Youth Football Holding Signups, Looking For Future Board Members

BY MICHAEL BOYD JR.

The third-year Ste. Genevieve County Youth Football League continues its two-day camp/signups for ages 6-12 on Wednesday, July 16 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Ste. Genevieve County Community Center. For those who missed Monday's date are still eligible to signup and attend camp.

There will be three different teams this summer and fall.

If any one team has more than 22 players sign up, then a tryout will be held Saturday, July 19.

Practices for each team will begin the following the week of July 20. Games will begin in September, playing on Saturdays.

The fee is $175 which covers game jersey, pants, socks and belt; and rental of helmets and protective pads.

If a tryout is necessary and the player doesn’t make the final cut, his or her fee will be fully refunded.

All three teams are named the Impact and have won three championships in two years.

If interested in playing or coaching, contact Pam Billings at (573) 883.0733 or Mike Boyd at (573) 535-9674.

NEW BOARD MEMBERS?: The SGCYFL is looking for current and future board members to ensure the future of the tackle-football league.

Only two current board members have children playing in the league this year. The others are stepping down after this season is completed since their children are now playing middle school football.

Board meetings are held year-round at the Ste. Genevieve Knights of Columbus Hall on the first Wednesday of each month starting at 6 p.m.

If a holiday falls on the first Wednesday, the meeting is pushed back one week. A variety of positions need to be filled.

If interested being a board member, contact Pam Billings at (573) 883.0733 or Mike Boyd at (573) 535-9674.
