2008 Damascus Sports Association Football Season
Welcome to another exciting and competitive year of Cougar football. This year will mark our 37th season of Cougar football. We have numerous changes to advise you about and hope you are as excited as the leadership. We have made a gigantic move with our program by combining all of our resources into the Mid-Maryland Youth Football and Cheer Association. This year we plan on placing teams into the American and Federal divisions of MMYFL along with 1 or 2 flag teams. Cheerleading will accompany our players at these same levels. Head coaches will soon be selected and registration forms will be mailed by May 2008. It is very important returning players respond by the due date or positions on teams may not be available. We plan on placing teams in two divisions at MMYFL and will conduct an internal tryout and assessment of players allowing the coaches to place children where they will benefit the most and make our teams competitive within the league. More will be explained during camp which will start The first week of August.
Mid Maryland Football has a must play rule which will assist players in becoming better players in game situations. Mitey Mites 7-9 yrs, Jr. Pee Wee 8-10 yrs, Pee Wee 9-11 yrs, Jr. Midget 10-12 yrs and Midget 11-13 yrs are the age breakdowns of children in the 5 areas of each division. This league has minimum playing time rules or substitutions. Refer to age weight chart (page 17 of MMYFCL Rules) for details as there are weight limitations. This league has teams in Howard, Carroll, Baltimore and Frederick Counties. The MMYFL website can be accessed from the left menu bar.
Games are played at Damascus High School and host site for the the league. Practice usually starts the 1st week of August and will run up to 4 nights a week until school starts and then 3 days a week at the discretion of the Head Coach. We try to use Middle and Elementary schools for practice locations in the Damascus area.
Team uniforms, shoulder pads, pants pads, rib protectors, practice pants are provided. Practice jerseys, spikes, athletic cup, and helmet with mouth guard are the players responsibility.
