Playing Time F.A.M.I.L.Y TOUGHNESS EFFORT DISCIPLINE FINISH

Playing Time: 9/10/JV: All Players that commit to the program, and our healthy will play. Commitment means being at and fully participating in all practices and having a positive attitude. Playing time will be fair, but not always equal. Varsity Football is based on attitude and ability. Efforts are made to play as many athletes as possible, but no guarantees.

Concussion Prevention F.A.M.I.L.Y TOUGHNESS EFFORT DISCIPLINE FINISH

Prevention: We strengthen all of are players necks. I am USA Football Certified (National level) Teach proper technique and not use our head. No helmet your son will wear is older than 6 years old. By not starting tackle football until 6th grade we give our players time for their brain to develop. Limited contact in practice. We only go live on game days. Tackling Technique called “Hawk and Shoulder Tackle”. Tackle Wheels to eliminate contact on our athletes. F.A.M.I.L.Y TOUGHNESS EFFORT DISCIPLINE FINISH
