Football is a team sport.  Each position on the team is very important.  The linemen block, the center snaps the ball, kickers kick, quarterbacks throw, running backs run and receivers catch, etc.  There are many things that have to happen to make each play as successful as it can be.  Please encourage and support your child in whatever position(s) he may have.  Each player is so important to the game.
          Football requires a lot of practice and dedication.  Coaches will set practice time with the kids.  It is important for each participant to be at all practices.  Please support the coaches in what they do.  If there is a time your child can’t be there, let the coach know.  They will work with you, but try everything you can before having your child miss a practice.  If your child misses practices, they may not get much playing time.  This is not a punishment; it is a matter of safety, fairness and teamwork.
          Football is a contact sport.  There are risks of injury.  By being at practice participants will get stronger by conditioning, by learning and running the plays and by being taught the rules and procedures of the game.  Each participant is responsible for their own medical insurance.  Each participant is responsible for their hydration.  Bring a water bottle or similar each day.
          In compliance with House Bill 204—“Protection of Athletes with Head Injuries Act”, Richfield City has implemented a policy regarding concussions, etc.  If your child sustains a concussion, a release from a Doctor will be required before further participation is allowed.
          The teams will travel to different cities to play.  It is the responsibility of parents to provide a way for their child to get to and from the games.
          Sportsmanship is essential to the enjoyment of any game.  Please be positive and supportive of the game, the players, coaches and officials.
