Friends of Grant Football is excited to announce our 2 new board members Nikki Giudice, and Chad Hoffert. Nikki fills our freshman parent position and Chad fills our Sophomore parent and both come with years of experience starting from youth football. We are grateful they answered the call to serve.
*If you are a new freshman player or parent please feel free to connect with Nikki. If she doesn’t have answers for you she can find out! nikki@farrellrealty.com
Freshman: with all that’s going on, we haven’t been able to connect with our freshman players and parents and we hope we can soon. In order to make sure new players don’t fall through the cracks please alert other potential players or parents of freshmen, to sign up to receive all the info from the team. We will be reaching out this week to those we have heard are interested in more info. Please have them google Friends of Grant Football and it will lead them to our site.
We are grateful for our new Principal James McGee, Head Coach John Beck, Chris LaCarubba (our new AD) and our District Coordinator Diallo Lewis for their tireless efforts in trying to get the athletes some sort of workouts going. They really are talking to and doing everything they can on the behalf of the kids. We are very lucky to have them.
We will hopefully all be seeing each other soon!
Go Generals,
Karmen von Arx
