It took six hours (one student s father did donate a sprayer, or it would have taken longer), but this year s team can enjoy coming out to a fresh, new field.<br>Other projects identified and still in the works include<br>" Establishing a Spirit Bus to bring fans to the games. The kids hope to be able to bus in people from retirement communities.<br>" An ongoing tutoring program. Already 16 kids are tutoring other students, mostly in math.<br>" A Lift-a-Thon to raise money.<br>" Organizing the homecoming game, pregame parties and pep rallies.<br>" Each member must perform ten hours of community service each year.<br>" A quarterly newsletter for the 11 s.<br>" A Copper-Silverccomplish, says Galt.  Some of the workouts, some of the intensity---we weren t sure that they would physically be able to accomplish without overtraining. But they stayed with the program, and by the time the season rolled around in August, they were the strongest, heaviest, fastest team we d ever had. <br>When asked what advice he would give to high school players who hope to someday play for Maryland, Galt replied,  One of the biggest problems with high school athletes is time constraints, because many athletes are multi-sport. What we recommend is that the high school athlete try to figure out a way to become more consistent in the weight room, even if it s only 45 minutes, twice a week. We have many kids from well-established high school programs who come here, and when they come here they just explode---and that s because we traino better yourself constantly. Everyone falls from time to time, but 11 s get up and, instead of complaining about the fall, learn how to do better the next time. However, no one is an 11 all of the time, but the goal of this program is to help you become an 11 more of the time. Changing yourself will be one of the hardest things you will ever do, but it will be the most rewarding. <br>The last line of the contract reads  I pledge myself to a better way of life in which my good choices and healthy lifestyle clearly distinguish my character. On a scale of one to ten, I choose to be an 11! <br><br>The Football Team<br><br>With such a small student body, mature muscle on the Soroco football field is in high demand.  Last year we only had two seniors, Willie Spicer and Casey Means, says Seale.  These guys sacrificed a lot. We were playing a JV schedule, and they knew we were out of contention for state and all the big titles. Still, they made every game and they really helped the other kids.<br> The team really rallied and we finished with a better record than any from the three previous years. The kids got the idea that it d be nice to dress nicer and went out on their own time, with their own money, and the entire team rented tuxedos for the homecoming game. They wore them the entire day. That really got the community to take notice. <br>Seale believes in calling a spade a spade, and while optimistic about the team s future, he knew this season would probably not be a winning season.  I told them,  If we re lucky, we ll hit 500. But you re the start of something new for Soroco. You re just the beginning.  <br>The team, with four seniors this year, has done a great job both on and off the field. Seale credits the BFS Be An 11 program for both.  We had no problems with the football stars. Grades went up and so did the level of respect. One of my colleagues made a correlation between the 11 s and the honor roll-they seem to go hand in hand.<br> These days it s the kids getting after me instead of me going after them. The gains in the weight room have been phenomenal. Huge gains. And it s all them. <br><br>Making the Choice<br><br>While sports and academics are two great reasons for a school to host a Be An 11 clinic, there are other matters of far greater consequence.J4(U%c@iث0Gvov䛑{ΌG~ǀme_ltbar_body">Find BFS Reps in Your Region
