Our coaches loose a lot of time & sometime money just to volunteer, so please take that into consideration. We are the top organization on the north side for the past 37 years for a reason. Parents we need more participation during events and fundraisers, if you would like to help out just come to the sign up table and let someone know. We need help during home games with concessions, holding the chains, clean up of the park.

Welcome to the 2009 Rattler football year we are having a good turn out this year a lot of new and old faces. Practice will be Monday – Thursday 6pm – 8pm unless it’s a holiday, we practice rain, sleet or snow. Practice will only be canceled or stop if we see lightning or a tornado then we must clear the field for safety of the kids. We have made it thru the first week of conditioning camp, which is always the hardest but let’s keep the kids encouraged to stay strong and dedicated. Conditioning is the key to endurance and a healthy season; we also encourage parents to talk to coaches to see what you might need to work with your child on at home to help them become a better athlete. Parents please make sure your child dresses in the appropriate clothing to keep them cool and make sure they have plenty of water at practice( to keep them hydrated) and don’t let them eat a lot before practice ( especially milk and cereal) with it being hot it will come right back up. With conditioning your working out a lot so we don’t want the kids to get nauseated and sick. We are coming up on our 1st payment date which is June 18th, our last payment date will be July 16th all fees must be paid by then to ensure your child jersey and pants gets ordered on time. We will also start fitting kids for equipment this week so those who need it please get the rental forms and fees in. Helmets will be painted before games each team may have different colors but the same rattler logo. We will also have our first car wash at 5th/3rd bank @ 1500 Morse rd, on the corner of Morse rd. and Karl rd. Saturday the 13th at 12:30 pm – 4:30 pm please make sure your child is there.
