ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THE 2023 SEASON IS OPEN!!!
REGISTRATION COST
Registration cost for 2023 will remain the same: $200 per player, with a sibling discount of $50. Due to ever increasing costs, this season we will conduct one mandatory fundraiser. Families wishing not to participate in the mandatory fundraiser may do so with a $50 buyout, which is not due until the time the fundraiser is completed. Additional details on the fundraiser will be distributed once practices commence (in years past we have utilized R&K Subs, this year's fundraiser is TBD at this time).
PROGRAM OVERVIEW

SPRING/SUMMER WORKOUTS
We will again be holding voluntary spring and summer workout programs on a division by division basis. As in the past, our summer workout programs are free and open to any players in the appropriate age range, regardless of registration or prior experience. The goal of the spring and summer workouts will be to engage the kids in conditioning and non-contact football skills work in order to help prepare them for the upcoming season, while also providing an opportunity for new players and parents to start getting involved with the team program. These workouts will not involve 11 v. 11 work and will include only very limited concept installation designed to help prepare the players for offensive and defensive scheme installation once we have all the kids together in the fall.
We want to remind all of our players, coaches and parents that Spring and Summer workouts will not be a substitute for the player evaluation process which starts when mandatory practices commence, nor should parents feel that if other commitments prevent their player from attending the voluntary workout, that they would be disadvantaged. We do encourage all of our players to participate to the fullest extent possible as they will be a huge benefit to the teams once mandatory practices commence.
