Football & Cheer

PRACTICE

Typically the season runs from July - October. During summer break, practices are from 5:30 PM  -  7:30 PM four days per week, decreasing to three days per week once school begins.

It is extremely important parents do everything possible for your child to not miss practice. If your child will be late or absent to practice, please notify your coach or team mom immediately as this can affect your child's game playing time.

Cheer practice typically occurs during the same time frame or at a nearby school.

Your child is responsible for making sure they have their mouthpiece, protective cup, cleats, game pants, helmet, shoulder pads, ect.
