Each participant is responsible for $100 worth of raffle tickets for a single athlete, $150 for 2 or more. These raffle tickets will be raffled off for a cash prize at our annual Parent’s Night Out in September. Families must pay the raffle fee upfront. With each ticket sold, the family recoups that money and is theirs to keep. For example, if you sell all your tickets you will regain all the money you paid for raffle tickets.

Regular Season: There are 8 or 9 regular-season games, which usually run through the end of October. We typically have four or five home games and the rest are away.
Post Season: After the regular season games are over, there are Conference playoffs for the competitive football teams with the best record in their division. If a team wins the Conference Championship, they then go on to play in the Regional playoffs, and if they continue to win, at the end is the Regional Championship game.
Cheer Competitions: The local Cheer Competition is in late October or the beginning of November. For the competitive teams (Mighty Mites & above), If you place 1st or 2nd, you will then move on to the Regional competition. If you place 1stor 2nd at Regionals, then the next and final competition is at Disney’s Wide World of Sports in Orlando. All dates will be announced at a later date.
