Welcome to the home page of the Franklin Pee Wee Football and Cheerleading Organization. This is our 44th year of Pee Wee sports. Please keep in mind that we are strictly a volunteer organization and we all invest many hours to keep this organization going in addition to having families and full time jobs. The more people that volunteer, the better our season will go.

Parents,
As we enter the last week of the regular season, I wanted to pass along some information. Hopefully all of you and your players are enjoying the season. Like any youth sports organization, there are issues that need to be addressed when problems arise. Franklin Pee Wee Football is run by a board of directors. This board, after the initial rules meetings, makes all financial and operational decisions throughout the season. Recently out board met and voted on some issues.
One of them was the selection of all-star coaches. The board voted on and approved the following coaches for the teams.
7U- Jeff Johnson (Wee Cats)
8U – Rusty Bowermaster (LD Hornets)
9U – Bob Knipper (LD Cats)
10U – Tony Etter (UD Hornets)
12U – Shawn Crase (UD Bucs)
Our annual Franklin Fall Classic will be held on November 6, 7, & 8. Game times will be announced on a later date. For those of you that have never been involved with pee wee football, I will explain the All-Star selection process. The association rule for coaches is that anyone could nominate a coach. Out of the nominations, the board selects a head coach. That head coach then selects his or her assistant coaches. Players are nominated by their regular season coaches. The All-Star coaching staff then selects a team out of the nominations for the tournament. Just because a player gets nominated, it does not mean they make the team. The all-star coaches have the final say on the team. This season, it will cost each all-star player $30 to play on the all-star team. The player will be able to keep their jersey after the game. Hopefully I have answered any questions concerning the all-star process.
The board also looked at the age categories for the all-star tournament. The board, by vote, decided to keep the age categories for our tournament the same as our regular season. I am letting all parents know this so the rumor of we will be going by grade is put to rest.
Last weekend was parent’s day and homecoming. If you missed having your photo taken with your player, we will be taking them again this Saturday. Some teams had a miscommunication as far as receiving pictures. Your team moms have the information.
As the season comes to a close, I just wanted to let you know of some important dates to remember. We will be having our annual banquet for the teams on Nov 10, 11, and 12. This is when we will recognize sponsors, super bowl champs, super bowl runners up, and all of the players.
Also, we are currently in the infant stages of planning an end of the year fundraiser for the organization. It will be a dance/Texas Hold em Tournament. If you have any ideas or donations for a raffle, please feel free to email me. As I mentioned earlier, this is in the planning stages and is not written in stone.
Since we are entering our last week for the regular season, we will be selling the remainder of all the extra game jersey’s, last year’s all-star jersey’s and any remaining 2009 Franklin Pee Wee T-shirts. If you would like one of these items, please purchase them this weekend as this could be the last weekend for the sales.
If you have any ideas, questions, or concerns with anything, please email me and I will try to address them. Please help us by passing this information on to the other parents on your team who do not have email.
Thanks Jason

Many people think that selling homecoming tickets is a fundraiser for the cheerleaders. It is not. In addition to puchasing tickets to be sold, tiaras and sashes for the 6 queens and 1 princess, crowns and sashes for the 6 kings and 1 prince, we award prize money for each ticket. Each king/queen ticket is awarded 50.00 and the prince/princess ticket is awarded 25.00 for a total of 750.00. We are NOT trying to raise money. This has NOTHING to do with the cost of cheerleading sign-ups. Our hope every year is to break even. Unfortunately we will not meet that goal again this year.
