Welcome parents, players and fans of Grantsburg Middle School Pirate Football! We are excited to have this website available to use and hope you check back often for scores, news and game notes.

Our goals for the season are pretty simple:

1. Be safe
2. Have fun
3. Learn the fundamentals
4. Be good people on the field, at school and at home

My thought on winning and losing:

We play games to win, there is not doubt about it. I hope every young person who comes out to play Pirate football has a desire to win. At this level, however, it is not the primary goal. We want to prepare kids with a solid understanding of the game and how to play it safely.

We will win games, but the emphasis will be on teaching this great game of football.

Coach's goals:

1. Respect each young person.
2. Teach them sound and safe fundamentals.
3. Improve each individual in the game of football.
4. Model sportsmanship, encouragement, integrity, and ethical play.
5. Allow each person real and significant playing time.
6. Provide a safe environment during practice and games.
7. Continue learning about the game and how best to teach it.
8. HAVE FUN!

The coaching staff is looking forward to this upcoming season and we look forward to partnering with parents to help make this the most successful season for GMS Pirate Football.

-Coach Bob Rombach
