SIGNUP INFORMATION:

All children ages 5-12 in the Chatham, Ichabod Crane, and New Lebanon School Districts are eligible to participate in the Northern Columbia County Football and Cheerleading Program.  Each division has specific age requirements and weight restrictions; therefore, your child will be placed in the division which best suits his/her age and weight.

Maximum Roster is 35 (except for flag which is 24)

*Age refers to the age your child is as of July 31, 2009.

Cheerleading: Cheerleading squads are also offered for boys and girls ages 5-13.  The age of your child will determine what team they will cheer with (there are no weight requirements).  All other requirements are the same as football players.  Practice schedule will be given out by the coaches.  Along with games, the cheer squad also goes to competitions throughout the state.

Practices: Practices begin on August 1, 2009.  Practice days and times will be determined by the coaching staff.  The number of practices per week ranges from 3-5 and time length from 2-2½ hours.  Once school begins, the number of practices will be reduced.  The locations of practices are the Chatham Fairgrounds and the Ghent Town Park.  Parents are urged to stay at practice in case of foul weather (heat, lightning, extreme cold, snow, or rain). 

Games: Regular season games begin in September.  All teams play 8 regular season games except for Flag plays which plays 6 games.  All home games will be played at Chatham High School.  Games may be scheduled for Saturday or Sunday.  The regular season normally concludes in late October; however, should teams perform well, there are additional playoff games that may extend the season. 

Fundraising: We are a nonprofit organization so fund raising is critical to cover our many expenses.  We do fund raisers throughout the year.  Other events will be held during the season.  We do not make these fund raisers mandatory, but we urge everyone to participate as much as they can.  Remember we do all of this to buy necessary equipment and to curtail sign up fees.

We have had great success with both football and cheerleading teams, and we expect a strong commitment from both parents and children who participate.  This has been a fun and rewarding experience for our kids for the last 9 years.  Please help it continue.

For further information, call Dan Howes (Vice President) @ 392-7615 or Tom Mackerer (392-5027).
