You can make a special request on the registration form to be on a specific team, or request to be on the same team as a friend. Special requests may result in being moved up or down an division or to a different team.
I see on the website that most games are on
Saturdays are there practices?
Yes,
games are on Saturday. Twenty-minute practices are conducted prior to the game
each week. Your scheduled time is the start of practice.
What size footballs are used?
We use a Junior size football and the ball we use is the
"Wilson

For
the oldest division we use the Wilson NCAA 1005 Leather

Can I Coach or Volunteer?
We
need a parent to assist with player rotation. This is simple to do and a great
way to get involved! If you can help with this let your coach know, we
appreciate it!
