Practices

• Practices will begin Friday, August 1st. For the first 3 full weeks of practices, they may be held Monday through Friday with optional Saturday practices. After that, practices may be held 3 nights per week. Specific days and times of practices will be determined by the coaches and communicated at a team level.
• During the month of August, especially, playing football in the heat, and in full pads and helmet is very hot! Please make sure to send plenty of water with your player, and coaches will be sure to give plenty of water breaks.
• Players should arrive 10-15 minutes early to every practice to give them time to get ready and start practice on time
• Bring helmet, pads, practice jersey, football pants, cleats, mouthguard, gloves and water!
• Each of our practice fields requires us to park in designated parking spots ONLY. We will lose these fields if we do not comply. Please do not obstruct entrances, park in bus lanes, etc. These practice fields will be assigned once we know how many teams we have to work with. 
• Please make sure to let your coach know in advance if you will be late or missing practice/games
• Games are EVERY SATURDAY, INCLUDING LABOR DAY WEEKEND, and you will need to plan to be in town for all games

TRYOUTS : Monday-Thursday, July 28-31st from 5-8pm @ Galena Park
