There will be only one big change for 2010, we are going to take both 5 and 6 year olds for the Flag Division, we will give preference to the 6 year olds signing up, however we are hoping to fill 2 Flag Squads, one Jags Flag and one Jets Flag. The Bucks Flag name will be retired. That will give each team 4 Squads of football and 4 squads of Cheerleaders. The Flag Squads will be limited to 12 players on a roster and the Cheer Squads will roster 6 girls on each team. So players and cheerleaders will start as either a Jaguar or a Jet right from their first experience in the league.

Mail In registration will begin for RETURNING players and cheerleaders on April 1st. The forms will be emailed or regular mailed on that date. The first Walk In Registration for RETURNERS will be Sunday, April 18th, 2010 from 1:00-3:00PM at the Liverpool Community Center. Returning players and cheerleaders who have siblings that wish to participate may be signed up during Mail In or Walk In, however a copy of their birth certificate MUST accompany the form.

Fees for the 2010 Season remain the same as last year $100 for Tackle Football and Cheerleading. And $40.00 for Flag Football and Cheerleading. There is a $10.00 family discount for each player/cheerleader after the first player/cheerleader is signed up.

We will be having a couple of fund raisers for Field Fund, one of which is the Honey Baked Ham fundraiser. We also have a tenative date of August 14th for a "Night At The Races". More details will be forth coming soon for that. We are also exploring having a couple of pancake breakfasts.

Practice for the Varsity and JV players will begin with Conditioning to be held from Tuesday, July 27th through Thursday, July 29th from 6:30 until 8:00PM. Practice for Flag, Pee Wee and all Cheer Squads will begin on August 2nd at 6:30PM.

A group of players from Buckeye Youth Football coached by Bill Graham and Greg Thomas captured the Medina Indoor Flag Football U9 Division for the Winter Session. They went 5-2 on the seaon and won the Championship game over a Medina Squad by a score of 19-7. Nice job to all of you!

Buckeye Youth Football again wants to express their appreciation to Dick's Sporting. Over the last 4 seasons they have donated footballs and other equipment for our players and coaches, coupons for special promotions in order for our players to purchase shoes, etc. in their stores, and they partnered with the Cleveland Browns to provide tickets to preseason games in 2007 & 2008. The also provided 'Dick's Dollars' for the league to purchase items that we need for the program.

We also want to say thanks to Jags Pee Wee Coach Jon Stahl also since he is the person at Dick's that makes it happen for our players and cheerleaders. We look forward to having their backing in future seasons. You can visit their website by clicking on their logo above.
