Please have your child arrive 15 minutes prior so they are ready to go at the start of practice.?Please make sure that your child has a water bottle for practice. At this time, we are still working out logistics if we will be able to practice at the high school field back by the football shed like we have in years past or if we will be practicing at Fireman’s Park. Once we have this information, we will get it out to you. Game Schedules:??Game schedules will be posted on our website and also will be emailed out to you once they are set.?

We will be doing two fundraisers this year.? Emil’s Pizza Fundraiser and Fantasy Football Cards.? Each child is expected to sell a certain number of items (which can be combined between the two fundraisers).? If you have two kids in the program, the requirement is less. We will be sending out information on the breakdown of each item required to sell in the next few days. ?Fundraisers will be handed out on picture day; August 5 and the return of the fundraiser forms will be August 19 between 5 pm – 6 pm. The Emil’s Pizza Delivery will be on September 2 with the delivery truck arriving at 5 pm.

Sign up is done through? Once our schedules are known for all grade levels, a Signupgenius will be emailed out. I recommend signing up as soon as you can so you can get the times and days that work best for you. If you are on a scholarship, your volunteer requirement is different per the form you filled out.Volunteering is what makes our organization possible and successful.? All coaches are volunteers and put in many many hours throughout the season to make your child's season better.? What we ask of you as parents, is to roll up your sleeves and help us out in other ways.? Volunteering is a requirement from the CFO.? For each child that you have in the program, you as parents/grandparents, etc, are required to work 2 volunteer shifts.? We have a few home games this year so there will be a lot of opportunities to volunteer.? I know for some, this can be nerve racking, but it is actually a fun time, you get to meet other parents and most importantly, make the CFO successful.? When you don't pick up the required shifts, those shifts are still open and guess who is having to fill them.? Someone that has already fulfilled their two required volunteer shifts already, which isn't really fair.? So please, take the time and pick two shifts.? We promise you; it isn't as bad as you think.? You can sign up for concession stands, working the grill, the clock, down markers, chain gain, announcers or just be part of the set up or cleanup crew.? There are also a few times that we need people to work the JV concession stands.??"One of the Greatest Gifts You Can Give Is Your Time"?Physical Forms:? Below you will find attached a WIAA Physical Clearance Form and the Alternate year card.?
