Q: When are the weigh-ins for the upcoming 2024 season?
A: We have held 3 weigh in’s over the past few months. The last available option is to come early, 5:00 p.m., to parent orientation on July 18th at Mill Creek Elementary. *If you have NOT attended the previous weigh-ins, you must come early to parent orientation to weigh-in for your child to be placed on a team.
Q: How long do weigh-ins take?
A: The average time spent on the weigh-in process is 15 minutes or less.
A: Weigh-In’s are mandatory for a player to attend because a committee member must confirm they are within the age and weight requirements, athlete’s playing tackle football will be fitted for a helmet, flex-flag players will be sized for helmets and pads, and cheerleaders are fitted for uniforms. If an athlete isn’t sized for the appropriate equipment, they are not eligible to play. We order the exact amount of equipment before practices start.
A: Unfortunately, no. Committee members are trained and experienced in fitting athletes with the appropriate equipment to meet all safety requirements. We understand everyone has a busy schedule. That is why we mentioned the dates and times of the weigh-in dates throughout the online registration process as well as scheduled them in different months, days, and times to accommodate the majority of families hopefully.

Q: What time are practices and how long are they?

For the rest of the season tackle will be 4 days a week for 1 1/2 hrs, Flex will be up to 3 practices per week for 1 hour each.
Cheer: The cheerleader's practices begin August 5th coinciding with their assigned tackle team. 5 days a week for 2 hours the first two weeks. Then four days a week 1 1/2 hours. Specific days and times are to be determined by the coaching staff. Seven football Saturdays are beginning August 24th through October 20th.
