WELCOME LELAND CHARGER FANS
TO THE 2021 FOOTBALL SEASON>>> The words Welcome Back have never seemed more appropriate! Over a year has
passed since the last athletic contest here at Leland and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome our athletes, coaches, parents, and the community back to school and to athletics. It’s been a difficult year for so many. Right here in the Almaden community we’ve seen the impact of the pandemic first hand as many families have been forced to deal with Covid-19 virus in many ways. It’s therapeutic to have kids back on the field, very soon back in the classroom, and fans back in the stands. Only time will help our community get back to some degree of normalcy and we hope enjoying high school athletics can be a big part of that. With that said, we did have complete fall and winter seasons last year and we also welcome our incoming freshmen and their parents. We hope that your experience in Chargers athletics is rewarding and valuable. High school sports are dependent upon the involvement of our parents and we have a great group here at Leland! Last year proved to be another successful athletic season for Charger sports as we saw six programs win league championships, multiple individuals and teams represent the school in the CCS playoffs, dozens of athletes recognized as all league and all section, and eleven collegiate athletic scholarships awarded. We also saw girls water polo and football advance to the CCS finals in their respective divisions and girls water polo and girls basketball advance to the NorCal Regional tournament

We welcome new coaches in boys basketball, field hockey, and boys water polo, and we’re excited to see those programs continue their recent successes. The Booster Club also welcomes new board members as they continue to play a major role in supporting Leland athletics. Don’t forget to join the Booster Club and please join us for one of their many fundraisers over the course of the school year. The 2021 Leland Chargers football season looks to be an exciting one. Coach Kelly King Jr. returns for his second year after taking the Chargers to the CCS finals last fall. He returns 19 players including first team all league players Sid Thadani and Corbin Yates and second team all leaguers Noor Haroon, Mark Eby, Jack Ryan, and Tanner Frank. Be sure to follow all of the Leland athletics action by going to www.lelandathletics.com and by following @LelandAthletics on twitter for real time updates of the action on the field, the course, the court, and in the pool. Enjoy the game tonight and enjoy the 2020-2021 Leland athletic season. We look forward to seeing you come out to support our student athletes.

HEAD COACH >>A MESSAGE FROM THE FOOTBALL
Welcome to the start of the 2021 Spring Leland football season. The Leland Charger Football family is glad you are here to support us.
I know the past year has been one we never could have imaged. As our country, state, city and community has delt with the pandemic and tries to get back to somewhat normal life; we hope we can make everyone in the Leland community proud. As a program we our goal this year is not about championships but about uplifting. Yes, we will continue to focus on doing our best to win every game in our shorten season but it’s more important that we present our students and community with the opportunity to safely enjoy the experiences that they have missed out on in the past 12 months. Things have been different as we have started this season but there is excitement in the air, I think for the first time in a while. We have some seniors who are looking to finishing their senior year with something positive to remember. We also have a group of underclassmen who are eager to get back out there and use this season as a springboard to the future. As we move forward in the next 5 weeks we hope to put a product on the field that our family, school, administration, friends and Almaden Valley can be proud of. As a coaching staff we hope to continue to help your young men grow and develop into pillars
of our community. We continue to preach our team values and rules as we feel they are what keeps our Football Family in line.
• DO THE RIGHT THING AT ALL TIMES • ALWAYS BE POSITIVE • TEAM FIRST • BE ACCOUNTABLE As a program we appreciate all the support we continue to get from our family, friends and community. We want to say a special thanks to all the people in the Alamden Valley who have believed in our Football Family. We hope as you see us play or read about or games in the paper that we can be a small light of pride in your life.
GO CHARGERS!
