GSJG 2013 Season

We are very pleased to announce that fees have dropped this season! As we did last season, football has different fees depending on the level of play and football camp is included. Football camp will be held the last full week of July. Be sure you attend this camp, as it counts toward your conditioning requirements.

For the Jr. Peewee/Peewee levels the total fee will be $155.00 and Jr. Midget/Midget levels will be $175.00. This year there will be family discounts for multiple players. Parents need to provide football players with the 3 or 5 pocket girdle, socks, and cleats.

For the Cheer teams, program fees have decreased also! The total fee is $150.00 which includes cheer camp and competition.

We have continued to offer online sign-ups. Visit our website www.gsjg.org to pay by credit card. You will be charged a $3.00 processing fee. You have the choice of paying participation fees in full or just the $50.00 registration fee. You will need to fill out the forms available online and mail them or deliver in person at any of our sign-up events.

Reduced Fee Scholarships will be offered again this season through our organization. We have a limited number of scholarships available. They will be awarded on a first come basis, so get yours in early! Information is available on the website and at sign-up events. No reduced fee scholarship applications will be accepted after June 1, 2013.

The non-refundable $50.00 registration fee is due at the time of sign-ups. We do have fundraising opportunities available to assist you in paying your fees. You can request a packet after you have registered.

FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES

We are offering the Sponsorship Drive Program that could mean significant savings to you. After you pay your non-refundable registration fee, earn credit toward your program/uniform fees as follows:

Ø GRIZZLY LEVEL SPONSOR – program fee waived and a credit of $100.00 applied to cheer uniform.

Ø GOLD LEVEL SPONSOR – program fee waived and a credit of $75.00 applied to cheer uniform.

Ø BLACK LEVEL SPONSOR – receives a credit of $50.00 to your program fees.

Ø CUB LEVEL SPONSOR – receives a credit of $20.00 to your program fees.

The program fee and uniform credit must be used for the same participant. All you need to do is use the sponsorship forms posted on our website to explain to potential sponsors that we are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in need of community support. Their donation may be tax deductible and there are advertising and other benefits.

So – The challenge is on!! Please do not send in sponsorship forms one at a time. If you are participating for a reduced cost season, they must be submitted in one envelope with all checks and forms included. BE SURE to put your child’s name on EACH Sponsorship form in order to insure your child receives credit.

RAFFLE

We will be offering the raffle of the Visa Gift Card again this season. There could be the possibility of more than one gift card if sale are high enough.

Raffle tickets: Earn a credit to your program fees in the amount of 50% of the raffle tickets sold. For example, if you sell 10 raffle tickets @ $5.00 each, you will receive a $25.00 credit to your program fees.

This fundraiser is easy. Sell the raffle tickets to family and friends all over the country. We chose a Visa Gift Card since it can be used virtually anywhere and for anything.

BRING A FRIEND

Get your friends to join the Jr. Grizzlies! When a friend who has never played for GSJG completes his/her registration, you will earn a $15.00 credit toward your program fees. There is no limit to how many friends you can bring; the more, the merrier! Please be sure your name is on their forms, so we can give you the discount.
