C) We do not cash the equipment deposit check unless equipment is not returned at the end of the year. When equipment is returned you will receive your un-cashed check back along with all items in your file. We do not retain personnel information from year to year.

A) Practices are Tuesday and Thursday nights from 5:30pm to 8:00pm. When school starts the times change from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. Also towards the end of the season it will start to get dark before 7:30pm and practices will be shorter.
B) For the first two weeks of practice the players will be required to practice 4 days per week. Monday thru Thursday, this is to get in our mandatory 10 hrs of non contact practices and 10 hrs of contact practices before we can play games.
C) Games are Saturday mornings from 8:00am until 2:00pm. Games last 1.5 hrs roughly and will be scheduled inside that time frame and will differ from one week to another.

A) We will refund your registration fee up to the official weigh-in day which occurs during equipment pick up. That date usually falls around the first week of August.

A) It is a blind draft every year.
B) All registrations get enter into a program called “League One” which we are mandated to use from Pop Warner. This program sorts players by age, weight and experience and puts them into the appropriate division.
C) Once we receive the above list we than have to assemble a coaching staff for each team, remove their sons or daughters from the main list, and separate by division.
D) We first make sure each division has enough players to host the amount of teams in each division and then we start a draft with the criteria to have all teams as equal as possible. This is not an easy task, especially in the younger divisions where primarily all players are new to the league. It is not a perfect system but we do the best we can with the tools we have.

A) The player is required to buy a mouth piece with an attachment to the helmet. The mouth piece must have a color to it, it can not be clear. We do sell mouth guards at equipment pickup but there is a limited amount, we recommend buying more than one because they get chewed up in a hurry.
