Peacock Tornado Football Players:
Fall camp begins on Thursday, August 20th. We will have a team fundraiser at the Hillcrest Golf
Course starting at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 13th. The managers will call you to remind
you about the tournament. We need 30 people to commit to the golf tournament. We are in need
of new uniforms this season and next season. To help offset those costs we will also run another
fundraiser for two weeks at the start of this season. We will be selling Tornado Football 'Gold
Card' discount coupon cards which give buyers instant payback and major discounts at local
businesses. Players will be required to sell 15 cards and are $20.00 each. Line up sales with
neighbors and relatives now to sell cards to them in August. We will be getting the cards after
practice on Saturday, August 22nd and will finish with a team selling blitz after practice on
Saturday, September 5th at 12:00 p.m.
Practice will begin on Thursday, August 20th with registration at 2:00 p.m. in the gym. We will
test your bench press, 30 yd sprint time and 1 mile timed fitness run at 2:30 p.m. Equipment
(practice pants, thigh pads, knee pads, girdle and pads) will be issued after athletic testing. We
will start full practices on Friday, August 21st at 3:35 p.m. We need seven solid practices before
our controlled scrimmages on Friday, August 28th in Saskatoon versus Tommy Douglas and two
other Saskatoon league high schools.
The cost to play football at Peacock Collegiate this season will be $250.00. In polling the
players from last season you preferred to have all fees included at one time.

Team fees are due by Tuesday, September 1st. Player fees must be paid by this date to be
eligible for our first league game. A postdated cheque can be used. Please date postdated
cheques for October 1, 2015. Seven season tickets at $7.00 each ($49.00) will be issued to each
player. We encourage you and your family members, relatives, neighbours, friends, etc. to use
these season tickets to attend our league games. You keep all money generated from selling your
own season tickets. We feel that this fee is reasonable in comparison to Regina and Moose Jaw
minor football that charge $200.00 - $250.00.
The Moose Jaw league schedule is attached. We will travel to Swift Current and Estevan this
season for our league games. Our first league game will be Thursday, September 3rd vs. Swift
Current at 4:00 p.m. We will play an exhibition game on Friday, September 18th at 4:00 p.m.
versus the Saskatoon Centennial Chargers at Gutheridge Field.
The Tornado Grade 9 and10’s will host our own jamboree on Saturday, September 19th at 1:00
p.m. at Gutheridge Field. Teams involved in the jamboree are North Battleford, Saskatoon
Tommy Douglas, Prince Albert St. Mary’s and Prince Albert Carlton. The Tornado Grade 9
and10’s will travel to Prince Albert on Tuesday, September 29th to play Prince Albert St. Mary’s
and Prince Albert Carlton in a mini jamboree as well.
The winner of the Moose Jaw league will travel to play the Regina league winner on Saturday,
November 7th. The winner of that game will travel to Saskatoon to play the winner of the
Saskatoon league in the Provincial final on November 14th. With a lot of hard work we want to
set our team up to challenge for the Provincial title.
Make sure you keep the game weekends and weekdays open. Arrange your work around
football games and practices. “You have your whole life after high school to work, but you
can only play high school football for four years.”
Have the Moose Jaw High School Athletic Association (yellow) form signed by your
parents and yourself for Thursday, August 21st. A medical is recommended but not
mandatory to play high school football in the Moose Jaw league.
If you know of any new students to Peacock or other students that should be playing encourage
them to try out. I hope you have a good and active summer. The coaches are looking forward to
seeing you in shape and ready to play on August 21st.
Sincerely,
Coach Buettner

Dear Parents/Guardians of Peacock Tornado Football Players:
The coaches and players are excited about the upcoming 2015 high school football season. The
same coaching staff will be back this year. There is a great deal of experience and dedication
with our coaches and we hope high school football will be a very enjoyable and worthwhile
experience for your son.
We expect our players to have great attendance at school and on the practice field. We expect
our players to attend all team functions. The players and coaches have organized a list of
guidelines for playing football at Peacock and good citizenship and attendance is a high priority
for our players and coaches. Players should only be missing practice for illness and family
emergencies. If your son is absent from school, or needs to miss a practice, please phone into the
main office and leave a message with the secretary. Please tell the secretaries to let Mr. Buettner
know that your son is missing practice and the reason. You can also email me directly at
[email protected]
The cost to play football at Peacock Collegiate this season will be $250.00. In polling the
players from last season you preferred to have all fees included at one time.

The winner of the Moose Jaw league will travel to play the Regina league winner on Saturday,
November 7th. The winner of that game will travel to Saskatoon to play the winner of the
Saskatoon league in the Provincial final on November 14th.
We are a Senior High School Team and we work hard to develop our program. Our goal is to try
and put the most competitive team on the field for league games and playoffs. As coaches we
want players and parents to understand that decisions regarding playing time are made by the
coaches with this philosophy in mind. A grade 10 can take the place of a grade 11 or 12 and vice
versa. Attendance, effort and skill are important parts of being successful on the team. We work
very hard to schedule additional games to allow our younger players to gain some game
experience.
Please return the enclosed player/ parent permission (orange) form with your team
registration fee.
A medical is recommended but not mandatory to play high school football in Moose Jaw. A
MJHSAA registration form is included (yellow). It needs to be filled out on both sides by a
parent/ guardian and your son/ daughter for our first practice on Thursday, August 21st.
*An amateur football states that players can only wear clear visors on their helmets. Tinted
visors are not allowed under any circumstance.
Team suppers are arranged by a parent’s group who phone volunteers to help. A parent will
likely be contacting you sometime in the future. It is great if everybody takes a turn
contributing/ helping out with team suppers.
I would like to extend an invitation to you on behalf of the coaches, to attend practice(s) at any
time at our practice facility at Memorial Field at 301 Caribou Street East. We welcome you to
watch practice and talk to the coaches any time after practice.
Included with this letter are a fall camp itinerary and a schedule for our season. We look forward
to your support in the upcoming season.
Your son/daughter also has a player letter which is specific to them.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at Peacock at 693-4626.
Sincerely,
Blake Buettner
Tornadoes Coach
