When are practices held and do I need to be at all the practices?

All practices (football players and cheerleaders) take place on the Rt. 65 Ohio River Blvd. Field. Practices begin in August and run 5 nights a week (Monday through Friday) until school starts. Practice time is generally 6pm to 8pm during this time. Once school begins, practice will be held Tues, Wed, Thurs. time will remain the same until otherwise notified.



Attendance is mandatory for all practices. When players miss practice it can effect the whole team. This is at least a three month commitment. Any missed practices should be discussed with the Head Coach.



The actual start dates for games will be determined by the Tri-State Youth Football League. The 2012 Season Opener is the last week in August.

Sign up early to reserve your childs football number.



When is equipment hand-out?

Equipment hand-out will be in late July. You will receive email notification and details will be posted on the web site.



Do I have to work the concession stand?

The concession stand is a tremendous asset to the organziation. Every parent should volunteer a few shifts during the season. Some volunteers will be needed during regular practice and others will be on game day. When volunteering your time at the concession stand usually it will be the game before or after your child's game. It is important that we get to see our children play and perform. With only 3 games please stay and help out the organization.



How can I volunteer?

There are many opportunities for people to volunteer their time. We are looking for people to help in the consession stand, announce games, work the sticks, maintain equipment, maintain the field, selling advertising for the program ad and a bunch of other things. If you have a talent or skill we can probably put it to good use. Sign-up sheets will be distributed during equipment handout and will also be available at the concession stand during practice.
Please keep communication open and email bapukylo@verizon.net to receive information needed.
