2011 NFL SEASON OPENING INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
WELCOME TO ANOTHER SEASON OF FOOTBALL! The Volunteer Board and Coaching Staff of
the NFL are looking forward to spending time with you and your child in this important learning
experience.
REGISTRATION FEES: Gear will not be handed out unless paid in full. ($150 per player).
GAME ENTRY FEE: $2.00 Per Adult. Students in school or younger are not charged.
GEAR HANDOUT: Will be on Sat. 9-10-2011 from 11am to 1pm. (Place to be announced later).
Mandatory that all players attend or have to wait for later date for gear. We issue everything except
practice pants, cleats and safety cups. You can buy practice pants for $20 at this gear handout. NO
NEED to come earlier than 11:00. Bring yourself water and/or folding chair for waiting in line. Line
moves fast once started.
WEIGH IN INFO: Only Older-Lighter Pee Wee & Junior players need to be a specified weight. Pee
Wees at 10 years old have to be 95 pounds or under. Juniors at 12 years old have to be 125 lbs. or under.
Seniors are all unlimited weights. Players have up until the week before our 1st game (10-1-2011) to make
the specified weights or choose to play up with the next level of players. Players will be weighed at gear
handout day to identify any problems.
PRACTICE: Coaches expect EACH player to be at EVERY practice. PARENTS are asked to be
accountable for missed practices as it may effect play time given at games. PLAY TIME: All registered players are to be played at each game. Amount of play time given is at the discretion of the coach. We hold the coaching staff accountable for their scheduling. Discuss with your coach or Board member if you have questions about play time given to your child. WEATHER: If the weather seems questionable, show up anyway. Parents who attend practice and games have the peace of mind of being able to remove their child from the field if a lightning storm suddenly appears. A Coach or Team Mom will go to the field to notify of a cancelled practice unless there is ample time to call the entire team. EQUIPMENT: Please help your child come fully dressed to EACH practice and game. PARENTS are
responsible for turning in all equipment issued at the last game of the season. Property not returned is subject to charge to parent or guardian at current league replacement cost. SPORTSMANSHIP — PLAYERS & FANS: Naples Football League reserves the right to release any
adult or child from participation or attendance at any or all league functions based on a majority vote of the Board of Directors with vote consideration given to the division level coaches that the termination would affect. Our league hires “outside/non-biased” referees. The “\White-Hat” referee reserves the right of expulsion from games or future league activities for poor sportsmanship on the part of any player or fan. REFUNDS: 50% only if an “injured” participant quits before equipment handout. 0% thereafter. COOLERS ON GAME DAYS: In support of the on-site, league sponsored concession stand, NO FOOD OR DRINK will be allowed to be brought into the league game facilities. Only coaching staff or parents with items such as orange slices or ice water rags for their team will be allowed to bring coolers in. All coolers are susceptible to league inspections. TRANSPORTATION: Please make every effort to have your child transported to and from practice and
games. We often find ourselves waiting late at the fields for parent pick up and don’t want to leave your
child unattended. Please be considerate, we are a volunteer staff that puts in many more hours than
those you see.
PRACTICE SCHEDULE: You will be notified by your individual coach.
COACH CONTACT NUMBER: You will be notified by your individual coach.
