Jamboree season is underway and the Senior Titans are working hard and learning.
Two weeks ago the Titans were at the Fuhr Sports Park in Spruce Grove for their first Jamboree.
They played the Fort Saskatchewan Sturgeon, the St. Albert Stars, Spruce Grove Panthers, and the St. Joe’s Celtics.
Coach Ken Fournier said this was good for the team to play larger urban schools.
“It was good for the guys to get some good competition in,” he said. “We find in the Jamborees, playing bigger schools is better for us.”
While Jamboree-style play is all about development, and no score is kept, he said the team performed well.
“We held on in every game,” said Fournier. It’s about development, it’s not about who wins or loses.”
He adds during spring Football, they bring along players who will shape the roster in the future. They can rotate younger players in and they stepped up, as did international students.
This past weekend the Titans hosted their own Jamboree and invited Canmore and Hanna to Drumheller.
“It is a different kind of competition, we are rotating guys and the coaches are on the field, so you can do a bit of coaching as you go,” he said, “It is like a preview of what the team will look like more towards the fall.”
The Senior Titans will wrap up spring camp this coming weekend in Okotoks.
