You MUST turn in the pads, helmet, and practice gear tonight or tomorrow. We will be here Saturday 10am-12pm. Football is not in pads tonight. We will eat after the workout practice. 

We are doing a cookout for the Bronco families this Friday, April 13, 2018 after practice. Practice will end around 7 and then we will have burgers and hot dogs for everyone. There is a sign up sheet at the concession stand to sign up on so we will have an idea of how many people.

Also, if you can't make it Saturday to turn in equipment, please turn it in on Friday. We will be at the field on Saturday, April 14, 2018 from 10am to 12pm to collect it. We MUST have ALL equipment turned in after practice either on Friday or Saturday. Just place a piece of paper with your childs name in the bag with their equipment.

Lets have a great final 2 days of spring practice and thanks to everyone for coming out.

You will get Football equipment on the first day 4-2-18 and you will return Football equipment on the last day 4-14-2018. Football equipment HAS to be turned back in so that the helmets can be sent off. If you know you cannot make it the last day please turn in on what will be your last day.

Football players come dressed in weather appropriate clothes on the first day and cleats. You will also need a mouth piece(if you don't have one we sell for $2 in the concession stand). Football usually dresses out in practice uniforms and pads the 2nd week.

The English Mountain conference is requiring every kid that participates in football and cheer to have a sports physical this year before the jamboree on August 11th(Which means I need it by August 4th). We have the Express Health Clinic coming out on April 2nd and 3rd at 5:00 P.M. to do physicals for the kids. The charge is $16. They will have the form that the conference requires. So if you have not signed up yet, you can get everything taken care of at the field.

If you missed football & cheer sign ups this will be another opportunity to sign up for both.

$75 to sign up, $50 for a custom Football Jersey(optional), $50 opt out fee (optional), Cheer Pack extra $ (not optional)

Friday, April 13, 2018 will be the final day to purchase a custom Football Jersey(with your child's name on back).

Saturday, April 6, 2018 will also be the last day to sign up for Cheerleading. They have to have time to order Cheer packages so they need to get a final count by that day.

Due to the incoming weather Friday and Saturday's practice has been canceled.

Lets get ready for a great year and see just how much fun we can have.

These next upcoming game weekends are very important. We only continue to keep playing and make it to the Super Bowl if we win. Fan support is highly encouraged. These boys need our support. We have a great little league program and it is only thanks to you guys. We are hoping people will come and watch all 3 games and fill the stands!

If everyone wins Saturday we hopefully will get to play on our home field the next Saturday, November 11th. Times will be announced after Sunday.

Also we will have 4 games(1 game not ours) on the 11th. So we will need extra help in the concession stand and chain gang. Please volunteer to help. We have the same people all the time doing these things and it takes a whole league to make these games run smoothly. 

No practice Tuesday, October 31, 2017!

So far no practice for Grasscutters or Super Grasscutters tonight. No concession.

Dates to keep in Mind:

Saturday, Oct 21st is Senior Night for Football and Cheer. We will recognize the senior boys or girls and their parents during half-time of the PEEWEE game.

Tonight's practice is canceled!

Tomorrow is Jamboree day(8/26) and it is MANDATORY. You MUST be present for weigh in to participate. No showing to jamboree is not an option. NO SHOW = NO PLAY. 

Jamboree is hosted by Pigeon Forge and will be held at Pigeon Forge High School. 

We are scheduled to begin weighing in our players at 9:30 A.M. 

All players should be there no later than 8:30 A.M. in the morning. Please don't try to cut it close. There will be no "do overs" if you are 15 minutes late. 

If your child is close to the limit to play a backfield position (75.5 lbs. for Grasscutters, 100.5 lbs for Supers & 125.5 lbs. for Pee Wees) then please remember, whatever they walk into the weigh station with is what they are weighed with. If you dress them in full pads, they can't take anything off once they enter the weigh station. Even if they have a drink in their hand they have to weigh with the drink. All that they are required to have on is their game jersey and a pair of shorts.

Nothing else. 

All three teams will play an 8:00 minute quarter after weigh in, beginning with the Grasscutters. So bring the complete game uniform to dress into after weigh in.

Everyone has to pay admission at Jamboree. This includes coaches.

If by chance you have not paid your sign up fee it is due by Thursday Aug 10th. Your child cannot go to jamboree if fee is not paid. Please see team mom for a new waiver form that needs to be signed. They have to have 1 for every child for the jamboree also. If you are new to the Broncos and need info or have questions on the jamboree please see team mom or someone at the concession stand.

If you did not pay the opt out fee please come to the concession stand to sign up for home game volunteer duties. See your team mom for chain gang sign ups.

Also remember that the Dandridge Broncos is ran by volunteers. Even all the board members and coaches volunteer to make this a great program. Without volunteers the football program can't run. We are looking to fill 1 spot on the board: Treasurer. We also need a concession manager to work the concession stand at practices and home games. There are sign up sheets in the concession stand to volunteer your time for home games. We are also seeing a lot of extra trash around after practice please remember to pick up trash after practice and not leave it laying around on the ground.

Please anyone that has any questions or if your are just a newbie parent and want extra info please see someone at the concession stand, your team mom, or a football / cheer coach to help answer any questions you might have.

We do practice rain or shine. If it is thundering and lightning we will try to wait it out as long as we can to see if it is going to pass. We will post any cancellations on Facebook, Website, and send a email. Please also remember there has to be an adult at the field at all times with the child practicing.
