Reminders For Athletes and Parents!

1. Now that football is in full swing make sure your child is drinking lots of water throughout the day.

2. Those players with long finger nails be sure to keep them short during football season since they my rip up or off.

3. Our practice pant is the white one, the silver one is our game pants and no one should be wearing it to practice ever. We strongly recommend that those who did not try on their game pants to date do so ASAP. Don't wait to the last second to find out that your child's pants does not fit.

4. All be advised, our 2008 Game Jerseys will fit snugly and need to be tucked in unlike the practice jersey. The kids will need help on game day to put it on and take it off. Snug Game Jerseys serves a specific purpose and that is so opposing teams have a had time grabbing on to it. The best way to put on the Game Jersey is to put it over the shoulder pads first then have your child slip over his head.

5. Be sure to wash your football practice apparel for hygiene purposes at least twice per week, failure to do so may result in your child getting a boil/s and to be considerate to others.

6. Drop off and pick up your child on time so you are respectful to others and the team. It is important to be at practice every day!

7. Take care of all outstanding obligations in a timely manner

8. Reminder to bring in your case of drinks to your Business Manager (water, juice or soda) which will be sold in our Concession stand.

9. If there are any concerns or issues be sure to follow the chain of command and let's try really hard to handle in a civilized way. Remember each child is important to us but on the same token our executives, coaches, business managers, equipment personal and team mommies have many others to manage as well.

10. Get lots of rest.
