INFORMATION:

Remind App:

In addition to e-mail, we are using Remind to send important updates and information for Paragon Athletics this year. It is also a quick way to let us know if your athlete will be late to a game or missing a practice or game. If a practice or game has been changed/canceled, Remind is the quickest way for coaches to get that information out to you. A link to sign up will be sent out at a later date.

Parent/Player Meeting:

Once the teams are set, we will hold a player/parent meeting during the last 15 minutes of one of our first practices. We will discuss the upcoming season, get everyone signed up on Remind and answer any questions you may have. More information about this meeting will be released at a later date.

Teams:

• JV Sports - 5th and 6th grade

• Varsity Sports - 7th and 8th grade

• Flag Football is a co-ed sport.

• EVERYONE will make a team.​

Transportation:

We will bus the kids to practice. Parents should pick up at the end of practice. There will NOT be buses to games unless otherwise notified.

Weather:

WATER - lots of it!  Please make sure your athlete is drinking lots of fluids the day before an event and each night after an event. We will take plenty of water breaks and water bottles can be refilled at the fields but hydration needs to start early!.

If a game is ever canceled due to weather, it will be the host school's decision. We will do our best to get that information out to you as soon as possible via the Remind app and e-mail.

If there is inclement weather during practice, we will move inside the JCC. If there is inclement weather before practice, we may need to cancel practice. We will notify everyone via Remind app and e-mail as soon as we make that decision.

Length of Football season:

The season runs from August 8th - November 5th (Depending on end of season tournament).   

Equipment:

• Uniforms: Jersey tops will be passed out before our first game. Please return the tops at the end of the season.

• Cleats: We strongly recommend that athletes wear football or soccer cleats. Please make sure they do not have metal spikes.

• Water bottles: We ask all players to bring their own water bottles to games and practices.

Conflicts:

If your athlete will be missing a practice or a game, please let us know ahead of time. We understand how busy everyone is but if we know in advance we can make any necessary adjustments.

Game Cancellations:

From time to time games get canceled due to a variety of issues with little warning. As all our games are at other school's fields - we have no control over this. We will use Remind to get this information out as soon as possible. If there is enough notice, we will also send out an e-mail with the updated schedule. 

Playing Time:

Playing time is not guaranteed. We work to make sure every player gets the opportunity to participate. We encourage our players to be enthusiastic, positive and work hard to elevate their play and performance in practice to show the coaches they are prepared to help their team.

Injuries:

Parents will be notified of any injuries that are deemed serious. We ask our players to tell us when they are hurt or not feeling well.
