Snappy Spartan: Simley Football Camp

Hello from the Snappy Spartan! I am new in town and will be capturing images of Inver Grove Heights, South St. Paul, and places beyond.

Football Camp got in full swing this week from July 9-11th. At least the heat dropped a little, but there was lots of sweat, water bottles and hard-working players out on the field! The Simley Spartans are preparing for another great year of football in 2012-13.

Coach Rex King closed camp by talking to the kids about what it the word "coach" means. He told the kids, it comes from the old west term "stagecoach." And what did a stagecoach do, he asked? A coach carries the team. He is there to guide them to success and he expects his players to come to him, whatever their need, whether it's something at home, homework or a social problem at school. He is there for them and wants them to lean on him for thier support and success!

I'll be there shooting and cheering the team on again this year! See you in the fall for kick off. Go Simley Spartans!!!
