This program will focus on both the fundamentals of tackle football as well as running plays. Each player will need to provide their own tennis shoes or cleats (no metal spikes). All other equipment will be provided, including mouthguard, as players will not be allowed to use their own equipment. All football gear will remain in the Middle School locker room throughout most of the season. Team rosters will be created by coaches and change weekly. Players will get to experience playing other teams in the surrounding area (ACGC, Litchfield, Rockford & HLWW). DC will host some of the games as well as travel as the visiting team. Parents will be responsible to transport their child to/from games. Participants will also get to play during half-time of the home varsity game on October 14; players and parents will get in free to the game.
Players can also participate in the Kick, Pass & Punt Night on September 20 from 6:15-7:15 pm at the football stadium, if they so choose.
