Fees
Player help fees cover buying the safest
and newest equipment, insurance coverage, uniforms, first aid, and
field prep supplies. Fees are $75 per player for tackle. There is a
$10 family discount for each additional player (tackle or flag).
Sponsorship
Sponsors are
instrumental in keeping our young “Grid-Iron Greats” in the best
equipment. For a $250 BLUE, $500 RED, or $1000 WHITE sponsor
donation, you get the satisfaction of helping the children of our
community, recognition in our program, and ONE player fee wavier.
