TACKLE PRACTICE for 2009 BEGINS MONDAY AUGUST 3rd !!!
CAYFL could not be as strong, and successful as it is, without the countless hours that so ...so...many volunteers have "given back" to the children that participate in the Tackle, Flag and Cheer programs in their local Associations.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP ???
Every Association will continue to need many volunteers to continue the season, no matter if you can only donate one hour per week, five hours per week, ten hours per week, or more...
Volunteers are needed to help at the "TEAM" level, at the "ASSOCIATION" level, at the "LEAGUE" level, and even at the "REGIONAL" level.
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR TEAM BUSINESS MANAGER,or your LOCAL ASSOCIATION BOARD,or LEAGUE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS, to donate any time to the fasest growing youth football program in Pinal, Gila, Yavapi and Maricopa counties...
We wish everyone the best of luck this season...
