Squires Awarded $10,000 PA State Grant
State Grant
In 2008, State Senator Stewart Greenleaf has again sponsored the North Penn Athletic Association for a $10,000 grant from the State of Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development. The grant, which was received in November 2008, was requested in May 2008.  The money is earmarked for additional Squires building improvements which rounds out our three-phased improvement plan started in 2005.  Senator Greenleaf presented the check at the Cameron Fieldhouse dedication ceremony on November 8th.  Senator Greenleaf noted that he enjoys sponsoring these grants because they allow non-profits three or four-fold improvements since organizations like the Squires can multiply the benefits through "sweat equity."   Thanks to Senator Greenleaf, who was presented with a Squires pullover jacket and declared a "North Penn Squire for life" by President Tom Rinck.

Celebrating 35 Years of Dedication
1974 Team Photo 3
In 2008, the North Penn Athletic Association will have a year-long celebration of 35 years of dedication to the youth of the North Penn area.  The NPAA was established in 1972 and incorporated in 1973.  We will be celebrating our past as we also focus on our future.  As part of that celebration, we will be dig into our archives for photos like this one from 1974 that shows two young players who are still with organization, now in a coaching capacity.  It is folks like Mike and Wayne, and their parents before them, that have made the NPAA so successful for so long!

Squires AD Attends Forum at Eagles Camp
Tom USA Football

The Eagles and USA Football played host to the first annual Youth Football Regional Forum on Sunday, April 29th. With approximately 20 different area youth football leagues represented, presidents and league officials gathered to discuss current issues, and met coach Andy Reid.  The North Penn Squires were well represented with Tom Rinck, our Athletic Director (second from left).  The Squires have been an active member of USA Football since their inception.  We received a $1500 grant from them last year which was used to purchase new shoulder pads.

USA Football is an independent non-profit organization whose purpose is to support and expand football at all amateur levels. They received initial funding from the National Football League and the NFL Players Association, through the NFL Youth Football Fund.  USA Football does not operate any leagues or teams. Their mission as a national advocacy organization is to support and enhance the development and operation of leagues, teams, coaches, parents and players across the United States with resources and best practices such as coaching and health & safety information.  Jack Kemp, former U.S. Congressman and All-Pro quarterback who led the Buffalo Bills to the 1964 and 1965 AFL Championship, is USA Football's Chairman.

The Squires will continue their affiliation with USA Football in 2007 and beyond.
