2008 Season Overview - The 2008 season for Cheer and Football requires participants to attend T-Bird Day, Sunday, July 27, 2008, to pick-up their equipment, have their league photographs taken and league cards signed. The location of T-Bird Day will be announced at a later date. The times for T-Bird Day are as follows: ages 10 and under from 9:00 a.m.- 10:30 a.m.; 11-12 year-olds from 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.; and 13 -14 year-olds from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Football and Cheer practice starts Friday, August 1st. Unless otherwise noted, all practices will be held at Monte Vista High School. The tryout/practice schedule will be as follows: Football:
Cheer: Practice will be held every week night in August beginning August 1 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. All Participants: Once the season begins, practices for both football and cheer are held three times a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Monte Vista High School. The regular football season starts on September 6, 2008 with games played on Saturdays and go through November 1, 2008. Some games may be played on Sundays (rare) if there is a league conflict. Playoffs follow League play. The League Championships (The Turkey Bowl) is scheduled for November 22, 2008. Please be aware that the season can potentially last until November 22, 2008 due to playoffs and the championship game. Attendance at playoff games as well as the Turkey Bowl is MANDATORY for football players as well as cheerleaders if your team goes that far. Please plan accordingly. The Teams There are five teams within T-Birds Football/Cheer:
Football Squads & Football Tryouts: Each football squad will consist of a minimum of 30, but no more than 35 players, at the head coach’s discretion. If there are more than 35 participants trying out for a Football squad, cutting players may be necessary. This would occur after all players are evaluated by their coaching staff, in conjunction with approval of the Athletic Director and President. The T-Bird organization is sensitive to the impact of cutting young players and will do their best to minimize any negative effects on participants. As indicated above in the Season Overview, final Football cuts will be made on August 25, 2008. However, a player may be "released" earlier from the August tryouts if in the view of the Athletic Director and in consultation with the coaches, a football player’s “safety” is a concern. The coaching staff and Athletic Director may also do preliminary cuts at their discretion. The first five days of practice will be devoted to “league mandated” conditioning, after which, the practices will be held in “pads and helmets”. A “scrimmage” may also be held on either August 15 or 16 to help our coaches evaluate the kids before the final cut on August 25. During the August tryouts, coaching staffs will be getting to know the players, their abilities, where they might best contribute to the team, and ultimately who will make the team. If you have any questions during tryouts, regarding your player or the process, please communicate with the Head Coach, or the Athletic Director if necessary. 2008 FOOTBALL- League Age/Weight Chart (Revised 4/9/08 per league rule change) Scout Program*: % |
