Interested in 8U Tackle Football?

The Sabre Rec tackle football program is looking for 8U players to join the fall 2024 team! 8U is for players who are 8 years old or younger as of August 31st. Sabre Rec tackle football is a great introduction to the sport of football in a safe, nurturing and fun environment. Our program is consistent with the mission of the SCS Athletics program with an emphasis on character, teamwork and leadership. Pre-season is already underway but it's not too late for a roster spot. The SCS Rec tackle program is open to both SCS students AND non-students so pass along the word to any friends who might be interested as well. We love our littles at SCS!

It is searchable within Facebook at "Southside Christian Rec Football" (not to be confused with Southside Christian Rec Football and Cheer). For those involved with the football program please make sure to follow this new page as there will be frequent informational posts, particularly in the coming days as we approach the start of formal activities for the 2024 Fall season.

***2024 Sabre Youth Rec Football Important Dates and Information***

Hi everyone. As we near the start of team activities with the arrival of summer, below is some key information for the coming weeks.

Conditioning

Conditioning begins for ALL LEVELS (8u, 10u, 12u) on Tuesday, June 11th, running from 6:30 to 7:30pm on the Southside practice fields (east end of campus or to the right when entering from Woodruff) . These will be held every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, with the exception of July 4th week, through July 11. While these conditioning sessions are not mandatory, they are HIGHLY encouraged as they will serve as both an assessment period in the event that high turnout requires difficult roster decisions and also as a critical period of preparation as the official start of the season approaches. Historically players that attend at least 75% or so of these sessions derive a significant advantage in terms of state of preparation for the commencement of the regular season.

12u “practice” on June 1st (THIS SATURDAY)

The 12u division will be having a voluntary offseason practice on Saturday, June 1st from 10am to 11:30am on the Southside practice field. Returning players, players moving up from 10u, and new players that have already attended prior sessions are welcome as well as players and parents considering the program who wish to come out and see what the program is all about. Again, this is for players and prospective players specific to the 12u division.

General Information

It is understood that there are likely many program questions at this stage, particularly if you are considering playing with Sabres rec for the first time. Please follow the link below where you can find deeper detail and perhaps answers to some of those questions..

Additionally, we will be creating a new page specific to the Rec Football program and will share that information here once it is available (within a matter of days). You can expect far more frequent communications and program notes over the coming days and weeks.

And lastly, each division in the program has its own GameChanger group ("8u Southside Christian Sabres", "10u Southside Christian Sabres", "12u Southside Christian Sabres"). Joining these groups within the GameChanger app will provide more detailed visibility into team activities, including key dates and other team-related communications. You can join as a "fan" and associate your profile to your player. You will then receive all communications.

Stay tuned for more in the coming days and thank you for your patience as we go through a process of improving general program communications.

Thank you and Go Sabres!!!

Camp is open to rising 1st- rising 8th grade players.

Correction to the post below:

This Saturday (June 1) is a voluntary 12U offseason practice (not formal conditioning). It is a great (and final) opportunity for potential new players to get to know the program in advance of the start of formal team activities. It will run from 10:00am to 11:30am on the Southside Christian practice field.

Formal conditioning for all levels commences Tuesday, June 11, running from 6:30 to 7:30 T, W, Th through July 11th with the exception of July 4th week.

Good afternoon Sabre families.

**This is for Rec Football**

We will be holding conditioning this Saturday (6/1) for all 3 age levels (8u, 10u & 12u) at the practice fields at SCS from 10a-11:30a.

More information about the upcoming season will be shared at conditioning.

02/24/2024

Quick reminder we're on for our last workout tomorrow at 2:30. We'll go til 4 like last time. We'll be on the practice fields like before.

Dates for the start of summer workouts will be sent out later this spring. Likely by end of March or early April

If anyone is interested in helping coach at the 8u or 12u level, please reach out to me (Mark Steenback) directly.

See everyone tomorrow!

02/18/2024

Good afternoon Sabre Nation!

I apologize for not getting this out sooner, but our last winter workout will be next Sunday, February 25th at 2:30. We'll be back on the practice fields and we'll go to 4 like the last time.

Please feel free to invite anyone interested in the program or in football.

I highly encourage you to get your player in a spring sport or some sort of activity different than tackle football for the spring. It will be a huge benefit for them in many ways.

Also, Coach Joe and I will be coaching a 10u flag football team in Mauldin this spring and their sign ups last for another week I believe.

I'll have information about when summer workouts begin later in the spring.

Looking forward to seeing everyone next Sunday.

Go Sabres!!

Quick reminder that we'll have a football workout this Sunday from 2:30-4 on the practice field. Cleats and water are all the boys will need. Look forward to seeing everyone again! Remember to invite anyone that is interested or just curious.

01/27/2024

Good afternoon everyone! It was really good to see a lot of the boys out there this past Sunday! I'm 💯 sure the coaches had more fun than the boys, but glad they were able to get some work in

We're planning on another workout Sunday, February 4th at 2:30. It will be a very similar set up to last week, but we'll plan to go closer to 4 for our finish time.

Please invite as many people as you can that play or are interested in playing. Especially if you know families at the 8u and 12u ages.

Have a great weekend! Go Sabres!

Hi everyone. Members of the Sabres Greenville County rec tackle football league coaching staff will be holding the first of many offseason practice sessions on Sunday, Jan. 21, at 2:30. This will take place at Southside Christian School on the practice fields to the right of the school as you pull in and is open across the three available levels - 8u, 10u, 12u - and we encourage both existing players and potential new players to join us. We're going to run through a variety of skills and conditioning drills and, more importantly, start creating a passionate team environment in anticipation of a great 2024 season. This is a terrific opportunity for interested players to see what the Sabres rec program is all about as we look toward the formal start of team activities this summer. Note: players that want to attend do NOT need to be SCS students.

We will be cleats-only for this session and it is going to be chilly so dress accordingly. Also be sure to bring plenty of water and a great attitude. Hope to see you all there!

If you have any questions please feel free to contact:

Coach Mark Steenback - [email protected]

Coach Jeff Moore - [email protected]

01/11/2024

We will be holding an optional football workout on January 21 at 2:30pm on the practice football fields at Southside Christian for anyone in any of our age groups that would like to come. This is also open to anyone who is interested in joining our program.

All the players will need to bring is cleats and a water bottle.
