OYTF Football Families with Multiple Football Players,

Parents,

Regarding practice fields, I certainly do understand some of your frustration. We did try our best to keep all our teams (Blue, White, Orange, & Silver) together. Unfortunately, when the park district architect laid out the demensions of all 16 fields that was not possible. Our Superlight and Lightweight teams now use the same size fields, which are now smaller in size. Also, There are three different size fields laid out at Grande Park for all the teams (color).

These are the reasons why all the divisions are grouped together and the field locations have changed. As you may not have noticed, Varsity uses 50x40 yard field, JV uses a 40x40 yard field and Lightweight and Superlight are using a 30x40 yard field.

The reason that our practice fields were not changed last year is because we had our four Varsity teams practicing on our game fields. We can not allow our Varsity teams to practice on these fields this year. As you are aware, we will be playing on our game fields for this season.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Tom Zagorski
President
Oswego Youth Tackle Football & Cheer
