Practices for all divisions of football, cheerleading & flag football will start on Monday, July 21st. Please arrive at the practice field(1 block North of 77th & Narragansett Ave.) by 5:15PM. Please wear a short sleeved shirt, shorts, spikes for football & gym shoes for cheerleading. Please have your child(ren) bring a filled water bottle with them.

Please take the following steps to ensure your child(ren) are ready for practices & games when it is hot outside.

1. Make sure you child(ren) are in an air-conditioned envrionment for 2 hours before arriving to practice/game. This will give their bodies enough time to cool down from any activities that they had been participating in earlier that day.
2. Make sure they drink plenty of water starting 2 hours prior to practice. This will prevent them from dehydrating during practices/games.
3. Make sure they bring fluids with them to practice. Water, gatorade or propel are acceptable.

Inform your child(ren) if they start feeling sick at practice or a game that they tell their coach immediately.

A coach will call you if practice has been canceled due to the heat and/or any other conditions.

The Team Parent Coordinator position is currently open. Please go to the Titan bylaws, located in handouts, for a description of the position. If interested, please contact President Mark Mellenthin @ 708-430-0792.
