Team,

It's been a busy couple of weeks are our teams have been formed, and equipment distributed. Thanks for all your patience as we navigate through the complicated sport of football. Some important reminders and dates to add to your calendar:

1. The only authorized parking areas at Starr's Mill are in the bus loop, and in the parking spaces behind the stadium. For those using the fields behind the visitor's bleachers, and the field behind the baseball stadium, ensure you park in the stadium parking lot and not in the driveway.
2. Saturday, August 19th, Opening Season Jamboree. All teams will be playing up to three modified scrimmage games. There will be full concessions, inflatables, and a public safety touch-a-truck. Each family will be required to purchase one raffle ticket. The raffle tickets cover our costs for the Jamboree (referees, field fees, etc.), and any proceeds will benefit the Royal Animal Refuge. Each raffle ticket gets you 5 chances to win a Yeti cooler. Raffle tickets can be purchased here: https://www.fayettecountyfootball.com/page/show/5257646-jamboree-ticket-sales
3. Starr's Mill Youth Night, August 25th, 6:30PM. All players and cheerleaders in the Starr's Mill feeder should report with their coaches to be recognized before the varsity football game. Players and cheerleaders will form a tunnel for the players and run onto the field before the game.
4. Falcon's Game, On-Field Scrimmages at Mercedes Benz stadium. Purchase your tickets now to attend a Falcon's game together, followed by short scrimmages on the field after the game. Falcon's tickets can be purchased here: https://www.fayettecountyfootball.com/page/show/7278176-tickets-for-on-field-scrimmages-at-mercedez-benz-stadium-after-a-falcon-s-game

Remember that no one is allowed inside the fence of a practice or game if they are not registered as a volunteer on our website and have completed a background investigation.

All urgent league communications, fields status, and schedule changes are communicated through our GroupMe. Remember that our GroupMe is one way communications. Should you have a comment, please direct message. Sign up for our GroupMe here: https://web.groupme.com/join_group/69171975/tz4G5wvW.

Again, thank you for your patience as we start the season. We are looking forward to another great year.

• Uniforms are provided for football and cheerleading.  Football will have a practice jersey and a reversible game jersey.  Helmet stickers feeder school specific for Whitewater, Starr's Mill, and McIntosh High.   All players from Coweta and Fayette, regardless of feeder school are welcome to play football and cheer with us.   Registration fees also include a certified helmet, shoulder pads, and two uniforms.  All other personal equipment required is listed in the equipment tab above.

• The cost of the acclimation summer camps is included in your full tackle football registration. 
• Players who would just like to attend the summer camp only, must pay a separate registration fee. 
• Players should attend as many of the Summer Camp days as possible to acclimate them for the heat, and receive training heads-up tackle football.  The camps are held at the high school feeder stadiums hosted by the varsity coaches and players.  Players should come to all the days of camp regardless of their feeder school.  Cheerleading will have separate choreography camps in late July.
