2011 Welcome Letter for New and Returning Players from our President Ken Fisher
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone, new and returning Football Players and Cheerleaders to the 2011 Tiger Pride football season. This season marks our 10th year of involvement in the Greater 19 Youth football league. The Greater 19 League gives your child the opportunity to play or cheer against many other schools in the greater Pittsburgh area.
Our practice and game fields are located at Blueberry Park off Nicholson Rd in Franklin Park Twp. Practice starts in early August and runs 5 days per week from 6-8 pm. Once school starts, practices are held 3 days per week with a game on Saturday. NA Tiger Pride is an organization dedicated to introducing and developing the fundamentals of football and Cheerleading. The concepts of teamwork and sportsmanship are also introduced and emphasized.
Na Tiger Pride is a volunteer organization that values parent participation and input. It is our goal, as the Board, to make NA Tiger Pride the finest youth football organization in the league. This would not be possible without the efforts of many parents and volunteers who have given liberally of their time and talents in the past.
If you are new to Tiger Pride and have questions about your child's involvement, or if you would like to get involved in coaching or teaching please feel free to contact Glenn Powell, Gary Kidd, Michele Stigerwald (for cheerleading) or Myself, our contact information can be found on the Tiger Pride website, natigerpride.com under contacts. See you on the field.
Ken Fisher
President North Allegheny Football Club
Football is like life -- it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.

Hello Families of Tiger Pride,
Few of items of concern that need your attention
1.Physician Release Forms: These need to be completed and turned into your Team Mom/Coach by Monday August 15th or your child will not be able to continue with practice. The form is available on our website under "forms".
2.Please Care for Franklin Park’s Pavilion: While these are our practice fields made possible by awesome donations of time, labor and materials; we are still guests in Franklin Park’s facilities and we are lucky to have these awesome facilities. Franklin Park has repeatedly ask that better care and courtesy be practiced by us and our kids while at Blueberry.
a.Feet Remain on the Ground: this means no feet on the benches, tabletops or railings. Also means if you want to sit at a table – please have your feet on the floor and your butt in the seat, not your butt on the tabletop and your feet on the seat. Needless to say this is especially important when things are muddy but Franklin Park has requested we get compliance with this at all times.
b.Bathrooms: Each of us is responsible for cleaning up after ourselves and our children. Trash belongs in the trash can.
c.Parking: Handicapped Spots will be enforced and offenders will receive tickets from the Borough of Franklin Park. There is no parking along the road way up the hill out of the lower lot. If you park there you will also be ticketed. Parking at the bottom nearest to the field is for Coaches Only and will be clearly marked soon. If you are dropping your player off and they are putting things on – please pull into a parking spot so the flow can continue.
It is good to be back in full swing. Just a little bit of care and common courtesy and a great year will be had by all.
Good Luck to all in having fun learning Football and Cheerleading.
Beautiful Aerial Views of our Tiger Pride Stadium thanks to Dennis Watkins!

Baseline Head Injury Testing
CONCUSSION BASELINE TESTING
Through our affiliation with UPMC Sports Medicine, Tiger Pride is now offering the opportunity to utilize ImPACT concussion baseline testing at a cost of $20.00 per athlete. This computer based online test is a series of memory and reaction questions that help establish a baseline of normal cognitive function. The baseline test will then be used as part of a comprehensive clinical evaluation to determine recovery following concussion. It should be noted that this test does not prevent concussions or determine if your son or daughter is predisposed to a concussion. The test is simply one more tool that can be used to determine if your son or daughter can safely return to play following a concussion.
This test is not mandatory, but it is strongly encouraged. Likewise, if your son or daughter were to sustain a concussion during the season I would strongly encourage him or her to seek medical care from the UPMC Sports Medicine or other concussion experts. Additional information regarding the concussion program is available on the Sports Medicine website at the address below.

Appointments for the ImPACT concussion baseline test can be made by calling UPMC Sports Medicine at 412-432-3775.
