Players need 17 practices to be eligible to participate in our 1st game.They need 13 practices to be eligible for our 1st scrimmage &8 practices until they’re allowed to make contact inFull pads. If a practice is missed the player will be behind schedule. Players will need to wearmolded spikes (screw-in spikes/metal are illegal), bringwater and wear a cup to tryouts. All other football equipment besides belts will be provided by the school district. If players want to buy their own equipment or white game pants they can as long as they are approved by the coaching staff. The top 25 or so players will be called the ‘A’ Team. The rest of the team will be called the ‘B’ Team. The ‘A’ team will play the majority of the ‘A’ games. The ‘B’ team will play at the coaching staffs discretion and/or in the 5th quarter. It is usually unsafe to put ‘B’ team players in against our opponents ‘A’ team. Players must have a purple form on file with a physical that has occurred within the year from August 2015. If this is not on file, players will NOT be allowed to participate and will miss the tryouts, thus resulting in them NOT making the team.
