Each team will scrimmage against other TCYFA teams in the division. A team will play 15 minutes on offense and 15 minutes on defense. The coaches will receive a more detailed schedule of the playing times / opponents for the their scrimmages.

The raffle drawing will take place somewhere around noon. You can turn in your raffle tickets at the concession stand up until the time of the drawing. Good luck on winning the cash!

Weigh In

The last opportunity for your player to complete his weigh in requirement for the season is this Wednesday, August 18, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the DeSoto High School football field. If your player does not complete this requirement, he will NOT be allowed to participate in any conference games. Allyson Mock and Robert Bruns from TCYFA will be at the event to assist your players. PLEASE DON’T FORGET THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATES!

Cougar Gear

The Cougar gear order was placed last Friday. We did order some extra pieces for those that missed the window for ordering gear. However, these items will be available on a first come, first serve basis. The shirts and sweatshirts should be delivered before the first conference game on August 28th. The hats will require an additional two weeks. Note that we do have some window decals available for purchase. They are $6 a piece or 2 for $10. Please see Allyson Mock if you are interested.

Ram’s Scrimmage

A number of the 11/12 year old parents attended the “extra” game last Saturday. We saw some other teams participate in the scrimmage and it was awesome! The players arrive on the field before the end of the half and were positioned close to the professional players. They were able to watch the end of the half from the field and then once the half ended, they immediately began their 6 minute scrimmage. We’re really excited for the opportunity this presents the players!

We do have a few tickets still available for both the 9 year old and the 11/12 year old games. If you are interested, please see Jill Graves for the 9 year old tickets and Allyson Mock for the 11/12 year old tickets.

Note that the “scrimmage team” practices will begin soon. The 9 year olds, who scrimmage at the Thursday, September 2nd, game will practice this Wednesday at Sunset Park from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The 11/12 game is not until Sunday, September 12 and we’ll notify you when they will begin practices.

Thanks and see you Tuesday!
