Looking Towards Next Fall

It may be wintertime, but football season will be here in a few more months.  This is a good time to restock on equipment.  There are good prices on last season's pants and shoulder pads at Taho Sports.  Still working on getting that purchase worked out.

I'm working on when to set the registration start date.  Would like to communicate this to Joady Tombarge at community services.  This way it shows up on the Spring/Summer bulletin which goes out.  Her deadline for me is Feb. 22.  It seems like we always get those flyers in May, so I'm thinking of mid-May.  Online registration only.  We can weigh players in when they pick up their equipment in July.  For grades 2-6, there are weight limits.  Players over the limit wear a red stripe on their helmet.  They are not allowed to carry the football.

Also, I am thinking about how best to communicate registration timelines to the community.  I'm re-wording the registration flyer to include a more strongly-worded statement about the waiting list.  We had a cut-off deadline last year of July 15th, and people thought this meant their boy could play as long as they registered before then.  With registration taking place in June, the spots for the 2/3 and 4th grade teams filled up by then.   Another means of communication is a Facebook page I just created.  Here, registration news and events will be posted.  Also, I have been talking to John Foley about getting football registration yard signs.
