Seattle Medium and pictures...
Hello all,
Many of our photos will now be available on-line for parents to view and purchase if they like… The site should launch today and is functioning and accessible right now at the following link. Please let us know what you think. There are a limited number of pics right now featuring the SeaTac Sharks (Peewees), CD Panthers (Peewees & 89ers), Rainier White Ravens (Peewees & 89ers), and West Seattle Wildcats (Peewees). We are still populating the site with pic, so more will be posted soon, as we have a lot of pics and it takes a while to get them all properly uploaded into the system. Some of the other divisions/games will have posting later today.

Hello and Welcome
Hello and welcome to our site. The 2008 season proved be an exciting year for the Sharks! We crowned the Seniors, Bantams, and 89 'ers as the 2008 SKC Champions! In addition, the Seniors and Bantams ended the season in 1st place too! Our 2008 Cheer Team also took 3rd Place over-all, in additon to 3rd in Stunt, Dance & Cheer! They also competed in RecStar and took 3rd place! Great job ladies! We're all hopeful the 2009 season will be even more eventful.
The SeaTac “SHARKS” have been in operation since 2001. The franchise is part of the South King County Junior Football League (S.K.C.J.F.L.). The league consists of 8 teams. The other franchises are Central Area Parents and Coaches Association (CAPACA) - aka CD Panthers, Des Moines Rams, Rainier Beach Sports Program (Vikings),Rainier Valley Football Association (Ravens), Rainier Green Eagles, Renton Area Athletic Association (RAAA) (Rangers), and West Seattle Wildcats. The league plays by age and not weight. This opens football up to more participants that were unable to play before due to weight restrictions. The participants will be able to play with other participants of their own age and mental capability. The program promotes and sponsors youth football and cheer in the SeaTac and surrounding areas.
The program provides a safe environment wherein youth can gain football and cheer skills; learn good sportsmanship and mental health recreation through competition.
This program will stress learning lessons beyond the field, such as self discipline, team work, concentration, friendship, leadership, and responsibility.
To ensure that players are utilized to their utmost potential and their talents are used for the team’s best average.
Safety is our top concern, with safe and sane exercises, drills, and rules to ensure each child is physically and mentally prepared for the game of football and cheerleading as well.
Each child is unique and develops at their own pace. They will exercise their bodies and minds in an effort to develop the skills needed to execute football and cheer.

CHEER
Cheerleaders are an integral part of any football program and our cheer program is equally important to the SeaTac “Sharks” Junior Football Association as the football teams. We believe that our cheerleaders deserve the same dedicated coaching staffs and support as do the football players. The SeaTac “Sharks” cheer program is made up of the Cheer Director, Equipment Manager, Head Coach, Assistant Coaches, and Team Parents who are volunteers and contribute countless hours in preparation for each season.
Please try to remember this when addressing anyone concerning the program and try to keep all comments offered of a positive and constructive nature. There will always be a place for anyone that wants to make a positive impact on the program by volunteering.
According to S.K.C.J.F.L. rules, cheerleaders are limited to a maximum age of fourteen (14), with the minimum age to be at the discretion of each franchise. The SeaTac “Sharks” reserves the right to restrict registration to those participants of at least six (6) years of age. Mascot participation will be at the discretion of the Cheer Director.
PRACTICE
Practice begins August 3rd from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Tyee High School (4424 S. 188th). Practice will be five days a week, Monday through Friday, until school begins.

If the participant cannot make a scheduled practice or if you are going on vacation, notify your coach so he/she can account for you not being there.
