*Bring
plenty of water or a sports drink for your
child each practice.
**It’s
extremely important to have a parent / guardian
attend practice in the event of injury or a shortened practice for
whatever
reason. If you absolutely cannot attend
practice please inform the Head Coach and make sure that he/ she has a
contact
phone number.
Game Schedules: Most games will be played on Sat. at Ogden Park.
Equipment: Helmets and game jerseys are provided for football players and a cheer uniform will be provided for the cheerleaders. Please see the attached sheets for approximate out-of-pocket expenses to expect. Helmets, Jerseys and Cheer Uniforms are property of Panthers Pop Warner and must be returned to the League at the end of the season. All equipment not returned by Nov. 15th is subject to a $20 equipment late fee.
Registration Money: *No refunds after Aug. 13th* $35.00 of this money is paid to the Coastal Pop Warner League for insurance, officials, and fields. The remaining $45.00 is used by Pop Warner Panthers for equipment/running costs. Helmets cost $80 and jerseys cost from $25-45. Based on this, please understand that it is important to take care of our equipment and turn in all equipment at the end of the season. The equipment will be inventoried this year with parents being billed for any missing items.
Sponsorships: Based on the aforementioned economics of the league, sponsorships are vital to our survival and growth. If you own a company or want to personally contribute, please contact Tammy Heuring. Also, please thank and support the 2011 season sponsors that have contributed so far.
