I know, I know, the Superbowl just ended and you're getting an email from Duck Creek Pop Warner Football and your thinking "give me a break!" Well, some of us just can't get enough football, so please bear with us............

If you are a coach or are interested in coaching, please continue reading, there is a coaches clinic that may be of interest. The Duck Creek Pop Warner League strives maintain a positive environment for our players. One way to do that is to make sure our all-volunteer coaching staff is prepared to meet the needs of our players and that's why I'm emailing you this message.

The Gridiron Coaches clinic will be put on at Appleton North High School on Wednesday, March 7th 6-9 pm. Keynote speakers are Winston Moss, Packers assistant head coach; Bill Collar, motivation; and Scott Dalchow, Theda Care sports medicine. Position fundamental drills will be demonstrated after speeches. $20 in advance; $30 at door. Contact Matt Hechel, 920-450-8364 /

Because the Duck Creek Pop Warner organization has no direct experience with the Gridiron Coaches Clinic we cannot provide a direct endorsement of this camp, but anytime interested parents and coaches have an opportunity to participate in events like this, it only helps the overall organization. If you do participate, please let us know how this event went so we can determine if this is something we should endorse in the future.

This notice is a little early, but during the month of May, the Aluminum cans collected at the Howard Town Hall will go towards the Duck Creek Pop Warner Leauge.

So, start crushing your cans and saving them for this fundraiser during the month of May.
