found here.

The card includes brands/companies/services that are available nationwide, so family and friends across the country can support the program and actually benefit from the purchase. :)

Whether selling physical, virtual, or both, players need to download the app to track their progress. Instructions for doing so can be found here.  Please download the app before the meeting. 

The online donations page is also a great way for friends and family to both support and learn about the program.

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly football!

Good Afternoon:

There will be a brief meeting tomorrow night to start our fundraiser.

• What: Fundraiser Kickoff Event. Our Spirit Fundraising rep will distribute the physical cards to sell, and he will provide instructions for using the App.
• Who: All football players, regardless of grade (freshmen through seniors). Parents are welcome to join but not required.
• When: After practice (6:10-6:30)
• Where: CHS Cafeteria
• Why: This is the main fundraiser for the program

Instructions for joining the APP will be shared via Schoology.

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly Football!

Please see below from Falls Church regarding parking. Our freshmen and Developmental scrimmage there on Monday, August 29.

Falls Church is currently under renovations and our parking situation is not ideal. Please notify your buses, coaches, and parents.

1^st picture: FCHS Athletic Bus Parking—Buses will have to make a right turn onto the service road coming from Route 50 and drive down to Providence Rec Center to turn around and park along the curb (marked by a red box and red line along curbs). Buses can stay there but that is where teams will be dropped off and picked up. There is no space for a bus to turn around in the parking lot!

2^nd picture: Athletics Parking—Red boxes are where parking is allowed on campus as well as street parking. Blue arrows are where the stadium and gym lobby entrances are. Parents/athletes who park on the street or close to Door #1 will have to walk around the building to enter the gym or stadium. Do not park at Providence Rec—towing enforced

Click here for the picture.

Good Morning!

We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! With school beginning this week, we have a few reminders:

Practice

• Practices are held every day, 3:30-6 pm.
• Players are expected to attend every session.
• Varsity will conduct film sessions multiple times during the week and following games. This is considered practice; attendance is required.
  • As long as we can remain productive and efficient, these sessions will be conducted virtually via Zoom
  • Game prep sessions are held in the evening during the week
  • Post-game film sessions are held at 9 am on Saturdays.
• After three missed practices, we will evaluate a player's standing with the program. Consequences can include being held out of games and/or removal from the program for the season. Don't miss practice.

Volunteerism

"It takes a village!" Please consider getting involved with the program in a variety of ways. Thank you to the folks who have already volunteered; we will be in touch shortly to confirm your availability. We need help at all levels!

The Start of School 

• Be prepared and on time for each class; you represent your family, the program, and yourself. Do it well!
• EAT! Eat breakfast, and bring a small healthy meal/snack (or two) to eat during the day.
• Hydrate!
• If you have Personal Fitness (which if you are a sophomore, junior, or senior, you should :)) be prepared to lift every day, including day 1!
• Enjoy it! Time flies, make the most of your experiences.

Picture Day

We received the following from our Activities Office about purchasing pictures:

Coaches, thank you all for helping to make picture day move smoothly. I appreciate your teams being on time, organized, and patient. Moving forward, they will edit and organize the photos and then send us a link in about a week's time. Please let your parents know that it will be about a week until they have pictures ready to purchase.

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly Football!

Good Afternoon:

We will not have our fundraising blitz day tomorrow; our representative with the company has not yet received the coupon cards. We will start the fundraiser sometime next week and extend it over the course of the next few weeks.

Players will be dismissed for the day after pictures.

Mr. Ford, from the activities office, shared that the photographer will take orders after the pictures have been taken. It is apparently done online. 

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly Football. 

Good Evening:

This week is a busy week for the program. We will welcome freshmen to the program on Monday, the activities office will host a parent meeting on Wednesday, the varsity team will have a second scrimmage on Thursday, and Saturday will be team picture day and our fundraiser blitz day. 

Freshmen

Please report to door 10 at 3:30 (across from the tennis courts) to meet Coach Evans and Coach Jones for check-in. Freshmen will practice 3:30-6 pm Monday through Friday this week. Pictures and our fundraiser blitz day will be held on Saturday, including our freshmen. 

Varsity

Reminder, those needing treatment must report to the athletic training room by 2 pm to see Ms. Bishop. The Purple group will lift Monday and Wednesday at 2:30. Please be ready to enter the weight room by 2:30. The locker room will open at 2. Practice will run 3-6 pm.

When school begins for students, all levels will practice 3:30-6 pm

Activities Office Meeting

Mr. Bowerman, our Director of Student Activities, is hosting a parent meeting on Wednesday, August 17, at 7 pm in the auditorium. In addition, there will be sport-specific breakout meetings immediately after the general session.

Volunteerism

Please take a moment to review opportunities to support the program.  We have several needs each year, ranging from the Chain gang to team meals. Thank you!

Picture Day and Fundraiser Blitz Day

Players should report to school on Saturday no later than 7:55 am for team pictures. Following team pictures, we will have our card sale "blitz" around the community. Players will be grouped and assigned different areas. We will likely need several volunteers to help shuttle the players to their designated areas. 

Sponsorship Opportunities:

Do you know a business owner who would like to who'd like to sponsor Chantilly football? Please share this information with them! Their sponsorship is more than "just" a donation. We will share their company information on various printed materials, thank them at home games over the PA, and share their company's information on our social media pages!

• If an athlete procures $1,000 or more in sponsorships, he may opt-out of the card fundraiser altogether!
• The window to sponsor the program will close on 8/20!

Donation Site:

We hate asking for handouts, but if you have family and friends who'd like to support Chantilly Football, please share our donation page with them! 

Spirit Pack

It appears as though our spirit pack is not showing up on MySchoolBucks. Please feel free to use our donation site to make an online payment. You may also pay with cash or check (made to Chantilly HS). The amount is $50. 

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly football!

Good Afternoon!

Please consider joining us tomorrow at 10 am for our Annual Purple-White Scrimmage. In addition to the first glimpse of the 2022 Chargers, we will have spirit wear and jerseys available for purchase! 

Players must report by 8:30 for locker assignments and a walkthrough practice. 

Our newest members of the varsity program will be getting the majority of the reps during the scrimmage, so come on out and support the Chargers!

Thank you!

Good Afternoon!

The time has come! Tomorrow, August 1, is the first day of official practice for the varsity program (sophomores, juniors, and seniors)! Please see below for essential program updates:

CHS Football Updates (All Levels)

Paperwork/RSchool

All athletes must complete paperwork and RSchool registration before the start of practice! PLEASE NOTE YOU CAN NOT PARTICIPATE until all the requirements are met. Please review previous blasts for more information. 

Missing practice due to paperwork is considered an Unexcused Absence. Additionally, football requires a five-day acclimation period (three days of helmets only, followed by two days of helmets and shoulder pads) before a player may participate in competition. Therefore, missing a day this week will preclude participation in the Purple-White game. Additionally, missing two days will prevent an athlete from participating in our first scrimmage against Fairfax.

Spirit Pack

The spirit pack is $50. It consists of a new practice jersey, a compression shirt worn on gamedays, and a mouthguard. 

• Practice jerseys and mouthguards will be issued on the first day of practice. Many players have already received their mouthguards. 
• Payment can be made via Myschoolbucks or cash or check. Please make checks out to CHS and include your athlete's name on the memo line. 

We have worked hard to keep the cost down for families. For example, both South County and Westfield shared their information via social media, and their respective compression shirts were $38. 

Please reach out to Coach Curry if payment is an issue. 

Fundraisers

The goal for each athlete is to bring in at least $500 through fundraising efforts.

Discount Cards:

 The discount card fundraiser will be held throughout August. Once we receive the cards, athletes can sell them in advance of our "Blitz Day." If an athlete sells all their cards before 8/20, he may opt-out of participating in the blitz.

Sponsorship Opportunities:

Do you know a business owner who would like to who'd like to sponsor Chantilly football? Please share this information with them! Their sponsorship is more than "just" a donation. We will share their company information on various printed materials, thank them at home games over the PA, and share their company's information on our social media pages!

• If an athlete procures $1,000 or more in sponsorships, he may opt-out of the card fundraiser altogether!
• The window to sponsor the program will close on 8/20!

Donation Site:

We have had tremendous success over the years using two different fundraising companies to solicit donations from family and friends. It is a simple concept: players bring in 20 email addresses/cell numbers of family and friends. The companies would help get email addresses and cell phone numbers loaded into their system, and they would blast our information using automated emails and text messages. It was efficient and effective. 

The downside was they kept up to 25% of the proceeds for essentially creating a distribution list. 

We decided to drop the generic site and tasteless automated text/email messages and created our own personalized site where 100% of the donation goes to the program. We hate asking for handouts, but if you have family and friends who'd like to support Chantilly Football, please share our donation page with them! 

Freshmen Notes

• Freshmen are "off" until their first official day, 8/15. Enjoy the time off!

To help supplement our income, we are once again looking for program sponsors. We had tremendous success with this initiative in 2019 and hope to do even better this season.

Save the Date!

Catch the first glimpse of the 2022 Chargers during our Purple-White game on August 6! We hope to return to a festive atmosphere offering concessions, selling team gear, etc., all proceeds benefit the program. 

Changes to Dates

1. Pictures and the fundraising blitz day are scheduled for August 20 for freshmen and varsity/developmental teams.  
2. The Freshmen and Developmental scrimmages vs. Falls Church have been moved to Monday, 8/29, due to Falls Church's Back-to-School-Night. 

As always, thank you for your support of Chantilly Football!
