EQUIPMENT CHECK-IN DETAILS
NOW is the time to check in your football equipment. Equipment should by dropped off at Aaron Glause's home. Please call before you come to the house ( 796-2003).
Please have the jerseys, pants, etc. clean and ready for storage.
Please take a few minutes to clean your child's helmet:
Wipe out the inside with alcohol or a disinfectant
Use warm water to remove mud, grass and dirt
Mr. Clean Magic Erasers work great on all those scuff marks. Goo Gone and other removers also work well.
Please try to get them off before turning them in. We'll never get them all off, but it helps makes equipment check out next year much easier.

MYSA sponsors football teams in three divisions. The Pee Wee division is an instructional league for boys in 3rd-4th grades. The Jr. Midget division is for boys in 5th-6th grades. The Midget division is for players in 7th-8th grade. Each team can have a maximum of 25 players. This will be a contact sport using MYSA provided equipment (the 7th-8th grade team uses some equipment provided by the school's jr. high program).
Our teams compete in the EVW Football League which includes teams from Elkhorn, Gretna, Fort Calhoun, Valley, Arlington, Blair, Missouri Valley, Yutan, Springfield, Ashland, Bennington, Hickman, Plattsmouth, Nebraska City, and Auburn.
We will play 6 to 8 games either on Saturdays or Sunday afternoons.
We will be practicing 2 to 3 times per week at the Malcolm school.
The 3rd-4th grade instructional division (Pee Wee) will stress the fundamentals of the game in an instructional environment. This will allow the coach to be on the field while the boys are playing in order to teach proper mechanics and more importantly for the safety of the players. Our goal this fall will be to establish an understanding of the game in each player.
The 5th-8th grade divisions (Jr. Midget/Midget) will also stress the fundamentals of the game. This will be a more competitive environment. Coaches will coach from the sidelines.
The cost of tackle football in 2008 will be $110 per player. This cost will cover the league fee, insurance, and uniform and equipment costs. Registration Deadline is May 16th.
