🏈 Incoming Varsity Knockers – Offseason Training Opportunity! 💪

Any current 7th graders who will be incoming 8th graders this fall and are signed up for Knockers Football are welcome to come train!

📍 Location:
The Performance Lab
1515 Lafayette Park Drive – Unit A
Bloomington

🗓 Workout Schedule:
• Tuesdays: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
• Wednesdays: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM

🔥 The Knockers will cover the cost of offseason training for our incoming Varsity players at The Performance Lab.

If your athlete would like to participate but needs financial assistance, please reach out — the Knockers will make sure cost is not a barrier and will cover the training cost.

🏈 For other athletes in the Bloomington Knockers program (not at the Varsity level yet) who want to get some extra work in, Austin Curtis at The Performance Lab is willing to work out a financial deal as well.

Great opportunity for athletes to keep getting better and continue developing their game.

💚💛 Coach Van Ware Cancer Fundraiser 💛💚

Coach Van has been a cornerstone of the Knockers program for over 30 years, first as a player and later as a dedicated coach. He has been facing his battle with cancer with the same determination he’s always shown on and off the field. 🏈

The ongoing treatments, travel, and time away from work have placed a heavy burden on him and his family. This fundraiser is a way for us to give back to someone who has given so much to our kids, families, and community over the years.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference in helping cover healthcare, travel, and related expenses. 🙌

Please consider donating and sharing this post to show your support for Coach Van and his family. 💚💛
