 The Holt Jr Rams Football board and coaching staff is here to teach and support each of you as you learn the game of football.   It is our responsibility to keep you safe and make sure that you have fun.  Your coaches will volunteer many hours of their time to teach you proper technique and the fundamentals of the game and for that you will promise them that:
