Football Conditioning Camp #1 May 2025 Wrap-up!

Dear T-Bird Parents,

Thank you for your support throughout our first T-Birds Football Conditioning Camp this week! We know it was a big commitment to bring your kids for two hours each night during the busyness of "Maycember", and we truly appreciate you sharing your athletes with us.

These T-Bird campers came ready to work, focusing on skill development, hard conditioning, and repetition. A huge thanks to our T-Bird Coaches and the amazing staff at @realnealsports for leading the way. We also had our T-Birds film crew out there for a few nights and have some amazing action videos coming soon for the T-Bird campers to remember their experience. We posted a few early photos on our @srvthunderbirds Instagram account, but know there are way more coming soon!

Camp #2 begins Monday, June 9th at the Monte Vista High School Practice Fields. Register here: 2025 Football Conditioning Camp Registration We can't wait to see you there.✌️

Finally, a HUGE thank you to our T-Bird Alumni and T-Bird Friend speakers below. These are an exceptional group of young men and it was inspiring to hear how T-Birds shaped their playing careers. They are leading the way for the next generation of T-Bird athletes!

🏈 Are you registered for the 2025 T-Birds Football Season?

We're seeing high demand for our T-Bird JV and Varsity Football programs. Whether you are a new or returning T-Bird athlete, please ensure you've signed up for the 2025 season. We expect to reach our JV and Varsity registration capacity in the next few weeks before starting to waitlist. We expect Pee Wee registration to fill up by early June before waitlist. We expect Jr. Pee Wee to remain open through end June. If you would like your athlete's name on the back of their practice jerseys, please register by June 1st: 2025 Football Season Registration

✅ Is your Football or Cheer athlete NSID verified for the 2025 Football Season?

If your T-Bird athlete is not NSID-certified by June 30th (i.e., ✅ Green Checkmark appears by their name on the NSID website with 2026 Expiration), they will not be issued equipment during T-Birds Day (July 12th) and cannot practice. Do not wait to complete this.

New in 2025: We will not offer an onsite physician this season during T-Bird Day (July 12th). This is because our NSID certifications need to be complete by June 30th. This means you must make an appointment with your physician to submit the medical clearance form on our certification instructions. 

Upcoming Dates

• Monday June 9th to Friday, June 13th: Football Conditioning Camp #2, 6pm - 8pm: At the Monte Vista practice fields: Register here
• Monday, June 30th: National Sports ID (NSID) Certification must be completed and in a ✅ state.
• Saturday, July 12th: T-Birds Day for Equipment pick-up. Must be NSID-certified to pick up equipment.
• Monday, July 14th, 6pm - 8pm: First day of Football (helmets) practice.
• Tuesday, July 15th, 6pm - 8pm: First day of Premier Cheer practice.
• Wednesday, July 16th, 6pm - 8pm: First day of Champion Cheer practice.

Season Bits

• Player Helmets: During T-Birds Football registration, if you selected "I own my own helmet" (optional), your helmet must be up-to-date and certified with the T-Birds Athletic Director. If you haven't already done so, please send an email to srvtbirds@gmail.com with your athlete's name, year purchased, and a photo of your helmet's rear certification sticker. Player-owned helmets must be Navy in color.
• Volunteer System: We heard your feedback last season. In 2025, we will be piloting a new volunteer system that allows T-Bird families to self-serve answers about their volunteer hours. The intent is to bring more transparency into tracked hours for season and game-level roles to minimize ambiguity at the end of the season.

Fly High!
