Hi Parents,

We are changing up the schedule for next Saturday, 8/4.  We will NOT hold our Skills & Conditioning Session.  Thank you for coming out. It was a huge success.  We need to focus on equipment handout now.

We will begin equipment handout at 9:30am and go until around noon.  The handout will be at the back of the concession stand near the football practice field.  Feel free to stagger your arrival times and please be patient if there is a crowd.

We will be organized accordingly:

1/  Check-in table

·         Pay any remaining balance by check or money order made out to “Cherokee Youth Football”.  You may pay by credit card on the website by Friday, 8/3.  We will not have the ability to take credit cards at the field.

·         Provide deposit check for $100 made out to “Cherokee Youth Football”.  This check will not be cashed.

·         Provide DMV ID

·         Sign RCYFL Code of Conduct

·         Sign USA Football waiver

·         Request jersey # (no guarantees)

·         We will get measurements from the boys, but will not handout equipment until all fees and deposits are complete.

2/ Helmet fitting station

·         Helmet sizing.  The helmets will be handed out.

3/ Jersey, pants, and socks station

·         Jersey size fitting.  Bring shoulder pads for proper fitting.  The practice jersey will be handed out.  The game jersey will be ordered.

·         Pants size fitting.  Pants will be tried on in the bathroom.  The game pants will be ordered.

·         Socks fitting.  We need the player’s shoe size.  The game socks will be ordered.

Please let us know if you will NOT make it for equipment handout.  We encourage everyone to come Saturday.  The coaches will be on the field for practice next week.  We will do our best to get equipment handed out for those who cannot make it Saturday, but will only be able to do a few every night due to time constraints.

You will need to provide shoulder pads, cleats, practice pants (preferably black), and a mouthpiece (suggest 2 for the season).  We have new helmets but they came with cloth chin straps.  I recommend getting a hard shell chin strap.

Practice starts Monday, 8/6 at 6:15pm until 8:15pm.  We will be on the baseball field for the first week.  (Trinity V and JV will be on the football practice field that week.)  See attached chart for what you will need for the first week of practice.

Thanks for being part of Cherokee Youth Football!  We are excited about the season!

Go Titans!
