Athletic Director Interim Structure
Athletic Department Transition Update
May 7, 2010
As a follow up to the announcement of the change in Athletic Director for Heritage , I want to provide an update on the day to day and interim structure for the remainder of May for the Athletic Department. I have met with Drew Riddick and Michelle York to determine a workable and manageable plan for handling the many responsibilities of the athletic department, as we work to hire a new Athletic Director. Michelle will be the point person for the Athletic Department. She is working directly with Drew to transition key information related to the High School programs and overarching departmental responsibilities. Drew will be available via email and phone for questions during the transition, but please copy Michelle on all emails. Drew will be available onsite on a limited basis at Heritage in May and June.
To address the need for additional support and onsite assistance during this interim period, Elizabeth Allen will be working in the Athletic Department through the end of the school year. Elizabeth will be handling most of the day to day needs of the Middle School athletic programs and working out of Drew’s office. She will also be helping to finalize the revised Athletic Handbook and the Athlete and Parent Code of Conduct.
For athletic event game day/night management, additional support will be provided by various Heritage personnel. The key people will be Michelle, Sherman and Sandy.
We will continue to communicate and update you as we move through the next few weeks on the progress of the Athletic Director search and on any changes or modifications to the interim structure.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support of HCS athletics and the athletic staff during this transition period.
Please contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Gary Boram
Interim Operations Administrator and
Director of Business and Finance

Summer Workout Schedule Announced!
HERITAGE CHRISTIAN FOOTBALL - SUMMER 2010 - “FIND A WAY”
This is the beginning of the “Find A Way” journey 2010. This year we will be using “Find A Way” as our team theme which should bring about great discussion within our team, opponents, and the media. I look forward to unwrapping all God has planned for us and the various ways we will find to praise His name over the next seven months.
You will notice this year that our summer workout times and dates have changed. I have done this to allow players to have jobs during the day and to limit the number of trips that you will need to take to campus over the summer. While we are together we will apply ourselves to the task at hand but still leave much time for players to enjoy the summer.
Below I have detailed each week during the summer, however, the general workout (known as "The Zone" times are: every Tuesday and Thursday 3:30 – 7:00 beginning in June.
Prior to the start of our official workout dates each football player will receive a complete athletic assessment. On Monday May 17th and Tuesday 18th from 12:00-3:00 all football players 9-12 will be tested by Hoffacker Fitness. This fitness assessment will help to determine the exact workout that you will need for the summer to allow for the optimization of our summer time together. All players will need to stop by the Middle School office and sign up for a time for one of these two days. THIS IS MANDATORY FOR ALL ATHLETES AND SPECIFICALLY FOR ALL FOOTBALL PLAYERS. You must sign up of for a time by 12:00 on May 9th.
Again, if you plan on playing football you must sign up for a time on May 17th and 18th. The testing will only take 15 minutes but you will need to be there 15 minutes before your time to get all the appropriate paperwork filed and to be ready to start on time. This is the first step of our summer training program. Please sign up and be on time.
We will also be hosting a youth camp the first week that school is out on May 24, 25, 26, 27 (Monday – Thursday) from 8-11:30. You are expected to be there to help with the camp. The camp activity for you is three fold: 1) to begin to build unity in our team, 2) to teach correct technique to the young players in blocking and tackling, 3) and most importantly to be Godly examples for our young players. Of course, you will receive SALT hours for the camp work.
Our summer expectation for a HCS football player is very simple: if you are in town – be here…no exceptions! Our summer program in vital for you to be in the best condition possible to prevent injury and optimize your success.
Also, to assist us in making sure everyone has a current physical on file for the upcoming season: You MUST have a new physical on file by the first week of June to be issued a helmet and shoulder pads for the summer workout. This means your physical MUST be completed after May 1st to be good for the following school year.
I am excited about our new conditioning program for the summer and our partners Hoffacker Fitness. If we follow "The Zone" plan we will be the best conditioned team in Indiana and will fully be prepared for the task at hand during the 2010 season. During our summer "Zone" time (3:30 – 7:00) on Tuesday and Thursday, we will be doing our Hoffacker Training (Speed, Agility, Quickness), lifting (bench, squat, clean and aux), chalk talk to teach our offense/defense and special teams, and then helmet and shoulder pad time to gain fundamental basics! This will be an action packed time and you should “find a way” to be there every session. The following is a layout of our summer. We will FIND A WAY!
Let me know if you have questions. FIND A WAY, Coach Qualls

Summer Workouts
Ready to "Find A Way"!!!
I continue to get excited about the upcoming season and for the Lord to reveal all he has planned for us. As the spring winds down, many of our players are involved in the SOS camps around Indianapolis and are honing their skills in the weight room and after school gaining speed, agility and quickness.
In the next few days our Athletic Department should be announcing our new workout times for this upcoming summer. At that time I will also be able to announce our 7-7 and camp opportunities for this summer. This new format will be a "less is more" approach. Our goal is to provide a summer training program that will be one of the finest in the state and yet allow players the opportunity to enjoy their summer and pursue many other ministry opportunities.
Stay tuned! Our blog is now back up an running and you will receive many updates throughout the summer!
Go Big Blue,

New and Improved Lifting Classes and PASS
We are at the start of a New Year and with that bring new commitments to living a healthier lifestyle. This also marks the beginning of our 2010 football season! Yes, it will be here before you know it! Coach Wright (who is also the Physical Education Department Head) has been spearheading some efforts to allow our athletes to have an improved experienced in their lifting/conditioning classes during the school day.
The result of that effort has allowed MANY football players to sign up for lifting classes. As a matte of fact, all but 6 football players (on this years roster) have signed up for a lifting/conditioning class of some type. This is the highest participation every experienced at HCS by the football team. Therefore we will not be having before/after school lifting until this summer which is the intent of having a quality program during the school day. This will allow players after school to focus on studies and their spring sports as well as increase their participation in the PASS program. The PASS program will now be offered from 3:30 - 4:30 on the following days in January and February in the auxiliary gym. According to Drew Riddick, the schedule for PASS is as follows:
January - 4-8-11-15-19-22-25-29
February - 1-5-8-12-16-19-22-26
Please look to the Athletic Website for changes to this schedule.
I am excited about the possibilities for our 2010 season and know that the upgrades to the lifting schedule by Coach Wright will be of tremendous benefit to our student athletes. I will be checking in on players during class time as well as during PASS. Please make sure to mark each PASS opportunity on your calendar and make a commitment to be there and make yourself a better athlete!
