MANDATORY PLAYER WEIGH IN/CERTIFICATION  There is an OFFICIAL MANDATORY WEIGH IN of all tackle football players.  All tackle football players are required to weigh in before the first official game of the season. No player will be allowed to play any games unless they are certified.  Location and times will be announced once we have the information.    LITTLE SCHOLAR   PYFL requires its participants to perform adequately in the classroom before permitting them to play.  PYFL offers a valuable added incentive for academic excellence outside of the educational community.  Please remember to keep and make a copy of your End of the year June 2011 Report Card! VOLUNTEERS (WE NEED YOUR HELP!)  As always, the success and growth of our program is dependent on all of our volunteers.  We thank those who have helped out in the past, and invite those who haven’t to help out this year.  For those of you who are new to the program, volunteering even 2-3 hours a week during practice or 1-2 hours during home games can be a big help.  Let us know that you are out there and we can all work together to see how we can best help the program.  All parents are expected to volunteer.  Our program is run solely by volunteers!!  Without the volunteers in our program we simply would not have a program!  In the information package you will have a Volunteer Sign Up Sheet. Anyone who comes in direct contact with the children MUST complete a Volunteers Form which requires a Background check. It is very important that checks be done, and the safety of your children.  E-MAIL UPDATES  If you would like to have email updates regarding the program sent to your inbox, please send an email to charles_simpson@dell.com to be added to the distribution list.  FUNDRAISING The funds raised through fundraiser will be used to defray expenses incurred during the season including, trophies, banquets, uniforms, travel, transportation, referees, permits, insurance, fields/facilities fees, etc.  Also, if a team(s) advances to playoffs or the Pop Warner National Super Bowl in Orlando, Florida additional fundraising will be required. Our fundraiser is MANDATORY participation for each participant in our program.     Children to learn and apply the principles of teamwork, discipline, dedication, and sportsmanship.
