Coach Monica discusses the first few days of preseason practice

KUTZTOWN, Pa. — The Kutztown University football program is hard at work preparing for the 2009 season. The sprint-laden sessions began Thursday August 6. Fourth year coach Raymond Monica has been excited with the first few days of camp.

“We haven’t done a lot yet,” Monica said. “I’ve seen some things but I know we’ll know a lot more once we’ve spent a week or so in pads. I thought the guys came in conditioned pretty well. I guess more than anything, I am looking at a lot of younger players. It’s taking them a little time to grasp everything that we’re trying to do.”

Kutztown, which was picked to finish sixth in the PSAC Eastern Division preseason poll, held its annual Media Day Monday morning at University Field. Players gathered for team and individual photos during the session on an extremely hot and humid day.

The Golden Bears kickoff the 2009 season on the road against Saint Anselm College beginning at 1:30 p.m.
