Tonight’s Youth Football Skills & Drills has been postponed due to rain and rescheduled for Monday, August 3, at 5:00 PM. We hope everyone can make it! We also have some exciting news! Thanks to the support of our HS Football team, we were able to get Youth Football Skills & Drills camp shirts for every participant who attended at least one session. We’ll hand out the shirts on Monday. If you’re unable to make it, don’t worry—we’ll make sure you receive yours on the first day of school. We can’t wait to see everyone on Monday! 🏈🐾

Yearbooks are Here!

This morning, LDNE hosted a 5v5 Passing Camp! 🏈 A big thank you to Pender and Winnebago High Schools for making the trip and helping make it a great morning of competition and development. We appreciate everyone who participated and look forward to seeing all of our athletes continue to improve this season. Best of luck to everyone this fall! #GoCougars #5v5Football #SummerWork #LDNE

Due to the state’s player safety guidelines regarding the heat and humidity, today’s Youth Football Skills & Drills session has been canceled. Tomorrow will be our final Skills & Drills session, and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone back at the field! Stay safe, stay hydrated, and we’ll see you all tomorrow! 🏈

🏈 Day 3 is here! 🏈 We’re halfway through our 5-Day Youth Football Skills & Drills Camp, and we’ve had an awesome turnout so far! If you haven’t made it out yet, there’s still time to join us. We’ll be back on the field today at 5:00 PM for another evening of learning, competition, and fun. We can’t wait to see everyone out there! Go Cougars! 🐾💪
