Towson Spartans Receive Grant for Xenith Helmets!
Thanks to the very generous contributions of two Spartan families, the Towson Spartans football program will now be equipped with 140 new Xenith X2 helmets! We have been impressed by the engineering behind this helmet and its added protection against concussions and are thrilled to be able to replace our aging supply of helmets with this product. SPARTANS FOREVER!

“Heads Up” on Concussion
The Center for Disease Control has created free tools for youth and high school sports coaches, parents, athletes, and health care professionals that provide important information on preventing, recognizing, and responding to a concussion: Heads Up on Concussion. Take the time to review the online videos and materials so you are informed. All Towson Football coaches are required to review the materials.
Support the Spartans!
Sponsorship Packet
The success of our program is due in large part to the volunteers and supporters like you who make playing football for Towson SO MUCH FUN! • All sponsors will be recognized on our web site home page, www.leaguelineup.com/towsonfootball, as well as the separate Sponsors Page. The web site receives over 8,500 hits per season from both TRC participants as well as participants from other programs. • Sponsors are invited to provide a banner to be displayed at Meadowood Regional Park during each of our 5 home games. Each game provides visibility not only to the 600+ GB football fans but to visitors to the park as well. Additionally, we can professionally design your banner at no additional cost. Banners are available in two sizes: 3’ x 8’ or 3’ x 16’. The final cost of output is determined by the vendor. • Sponsors may be recognized in other ways as well—from concession sign menu boards, to player programs, to team water bottles—please let us know how you would like to be acknowledged! • And of course, your donation is 100% tax deductible We are extremely grateful to all of the dedicated volunteers and supporters of Towson Football throughout the years and hope you will join us in continuing this great tradition. Please contact Suzanne Schriver, TRC Football Administrator, at 410-337-2467 or towsonfootball@comcast.net for more information on this year's fundraising goals and to discuss how you can become a sponsor.
Rain Policy
Generally speaking, we play in the rain, but not thunder and lightning. HOWEVER, the county has changed policies regarding field usage in wet weather for the protection of their fields. Announcements are not made until 3pm and therefore last minute cancellations or moves to alternate fields are very likely during wet weather or even following wet weather. Please signup for our text alert to receive alerts when the Rec Council or County close a field we are scheduled to use.
