August 2016

Welcome to another year of Jr. Lions Football and Cheerleading!

Practice is underway and the kids are off to a great start. Our first game of the season is scheduled for August 14th. There may
be an opportunity for scrimmage games prior to our first game, so make sure your communicating with your coaches. Game
schedules will be distributed this week, but they can also be found on the NAJFL website. The NAJFL website also provides
directions to the fields that we will play at. In addition to the game schedules, we are working hard on organizing the concession
stand and chain gang schedule for each game. If an individual is not available to work their scheduled time, it is their responsibility to find an adult replacement. Any individual that does not work the concession stand or chain gang, will be required to pay
for their child's attendance at the banquet. Our concession stand has a great reputation for offering a variety of really good
food, so lets continue that tradition of making it a success.
This organization has many committed volunteers. Its important that we continue to expand each year to keep the organization
moving forward and progressing. There are many opportunities to become involved and make a difference so please attend one
our monthly board meetings and get involved. Without volunteers the organization cannot exist and our kids dont get the
opportunity to play the sports they love!

I Am A Youth Athlete
Our 2nd Annual Golf Tournament was a
huge success and provided the organization with the needed funds to help pay
for the many expenses. If you missed
out on this years fun, we hope you join
us next year as a participant and/or
volunteer.

I am brave and strong and talented. But I'm still just a kid. I am not perfect.
I'm a work in progress. I need you to be patient while I test the limits of my
body and work through the emotions that come with success and failures. When
I make a mistake, I wonder if you'll be disappointed. When I reach my goals, I
look to see if you are watching. I am a youth athlete. I love my sport. You call
it competition. I call it playing the game. I want to win and have fun. I am a
youth athlete. I am YOUR youth athlete. Winning feels great, but your praise
feels infinitely better. Please remember these things and I promise to do my
best to make you proud.
