Conestoga Generals 2010 Registration

We are thrilled to be preparing for another exciting year of football and cheerleading with the Conestoga Generals. As many of you know, one of the most critical items on our pre-season punch-list is paperwork. Each participant is required to submit the following items prior to the first day of practice:

• 2010 Pop Warner Medical Eligibility Form. This must be signed by a physician and dated no earlier than Jan 1, 2010.
• 2010 Pop Warner Participant Contract and Parental Consent Form.
• Bux-Mont Emergency Treatment Authorization.
• Two copies of your child’s 2009-2010 FINAL report card. Include all pages.
• Current 3 x 5 color photo with participant name on back.
• New participants only - copy of birth certificate. This must be government issued, no hospital or church records.

Paperwork must be submitted before the start of practice or equipment handout. Your son or daughter will not be permitted to participate in any practices without all paperwork requirements met, and forms submitted.

No paperwork = No practice = No equipment = No exceptions.

These forms may be submitted in one of two ways:

· Via mail at anytime: PO Box 922, Devon PA 19333

· In person at Rita’s Water Ice in Chesterbrook Village on Thursday, July 22

If your child is in the 5th grade or higher and has at least a 96% grade point average from the past year, we also encourage you to submit an application for the Pop Warner All-American Team. We have had numerous players and cheerleaders from our program named as All-Americans the past few years. This is a national award that recognizes your child’s commitment to excellence on the field, in the classroom and in extra-curricular activities. More information on the application process will be provided during the first week of practice as the submission deadline is typically not until early September. Note that all national applications will automatically be considered for league level awards and cash scholarships.

If you have any questions on paperwork or the All-American Team, please contact our scholastic representative Sy Hayes at 610-425-7846 or Sy@mydogboris.com.

Have a great summer!

General’s Families,

It’s that time of year again; time to start planning for the 2010 Generals football season.  In order to make this season even more successful than our 2009 season, the Generals Board of Directors have made a few minor changes to our program.

For the upcoming season, we are offering a limited number of teams and roster spots, as our lack of sufficient practice field space and facilities continue to be an issue to expanding our numbers.  For the 2010 season, the Generals plan to have the following team spots available to open registration:

Football

120 lb (1 team; maximum of 22 rostered players per team)

105 lb (2-3 teams; maximum of 22 rostered players per team *depending on final numbers)

90 lb (2 teams; maximum of 25 rostered players per team)

80 lb (2 teams; maximum of 25 rostered players per team)

70 lb (1 team; maximum of 22 rostered players) - 7 year olds only who do not want to play flag.

Flag (6 teams, maximum of 14 players) – 5 to 7 year olds.

Cheerleading

3 to 4 age based teams, maximum of 20 cheerleaders per team.

For registration, please ensure that you have an accurate weight for your son (for tackle football).  Weights and age determine where your son is placed at the beginning of the season, so it is very important that we have as accurate weights as possible.  If your son’s weight or age differ greatly from what is provided at registration, players are not guaranteed a spot on a different team.

We also anticipate heavy demand for our flag program (5 to 7 yr olds.) and cheer (all ages) programs - please take advantage of this early registration and sign up today!  Last year we fielded 6 flag teams, and still had a wait list of players.

Once we reach these limits, we will not accept any more registrants. As a returning General, you have the first opportunity to register in a limited timeframe period.

Early registration for returning players is scheduled to open on Wednesday April 14th, and will close on Friday, April 23rd.   All returning players will receive an email when the registration period opens.  After early registration closes, the Generals board will assess how many roster spots we have remaining, and then open registration to the public the week of 4/26 for any remaining spots.

Our fee structure is unchanged from last year, and we are able to offer a multiple child discount to those families with more than 1 child in the program.  Also, online fees are similar to years past.  We also will continue to require every tackle player to buy a new jersey and this is included in the registration fee. The fee structure for 2010 is $225 for tackle (which includes the jersey), $160 for flag (including jersey), and $190 for cheerleading.  $50 discount for multiple children registered per family, child 2+.  

If your son plans on playing tackle football next season, it’s very important you register during the early registration period. This is the only way to insure he has spot for next season, and if you don’t register early, you may be placed on a wait list. In the event we find ourselves in a situation of having too many players for the number of open roster spots, we reserve the right to offer the roster spots to players based upon years of participation in the Generals program.

Also, please take the time to consider volunteering opportunities within the Generals organization.  The success of the Generals depends on volunteers for a variety of roles, including Team Parents, field preparation, equipment maintenance, etc… - all we need is your time and a willingness to help.  The Generals are also always interested in head coach and assistant coach candidates.

The Generals also have a policy of allowing participation regardless of ability to pay full participation fees.  All financial aid requests will be reviewed and final determination of fees paid determined by the General’s board.

For questions or for inquiries regarding financial aid requests, please contact Leigh Ann Eaton at laeaton1@verizon.net.

For questions regarding head or assistant coaching, or volunteering/Board positions, please contact our President, Eric Dirks at ericdirks@aol.com.
