Football Camps: Jackson Creek does not require players to attend summer football camps, but any type of football activity that a player can participate in will help him for the upcoming season.  A local camp to consider is at Bloomington High School South.

Equipment Needed: JCMS provides players with helmets, shoulder pads, knee, thigh, and hip pads, plus all game equipment.  Players also receive their first mouthpiece for free.  Players are responsible for their own practice pants and jersey.  Cleats are also recommended to have.  
Any additional pads or protective gear will need to be provided by the players.  Once the school year begins the players will store their football gear in the JCMS locker room.
