IMPORTANT INFORAMTION_______________

-The league is ENFORCING a maxium roster (30)! This a "REC" league and we believe that if a player chooses(Pays money) and wants to play with the RHINOS he should be able to!  UNFORTUNELTY we will be FORCED to make the FIRST CUT in "REC" league history!!!!LOL!! Sorry its NOT our choice. BUT the attention to our roster does speak VOLUMES about what we do as a FOOTBALL PROGRAM for OUR PLAYERS!

-January 19th, 2008 SIGNING DAY / FINAL CUTS

-There will be a MANDATORY MEETING on this date

-Bring a Picture ID to the meeting

-All perspective players will be GRADED based on 3 areas.

ATTITUDE - Are you a "Team Guy" or a "Me Guy", Are you a "Postive" and "Composed"  footabll player. Are you COACHABLE? 

ABILITY - Where do you fit in as far as our schemes and roster are concerned.  

ATTENDANCE- (Most Important) How many practices WILL YOU make time for. We dont get paid for this and we all have "lives" but that doesnt mean we SHOULD NOT WIN because of those obstacles. We need bodies at practice to get better for Games!!!!!!
