***Players must report at least one hour before game time unless another time is specified by their coach*** This is very important because the players are required to weigh in an hour before the game starts. If your child does not weigh in, they cannot play that day. This time will also allow for your child to be stretched properly and warm up as a team. Please make sure your child has a water bottle or drink for the game. Best advice- Be prepared and arrive early!
Many people are needed to participate at every home game to help with concessions, MPRs, chains, and clean up. See your team mom to get your time assigned. It takes us all coming together to make this a successful year for the kids. Please help and do your part. Our kids love when we get involved and show interest in their success!
Go Cobras!
