The 2009 Redskins Cheer Practice Schedule is available on the Practice Schedule link.  Please note these are "subject to change".  There will also be some indoor practices on Saturdays closer to our competitions.  Pee Wee Cheer is on a separate tab.

We've just learned that yet another Rochester Redskin will go on to play college ball.  Redskin Michael Sirosky will play football in the fall for The Case Western Spartans.

Hurry, Registration is Still Open for the following:

 If you're thinking of becoming a Redskin, now is the time!   Our Football Players and Cheerleaders are better prepared for the challenges and mentality it takes to play at the High School level and beyond.  Many of the starters and leaders at the local high schools are Redskins.   This is not by coincidence, the preparation and skills they've learned here allow them to step up in high school and lead their teams to victory!

On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to welcome you to the 2009 Rochester Redskins football and cheer season.  We are very excited about the upcoming season and have already had 5 full board meetings and numerous committee meetings since the banquet in November.  Our objective is to provide your child with a wonderful experience while they learn the sport of football and cheer.

We look forward to sharing our vision for the 2009 season with each of you at our annual Family Night which will be held on May 21, 2009 at 7pm in the Harrison Room of the School Administration Building.   Whether you are a new family or a long time Redskin family like ours (10 years) this is a very important meeting for all of our Redskin participants to attend.  I realize that there may be conflicts with other sports or activities but I would encourage you to make our Family Night a priority. 

Once again we had a tremendous amount of interest from new families about joining the Redskins.  We added as many kids as possible to our rosters for the 2009 season so we are full on most squads.  However, we still have a few openings for Varsity football and our Varsity, JV and Freshmen cheer teams.  If you are aware of a child who would like learn more about these openings please contact us.

We communicate extensively through email and our web site, www.rochesterredskins.com, so please make sure to check each of these on a frequent basis.  If you are interested in helping out our football teams as a Squad Director please contact Rob Okarski to learn more about this volunteer activity.

I look forward to seeing all of you on May 21st.  As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the appropriate board member.  Our contact information can be found on the web site.

Once a Redskin, Always a Redskin!!!

Scott Prechtel,

President
