Spring Fundraiser & Fall Registration Updates
by Amanda on
Happy Friday!
As our spring season is starting, I have just a few annoucements to go through.
1) CYFL is having a "Dine and Donate" event at Texas Roadhouse on Tuesday, May 6th. Attached is the flyer so dine in that day and show this flyer between 3pm and 10pm and CYFL will get 10% of your total food order back. We are a non-profit organization so we rely on donations and fundraisers to help keep our league going so please share this with your friends, family, and coworkers!
2) Fall registration is officially open! As a reminder, we offer cheerleading, flag football for K-2nd grade, and tackle football for 3rd-6th grades. Please head over to the website (www.columbiayouthfootball.com) and get registered today. Registration will close on July 15th. If you are planning on applying for a DayDreams scholarship for the fall season, DayDreams will not start reviewing applications until May 15th, but you are welcome to submit your information earlier. Please reach out to Amanda (cyfl.footballsecretary@gmail.com) and Julie (cyfltreasury@gmail.com) if you plan to apply for DayDreams as we will have a different registration process for you to go through.
3) Coaches - coaching is on a "first come, first serve" basis so if you want to guarantee that you have a team to coach in the fall, you need to let me know your intentions ASAP! This will make fall registrations run a lot more smoothly and will also let us know sooner rather than later if we need to find more coaches for certain grades. You can either send me an email, text message, or a private message in GroupMe.
Other important fall season dates to note:
-rosters will be sent to coaches the week of July 21st
-practices will start July 28th
-tackle equipment hand-out will be the week of August 4th - I will create a SignUp Genius and coaches will pick a day/time for their team to come get equipment. Coaches MUST be an attendance and help with equipment hand-out, in order to ensure players get the right sized equipment.
-Jamboree for tackle teams in Jefferson City is August 16-17th
-First game will be August 24th
-Labor Day weekend with be a bye week
-Playoffs will be October 19th (pending weather/make-up games)
-Championships will be October 26th (pending weather/make-up games)
As always, if there are any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out!
Thanks!
