Players must have a certain amount of conditioning hours before they can move on to contact, and then a certain amount of contact hours before they can take part in scrimmages/games.
Practices during the summer could be held at other locations besides Kennedy Middle School due to the need for additional field space.

If you are planning to play 2 sports during the fall season and football will not be your top priority for practices and games then it is asked that you not play football. It simply is not fair to the other teammates and the coaches on the team.
