Rome City Schools Resumes Wolf Power Workouts for Spring

March 7, 2023 –  Rome, GA - Beginning March 7, Rome Middle School Football will host Wolf Power Workouts. In its fifth year, Wolf Power is a program that helps busy parents get young Wolves to practice and get extra help with assignments in the classroom.

The program began in 2018, after Rome High School Head Football Coach John Reid noticed that Rome City’s elementary school students were having a hard time getting to athletics practice. 

In response, community members and RCS coaches stepped up to provide transportation to practice. Students who want to participate in sports now have the means to get to practice and are also afforded time after school to study with a tutor.

Since its inception, Reid says the district now has enough players for 6th grade football. Before Wolf Power, there were no students from Anna K. Davie playing 6th grade ball.

Wolf Power is not just about athletics, but academics as well. Volunteers and staff host study groups where the young athletes can work on homework and go over material they may not have mastered in class. After the study session, buses pick up the athletes from school and take them to practice.

The Wolf Power Program allows the students to get home earlier in the evening. Having already gotten help with and possibly completed all homework assignments, they are able to get adequate rest and additional instruction, which translates to better success in class.

Wolf Power Workouts will begin Tuesday March 7th and continue every Tuesday and Thursday until Spring Break. 6th graders will meet at RMS from 4pm- 5pm.

4th and 5th graders will meet at Main Elementary from 3:15pm - 4:30pm, Students will be transported from each elementary school to the workout location.

To enroll your child, request a signup sheet at the front office of your home elementary school.
