    GEJFA 2010 Conferences

    Rookie Green Families - This year our Skyline Rookie Green team is in the GEJFA "C" Conference. Here you can see the other teams we will be playing against this upcoming year.

    Parent Meeting 7/19/2010

    Coach Mike and I enjoyed meeting most of you today at equipment pick-up.

    We are looking forward to meeting the rest of you tomorrow at the parents meeting.

    I have only heard from two families that will not be able to make tomorrow's Parent Meeting (Abrahamsen / Hines). Please let me know if you are not going to be able to join us so we can plan accordingly for pizza / drinks. Please arrive around 5:00 and find Shannon or Connie to get checked in and receive your handouts. At that point, will be collecting the $20 per family for the food and ask you socialize for the first 15 minutes or so and introduce yourself to the team members.

    If your boys received their jersey's at today's equipment pick-up, please encourage them to wear them to the parent meeting to show team unity. Also, if your boys have a football, please have them bring it so that we can have them all out playing in the grassy area while we cover some of the parent information.

    Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow evening.

    Parent Meeting & Football Kickoff

    Parents, players and siblings -

    Again welcome to the Skyline Rookie Green Team. We will be having our Parent Meeting & Football Kickoff from 5:00-9:00 (or when the kids get tired) on the 19th of July (Blog Calendar Updated) at the Beaver Lake Pavilion. The Pavilion offers us a covered space in case it rains and tons of grass for the boys to play a little two hand touch while we have our meeting. We are asking everyone to bring $20 to cover your family's portion of Pizza and Pop that we will be bringing so that no one has to slave over a BBQ cooking hot dogs and hamburgers.

    The meeting is a great way to build rapport, but most importantly to begin managing expectations for the season. Parent involvement is paramount to a successful season as there are many moving parts and volunteers needed. Most of you have been involved with other sports before and some of you have participated in Skyline Youth Football and can attest that in football we will have more communication any other sport. This Blog will be one way that we keep you updated. So if you haven't please, bookmark the blog now by hitting CTRL + Shift + D. The coaches are looking forward to meeting you all and our players.

    Our agenda for the parent meeting is below.

    SYFA - Referees Needed

    SYFA Familes –

    GEJFA (Greater Eastside Junior Football Association) is in dire need of growing its referee pool. Currently there are not enough referees to cover the 2010 season! They are asking each system to provide 1 referee to the league for every 3 teams they have. This year SYFA has *14* teams, meaning we need to find 5 people to referee! We need your help!

    All candidates must be at least 18 years old
    The league will train you!
    Pay rates start at $20/game and go up.
    At all games there will be at least 3 or 4 person crews.
    It’s a fun way to get involved!
    Please ask your family, friends & neighbors if they would be interested in this great opportunity! If you have any questions, you can visit http://www.gejfa.org and look under the “Official’s Corner”.

    If we cannot provide referee’s to the league, then they will start recruiting from our stands or our teams will have to go without. And as many of us know, we depend on those referees!

    Please help us make the 2010 season a success by helping recruit referees!!

    Thanks for your help!

    GO SPARTANS!!
