Dandridge Broncos

It's BRONCO time in Dandridge!

• Football & Cheer practice begins this Monday (7/28) from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at the field. 
• Football players will be going 'Helmets Only' next week and will only need to wear: helmets, mouthpieces, cleats, T-shirts & shorts.
• Full pad practice will begin on 8/4. (Reminder, the orange pants with the blue stripe and the solid orange jerseys with the blue stripe are for games only. Please wear the orange mesh jerseys and older blue or plain orange pants you were issued for practices.)
• For those of you that turned equipment after Spring Practice, we will be re-issuing it Monday before practice.
• Don't forget, it is a requirement that a parent or guardian must be present at the field during all practices. 

Coaches:

Football & Cheer coaches that have not yet completed the mandatory concussion training and background check will not be allowed to coach until those are completed. 

Here's to a great 2014 season!

GO BRONCOS!

Thanks Broncos & Bronco parents for another great spring practice! Have a great summer everyone, we'll see you on July 28th!

Remember football is finished, but cheer still has their fittings scheduled for Monday (5/19) beginning at 6:00 P.M. at the field. (Football players that didn't make it today can turn in their equipment on Monday as well.)

Saturday's (5/17) practice will be helmets only. Please wash girdles, pants and practice jerseys, place in equipment bags along with shoulder pads & knee pads and bring with you to practice. When practice is over players can simply put their helmets in the bag and turn in. We will reissue equipment on 7/28-14. This will be our last practice for Spring.

Monday's (5/19) practice has been cancelled, as it was originally planned as equipment turn in day anyway.

• DO NOT ASK to hold a payment or wait for payment, as this will hold up the entire cheerleading order. Again, money is due at the time of purchase.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your coach or the cheerleading director, Patricia Wilkerson.

Tennessee has enacted a law effective 1/1/14 which requires that we must now have a concussion information form signed by both a parent or guardian as well the child participating. This applies to both cheer & football. And yes, we realize how stupid it sounds to require a 5 year old to sign a form that there's no way they understand, but it's the law now. EMFC has taken this very seriously, and will require us to have one of these forms signed for each football player and each cheerleader at Jamboree.

No Concussion Form at Jamboree = No Play.

We would've liked to have had this form ready for sign ups so you could've just completed it with all the other forms, but we just received confirmation that this is the form that EMFC wants.

Please print / sign and turn in to your team mom / director / or coaches.

E.M.F.C. football directors met on 3/1, here are some items of interest from that meeting:

• The divisions have been reset once again. The new division alignment has been updated and is available by clicking the 'E.M.F.C. Divisions' link at left.
• The 2014 schedule has been set and is available by clicking the 'Schedule' link at left.
• Playoffs have been reworked once again as well. The top 4 teams from each division (AFC / NFC) will advance to the playoff as normal. The AFC 1 seed will play the NFC 4 seed and the AFC 2 seed will play the NFC 3 seed on each side, and so forth. Below is how the new bracket will look:
