Parent Meeting Tonight, Fundraiser Basket, Jersey Sizes, Black Pants, Weigh In Date....(and a partridge in a pear tree)...

Good afternoon, Football Family,

Just a reminder, there is a parent meeting tonight at 5:45 pm just before practice starts at Washington Elementary.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting those of you new to our team this year!

Following is some additional information:

JERSEY SIZES:

• I am passing around a sheet of paper tonight for you to fill out for JERSEY SIZES.  Please note that we want the jerseys to fit tight (ESPECIALLY for the QBs, RBs, and WRs) so that it will be more difficult for defenders to tackle them (they can slide off easier).  I'm planning to pick up the jerseys this week so I need these sizes ASAP.  I will bring a few jerseys tonight of different sizes to help you decide.  Also please double-check the spelling of your son's last name on this sheet for the embroidery.

BLACK PANTS:

• Please please please have your son try on his black pants from last year as soon as possible to see if they fit.  If not, another boy on the team may be able to use them.  Bring them to practice this week if they no longer fit and we can see how many boys are still in need of them. 

FUNDRAISER BASKET:

• The picnic and Fundraiser is Saturday, August 16th at Bountiful Park.  We are going to do a FITNESS / SPORTS / WELLNESS basket.  I will be donating free passes and a personal training session from the South Davis Recreation Center.  Items that I would love to be donated for our basket can be anything Fitness / Sports & Rec / Wellness related.

-Ideas:  Yoga mat, kettlebell, weights, iPod, iTunes gift cards, gift cards from Sports Authority or Dick's or Big 5, football, soccer ball, massage gift certificates, etc.

This is the league's only fundraiser so your generosity is greatly appreciated.  Our goal for the basket value is $150.   I will start collecting items tonight up through the Friday before the picnic (8/15).

WEIGH-IN DATE:

• The weigh-in date is Thursday, August 14 at 6:15 pm. Please have your son there at 5:45 pm.  Location TBD. Your son must weigh 140 lbs or less.  At 141+, he will be an X-Man. 

Because weigh-ins are on a Thursday evening, we will NOT have practice that Thursday night but will have it the following SATURDAY, 8/16/14 from 9 am - 11 am.

Thank you so much for your help in getting all of this start-of-season housekeeping done smoothly and quickly!

As always, please contact / text me with ANY questions!
