Weather/Cancellations:Football is played in the rain provided there is no thunder and lightning. However, I will send an email by 5:30 pm if practice is canceled. Therefore, check your email before you leave for practice.
** Reminder- NJSYFL rules: Player must have 20 practice hours before they can participate in their first game. Please arrive to practice 10 minutes early so we can get started immediately at 6:00 pm. If parent is dropping off their child, they can either drop off at the municipal complex parking lot or the Woodland School parking lot. I encourage any and all parents to stay and watch practice. If you decide to stay, please utilize the Woodland School parking lot ONLY. The town hall has meeting throughout the week and those parking spots are for meeting personnel only.
NOTE: If Cornine Field construction is completed, we will be practicing at that field. Football parking is across the street at Street Pool.
If you decide to stay and watch practice, PLEASE STAY IN THE BLEACHER AREA AND NOT ON THE PRACTICE FIELD.
