Time to Get Motivated

Sometimes I have "Wow, I wish I'd written that" moments. This is more of a "I wish I'd said that" moment, but still...

Third Registration Saturday

The third FCCJC sign up is this Saturday, June 25th, from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., out at the Heritage Football complex at 162nd and Pflumm. Both Coach Roediger and I will be out there this Saturday. Coach Roediger is covering the afternoon, and I have the mid-day slot starting at about 11 a.m. So if you have questions about 6th grade football, Saturday is a great opportunity to sign up!

We had eight more players register at the second registration, bringing us to 29 so far. The 4th grade teams are next closest, with 20 signed up to date. Three more of our new 6th grade players are brand new to tackle football!  We continue to monitor the numbers, but at this point it still appears that we will have four teams again (including Coach Swinford's in the Blue Valley league.)  At the bottom of this post find a list of those that have signed up so far in FCCJC.

To get signed up for football, you need

• Your son, for weigh-in and equipment fitting if renting
• Proof of age and grade. This can be
• His player card from a previous season, OR
• A copy of his birth certificate and a copy of a grade card from this year
• A credit card or check to pay the equipment rental fee ($60) at the sign up, if you will be renting equipment

You may optionally bring

• Your own shoulder pads and helmet if you are not renting. They must be checked by FCCJC before you can practice wearing them.
• An FCCJC Equipment Reimbursement Request form. If you are renting your equipment, and your family is suffering from financial hardship, you may be eligible for an equipment fee reimbursement. Turn in that filled out form with your rental check or credit card payment to apply for reimbursement.
• Funds ($165) to pay the league fee (credit card or check) if you wish to pre-pay. You will still receive raffle tickets that you can sell to offset the league fee, but many parents prefer to pay at sign-up time. If you choose not to pay at this time, the league fee check must be turned in to your coach or team administrator by August 3rd.
• Funds ($20) to pay for a physical examination at the sign up. You may also use your own doctor by getting them to fill out this physical form. The physical form is to be handed to the coach at or before the first practice.

Based on the first two sign-ups, the lines really die down about 11:00 a.m. - you can pretty much get right through, very little waiting.

The next available registration date is Saturday, July 9th.

Second Registration Saturday

We had 21 register at the first FCCJC registration for 6th grade football. That was by far the most of any grade in our area. Three of those players are brand new to tackle football! We are monitoring the numbers, but at this point it appears that we will have four teams again (including Coach Swinford's in the Blue Valley league) though the teams may be a little larger than they were last year. At the bottom of this post find a list of those that have signed up so far in FCCJC.

The second FCCJC sign up is this Saturday, June 11th, from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., out at the Heritage Football complex at 162nd & Pflumm.  To get signed up for football, you need

• Your son, for weigh-in and equipment fitting if renting
• Proof of age and grade. This can be
• His player card from a previous season, OR
• A copy of his birth certificate and a copy of a grade card from this year
• A credit card or check to pay the equipment rental fee ($60) at the sign up, if you will be renting equipment

You may optionally bring

• Your own shoulder pads and helmet if you are not renting. They must be checked by FCCJC before you can practice wearing them.
  
• An FCCJC Equipment Reimbursement Request form. If you are renting your equipment, and your family is suffering from financial hardship, you may be eligible for an equipment fee reimbursement. Turn in that filled out form with your rental check or credit card payment to apply for reimbursement.

Based on the first sign up, the lines really die down about 11:00 a.m. - you can pretty much get right through, very little waiting.

The next available registration date is Saturday, June 25th.

Coach Todd Dain of Olathe Northwest will be the head coach of an FCCJC football camp out at Heritage Park next week. Seems like it will be a fun camp. You can see the brochure by clicking this link.
