NO.

We understand that this is a family affair, and many families use the weekends as mini vacations.

All teams will travel to the same town to play the opponents. We have requested that our Mighty Mites team have Bye weeks when we play an opponent that is not going to field a team.

Practice will begin in the last week of July. Each player/cheerleader must have thier birth certificate, sports physical by a medical doctor, insurance form, fees, player/parent contract signed and picture to the Head Coach.

The athlete must complete 10 hours of supervised physical training BEFORE starting practice.

The practices for player/cheerleaders will usually be 4 days per week, 2 1/2 hours per day. Monday through Thursday from 5:30 to 8:00.

After school starts, practices are reduced to 3 days per week, 2 hours per day. Tuesday thru Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30. Please check with your coach for exact schedule.

The scheduled games are played for 10 consecutive Saturdays starting August 20th. Home start times are

8:45am for Mighty Mites;
10:00am for Jr. Pee Wee;
12:00pm for Pee Wee;
2:00pm for Jr. Midgets;
4:00pm for Midgets.

Away games vary depending on the opponent. Teams that make the playoffs will continue the season into mid November otherwise the season will end late October.

This needs to be decided by the parents of the child. There is an age and weight limit for each division.

Every precaution is taken by the coaches to assure your child is as safe as possible while on the field. It is the goal of all coaches to teach sound fundamentals and discipline to prevent injuries.

The kids that usually field a team will weigh as low as the minimum and as high as the maximum.

Please e-mail us if you would like more information from a head coach.

We will post sign-up days on the Dates to Remember Page.

Players/Cheerleaders may sign up any time after the first sign- up date, and until regular season starts in late August. As long as there are positions to be filled.

Fees for Players/Cheerleaders MUST be paid prior to the first practice in July.

The head coach or cheer advisor is responsible for your child while attending a practice, game or other authorized event.

NorCalFed rules state that non- authorized persons are NOT allowed on the practice field or game field. This is an insurance requirement.

Parents are responsible for thier children before and after practice or game .

While we appreciate your child's efforts on the field please be responsible by having them at practice/games on time and picking them up afterwards. The Yreka Chargers or NorCalFed takes no responsibility for children who have not been picked up in a timely fashion.

YES

Parent involvement is the back bone of the programs success.

Parents will need to volunteer thier time in some capacity during the season.

Areas that parents can help are :

Snack Shack Help
