It is a great day as we now have voted for who will be your head coaches for your Seneca Falls Junior Football teams...
| Scott Youngs | A football team |
| Tim Triplett | B football team |
| Gill Santana | C football team |
| Pete Van Echaute | Flag football team |
Please join me in welcoming your new head football coaches!
Thank you all for a great 2012 season! April is the time we start searching for our 2013 coaches. The way this works is that we figure out who is our volunteers for the positions and from there, the board will select the head coaches. All assistant coaches should also sign up now to complete the certification process on time. So contact me at pvanechaute@yahoo.com and I can give you all of the information you need to start the process. Please let me know which level you want to coach and if you want the head coach or an assistant coach. Our teams are nothing without the AWESOME coaches! So support the children and contact me! 8^)
At this point, I know that the B football head and the Flag cheer head coaches are not filling out applications to return in 2013 for work commitments. Also, pass the word as we DO have enough kids to make an A-team for football. We need more kids on the A and B teams. Let's work together and fill those child and coach slots.
FLYFCL has changed the guidlines on how our teams will be formed this year. Below is the info reguarding how the teams will be formed. Basically, we have removed weight limitations from the teams and made it an age and grade based structure like all other contact sports, including high school football...
A player must meet the age and grade requirements of a division (flag, C, B, A) to be eligible to play in that division. The official FLYFCL, Inc. Division Age and Grade requirements for eligibility are charted below.
FLAG: 5, 6 & 7 year olds going into Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades.
C Squad: 8-10 year olds going into 3rd and 4th grades.
B Squad: 10-12 year olds going into 5th and 6th grades.
A Squad: 12-14 year olds going into 7th and 8th grades.
*A player is eligible to play up one level with the clubs board and parent approval. No player is eligible to play down. No player is eligible to play if in high school (9th grade).
Just to clarify the grade levels listed are in regards to the grade the player will be going in to for the upcoming school year of that season.
League Age is defined as the players age on December 1 of the current year. This applies to all divisions.
The birth dates are as follows:
12/1/02 - 11/30/00 = A Team
12/1/04 - 11/30/02 = B Team
12/1/06 - 11/30/04 = C Team
12/1/08 - 11/30/06 = Flag
University of Rochester Youth Football Clinic
June 24th - June 27th With a number of college coaches and Division 1 athletes.
Our club is sad to see Warren Owens and Jennifer Cooledge leave the area with their wonderful children. Our program will surely miss you with all of the time you folks have done for us (and we do
love all of our volunteers out there, so thx). Warren is our current Program Director and would have done our Mic announcing at home games in 2013. Jennifer would have been our assistant
Concession Director for 2013. You still have time to bail out of those plans to leave. 8^)
Well, this means we have those two positions available to be filled by other willing volunteers out there; Program and assistant Concession Director. Both positions are demanding in their own
ways. You can check out our By-Laws for full definitions of those positions. The
Program Director ensures out insurance papers and claim processes are all handled correctly. That person is also desired to handle the publications such as the Website.
We also have Tim Triplett leaving the area too. And how many in our program have been coached by this guy? I'm guessing over 50% of them. So sorry to lose ya and wish you the best. We just hope not to see you on one of our competitor's sidelines.
This leaves a vacantcy of another At Large Member. We needs these folks for just blanketly helping out with things that person wants to do. Random jobs are a HUGE thing in organizations. So raise your hand, so that you can raise your hand.
Cheers
What an incredible turn out for the Super Bowl Sunday early registration event!!! We had 42 sign-ups that day alone. We also have 22 more sign-ups earlier that that event. So the total early registrations are 64!!!
Let's keep the momentum going forward with passing the word onto friends. During the Spring, we will be hosting regular registration events. So pass the word out that there is still time to sign-up and play the game we all love.
And remember, this is the first year we will have an A team. We have half of a team as of today. So let's work together as a town and form a solid set of teams. With a set of teams offering an A, B, C and Flag, we wouldn't have the need to drive as far on our away games.
So let's put our best foot foward and make this happen for a great 2013!!!
