Grades for Tackle Football: 2nd-8th
Football Equipment Note: Families playing tackle football need to make sure they have all the equipment purchased and ready for August 8. All players will need a white helmet w/chin strap, mouth guard, shoulder pads, black football pants, cup w/ supporter, and cleats. We will have most of the football gear available for purchase at our weigh-in events. However, helmets will again be tough to come by this season. We recommend those needing a helmet to make arrangements to purchase one early to make sure your ready for the season. Visit our Parents Guide for more information.
