starting practice. THIS IS A MMPFL rule and PTFA is obligated to enforce it. Football team placement is made at the end of mandatory conditioning. We make every effort to balance each team and do not believe in creating and “A” teams in this program. Note that if a coach has a child playing football, that “B” child is automatically assigned to the coach’s team. If you, as a parent, have a request with respect to coaching, you should speak with either the football coach coordinator or the cheerleading coach coordinator. The MMPFL rules state as follows: Players who are 9 years old on or before September 1st or in 4th grade of the current year will play in the 4th grade division. Players that are 11 years old before Sept. 1st must play in the 5th grade division. Players who are 12 years old before September 1st must play in the 6th grade division. Players who are 13 years old must play in the 7th grade division. Players who are 14 must play in the 8th grade division. No player who reaches the age of 15 before September 1st shall play. After the football teams have been selected, the cheerleading teams will be assigned. You may have a child playing football and cheering. When we assign cheerleading teams, we attempt to keep siblings on the same schedule; however, we cannot guarantee that they will be together and do not honor special requests. Equipment/Uniforms Your child will be issued equipment/uniform. Historically, we have had football equipment handouts on the Saturday after Camp is completed. Cheerleading uniforms are given to coaches for distribution. Parent(s) sign for the children’s equipment/uniform at the time it is issued and if it is not returned, the parent(s) will be billed for the value of the equipment and your child will not be permitted to participate in the program until the equipment is returned or paid for. The uniforms and equipment are very important to the safety of the player. Uniforms and equipment are also a major expense of the PTFA program. Due to the importance and expense each participant will be responsible for the cleaning of practice and game uniforms. Regularly wash practice uniforms and be sure uniforms are clean before all games. Coaches are responsible for the uniforms/equipment inventory of each team. If equipment or uniform is damaged during the season, notify the coach immediately. All participants will be responsible for the replacement cost of equipment or uniforms not turned in at the end of the season. If not returned or paid for they will not be eligible for the following season.
