The Football Booster Club is a non-profit organization that is instrumental in raising funds to support the football program.  Because of CISD budget cuts, it is critical that the booster club helps support the football program financially. Your membership contribution helps better prepare each player and coach with the finest and safest training, knowledge, and equipment and the latest technological advances available. Funds generated by the Booster club insure that playing in the Coppell football program is a rewarding experience for the players from the varsity level down to the middle schools.

 

vv    Practice Schedule

The first day of practice will be Monday, August 13.  Practice dates and times will be provided at the Parents’ Meeting and on our web site as soon as it is available to us.

Display COWBOY PRIDE by placing a sign in your yard. Freshmen signs are corrugated vinyl ($20) and will be available at the Parents’ Meeting.  JV and Varsity signs are metal signs with the player’s last name and number on them, and are available to order for $50 (or $15 for the “upgrade option” for varsity players who already have a JV sign).

vv    Gridiron Films 2007 Season Documentary

Gridiron Films will once again be capturing the Cowboy’s season on film. From summer workouts to practices, from pep rallies to halftime pep talks, to interviews and beyond, the team’s season will be documented on film. The triumphs and the tragedies, the sweat and the tears, the camaraderie and the memories—all are captured on one DVD.  This unique opportunity is a chance to preserve a tremendous time in these young men’s lives.  We have met with Gridiron Films to improve the current format for the recruiting films by adding an introductory personal interview with the player and to edit out irrelevant plays during the full game portion of the video. Come meet the Gridiron Films representatives at the Parents’Meeting.
