Practice schedule tomorrow (4/18) 10:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M.:

Pee Wees - Helmets only

Supers - No Practice / Equipment turn in only

Grasscutters - Helmets only

Equipment Turn In:

We will all be turning in equipment Saturday so that the pads can be disinfected. Please wash all washable items and place in the equipment bag that was issued to you. Please make sure that the player's name is on the equipment bag tag. Pee Wees & Grasscutters will just need to put their helmets in the the bags after they practice tomorrow. For those that have purchased their own helmets you do not need to turn those in to us, but if you would like us to disinfect it for you we will be happy to do that. 

The Jefferson City Patriots Pee Wee's & Supers teams will be coming to our field for a scrimmage tonight beginning at 6:00 P.M. 

We realize that some are in soccer & baseball already, but we would ask that everyone make an attempt to be there tonight so that we have enough players to actually have a scrimmage. 

Spring Practice

Spring Practice begins tomorrow from 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. This will be a 'Helmets Only' practice, players should wear their helmets, shorts, T-shirts & cleats. (Metal tipped cleats are not allowed.) The only other thing they will need tomorrow is a mouth piece. Mouth pieces are available in the concession stand for $2.00. (Keep in mind when buying a mouth piece, it must be colored & have a strap.) The Grasscutters (5, 6 & 7 yr olds) have decided to practice on the soccer field, which is the grassy area to the left of our parking lot. The Supers & Pee Wee's will be on the main field. 

Equipment

For those that have not picked up equipment yet, we will be available for equipment fittings starting at 5:30 P.M. 

Equipment Fittings

For those wanting to avoid the chaos of getting fitted for equipment on 4/6, we will be available next Thursday & Friday (4/2 & 4/3) from 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

If possible we would like the Pee Wee team members to arrive first, and then the Super Grasscutters around 7:00 P.M. on Thursday. Grasscutters will then have Friday to themselves. 

Pee Wees (age 10 - 11)

4/2 between 6:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M.

Supers (age 8 - 9)

4/2 after 7:00 P.M.

Grasscutters (age 5, 6 - 7)

4/3 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.

 

Sign-Ups

Since we will be there anyway, anyone that would like to sign-up can do so either day. 

 

Xenith Helmets along with BSN Sports of Knoxville will be making a presentation for our parents before practice this Saturday (4/11) beginning at 10:00 A.M. at our field. Xenith Helmets are widely regarded as the cutting edge in safer football headgear. We believe this presentation is well worth everyone's time, and would ask that all parents try to attend if possible. For more info on Xenith Helmets you can visit their website here: www.xenith.com

Spring Football Practice will be held the following dates:

4/6/15 - 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

4/7/15 - 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

4/9/15 - 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

4/10/15 - 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

4/11/15 - 10:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M.

4/13/15 - 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

4/14/15 - 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

4/16/15 - 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

4/17/15 - 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

4/18/15 - 10:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M.

These will be padded practices.

This is football only. Cheer does not participate in Spring Practice. 

 

The board will be voting for both Football & Cheer Director positions for the upcoming 2015 season at our 1/14/15 meeting. Individuals interested in being considered for either of these positions must contact a current board member prior to 1/12/15 and state their intentions to run. Last minute applications will not be considered.

Due to the high likelihood of rain Saturday, we will not be participating as a group in the Dandridge Christmas Parade this year. 

With the all the sick kids we have now & flu season in full swing, rain and 40 degree weather is probably not a super idea. 

Hopefully next year will be more agreeable!

Take a folding chair. They do not have bleachers for the most part. 

No bathrooms, Porta Potty only. (That pregame Route 44 limeade & Chili Cheese Coney... not such a good idea.) 

Supers & Pee Wee's don't try to cut it close on your arrival time. Once a team gets a 24 point lead the clock will run continuously, which in turn speeds up all the games. Cutting it close might mean you show up in the 3rd quarter of your game! 

Kickoff for Grasscutters - 11:00 A.M.
Kickoff for Super Grasscutters - 12:30 P.M.
Kickoff for Pee Wees - 2:00 P.M.

The Broncos Breast Cancer Awareness shirts were a big hit, so for those that missed the numerous announcements about pre-ordering the first batch we will be ordering a 2nd batch. Please see Melinda Breeden at Monday's (10/6) practice to pre-order. Youth Small - Adult XL are $10.00 and Adult XXL and larger will be $12.00. Money must be turned in Monday (10/6). We can't give you an exact date that they will be back, but the supplier said that they would put a rush on them for us. 

The breast cancer awareness shirts are back! If you pre-ordered a shirt please see Melinda Breeden tonight at practice to pick up your shirt. If you have not yet paid, please bring your money tonight as well.

We would like to thank all the girls, boys & especially our parents for the great job they did with this year's Homecoming Fundraiser! 

Congratulations to our three Queen's and everyone that sold a BoJangles card and a candle, you're all winners in our books as well!

THANK YOU PARENTS!!!

Good Job Grasscutters & Supers!

Practice Tonight (9/12)

The only practice tonight will be Pee Wee football. Weather permitting the Pee Wee's will practice from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.

No Grasscutter football, Super Grasscutter football or Cheer will be practicing tonight.

 

Game Day Info

Pigeon Forge requested that we start the Grasscutter game 30 minutes early. Therefore the Grasscutter game will kickoff at 4:30 P.M. instead of 5:00 P.M. Which will of course move all three games up by 30 minutes.

Grasscutter kickoff - 4:30 P.M.

Grasscutters need to arrive no later than 3:30 P.M. and be dressed and ready to warm up by 4:00 P.M.

Super kickoff - 6:00 P.M.

Supers need to arrive no later than 5:00 P.M. and be dressed and ready to warm up by the beginning of the Grasscutter 3rd quarter.

Pee Wee kickoff - 7:30 P.M.

Pee Wee's need to arrive no later than 6:30 P.M. and be dressed and ready to warm up by the beginning of the Super 3rd quarter.

Practice tonight has been cancelled. Possibility of practice tomorrow to make it up. Stay tuned.

The make up pictures scheduled for today have been cancelled and re-scheduled for next Thursday (9/18) due to the incoming rain. This includes Super Grasscutter Cheer & Pee Wee Senior pictures. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Super Grasscutter Picture Day

Legends Photography will be returning on Thursday (9/11) at 6:00 P.M. to take make up pictures for Super Grasscutter Cheer. As before you will need to either pay online prior to that day, or pay on Thursday.

 

Senior Football Players

Pee Wee Football players in their last year of eligibility are asked to wear their full game uniforms on Thursday (9/11) for senior pictures at 6:00 P.M. They will be practicing afterwards, so you can either bring practice uniform to change into or just practice in game uniform. Either is fine. There is no charge to the parents for this.

Tough Games all around tonight, Jeff City came to play.

B-Team Games / 5th Quarters

Jefferson City has agreed to participate in a Grasscutter B-Team game beginning at 4:00 P.M. this Saturday prior to the start of the Grasscutter game.

(Grasscutter B-Team needs to arrive by 3:15 P.M. and Grasscutter A-Team needs to arrive at 4:00 P.M.)

Also, we will be having a "5th Quarter" with the Jefferson City Super Grasscutters immediately following the Super Grasscutter game. 

(Supers need to arrive at 5:30 P.M. and be dressed and in the end zone ready to warm up at the beginning of the 3rd quarter GC game.)

Unfortunately, Jefferson City did not want to do a "5th Quarter" for the Pee Wee's, so there will not be any Pee Wee B-team action.

(Pee Wee's need to arrive by 6:45 P.M. and be dressed and ready to warm up in the end zone at the beginning of the 3rd quarter SGC game.)

Ice Water Challenge

Jefferson City coaches have challenged all three divisions to an ice water challenge and the Broncos have accepted. 

Immediately following each respective game (GC's, SGC's and PW's) the Head Coach from the losing team will get a nice refreshing cooler of ice water dumped on them.

GO BRONCOS!!!

Supers and Pee Wee's will be practicing Monday (9/1) at normal time. 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

Grasscutters will not practice Monday (9/1)

Grascutter's win big!

Thank you to the Parrottsville community for making tonight's scrimmage a good experience for everyone!

We have agreed to travel to Sevierville this coming Thursday (8/14) and scrimmage the Bears. Details:

• All three teams will be scrimmaging. Grasscutters, Supers & Pee Wees
• Scrimmage will begin at 6:00 P.M. and run until 8:00 P.M. just like a normal practice. So we need everyone dressed and ready to warm up at 6:00 P.M. 
• If you do not know where the Sevierville field is, you can hit the 'Directions' link at left and then select 'Sevierville' from the drop down box.
• We will be wearing our practice uniforms, this is not a dress scrimmage like the Parrottsville scrimmage on 8/16.
• If you cannot make it to this scrimmage because of the travel involved we understand. But we would like as many as possible to attend, this will be good experience for all three teams to work against a solid opponent.

GO BRONCOS!

We still have a few 2014 Booster Club shirts available and when they're gone, they're really gone! Admission to any 2014 game at our field is free when you have a booster shirt on, so counting the preseason game on 8/16 that is at least 5 and most likely 6 games (counting a playoff game) you would get in free! You are basically getting a nice Broncos shirt for around $5 - $10!

The Parrottsville Parrotts have agreed to come and play us on Saturday, August 16th. We will be treating this like a real game, there will be referees and the teams will dress in game uniforms. Grasscutters will kickoff at 5:00 P.M. followed by the Supers at 6:30 P.M. and finally the Pee Wee's at 8:00 P.M. We will be charging admission at this event, Adults $5.00 & $1.00 for Children 17 and under. Even though we are treating this like a real game, it will not count for either team in the official E.M.F.C. standings.

Well the rain got us. Picture day has been re-scheduled for Friday, August 15th beginning at 5:00 P.M. Same schedule as was previously announced, Grasscutter cheer will go first followed by Super & PW cheer. Football Grasscutters will follow PW Cheer and then Super & PW football. Sorry for the delay, but mother nature loves a good re-schedule. 

The Pee Wee's decided yesterday to celebrate the end of all that "couch time" they've obviously been enjoying over the summer with an extra practice tonight. Not to be out done, the Supers and Grasscutters cutters have also decided to celebrate with them as well. 

Here's the deal tonight:

Grasscutters & Supers practice from 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. / Helmets only

Pee Wees practice from 6:30 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. (To give the rising 6th graders time to finish Maury orientation) / Helmets only 

At this time cheer is not practicing tonight. If that changes, it will be posted.

 

Picture Day for both Cheer & Football will be Friday August, 8th beginning at 5:00 P.M.

Grasscutter Cheer will go first followed by SG Cheer & Pee Wee Cheer. Grasscutter Football will follow PW Cheer then SG Football and finally Pee Wee Football. There will not be a practice on picture night, so the game uniforms shouldn't get dirty. 

Football will need to dress in full game uniforms:

• Orange jersey with royal blue stripe & white numbers
• Shoulder Pads
• Orange pants with royal blue stripe
• Girdle
• Blue belt (These have not been issued, but will be before picture day)
• Blue socks (These have not been issued, but will be before picture day)
• Cleats

Cheer will need to check with either Patricia or their head coaches to verify what is needed.

It is very important to be present for picture day, as we will be taking the team pictures as well that day. So even if you do not plan to purchase individual pictures, we would really appreciate all participants to at least be there for the team pictures.

If you would like to pre-order your picture packs, you can do so with the link below:

Legends Sports Photography - Dandridge Broncos

Or you can print the order form below, complete and bring to picture day:

Legends Sports Photography - Order Form

 

It's BRONCO time in Dandridge!

• Football & Cheer practice begins this Monday (7/28) from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at the field. 
• Football players will be going 'Helmets Only' next week and will only need to wear: helmets, mouthpieces, cleats, T-shirts & shorts.
• Full pad practice will begin on 8/4. (Reminder, the orange pants with the blue stripe and the solid orange jerseys with the blue stripe are for games only. Please wear the orange mesh jerseys and older blue or plain orange pants you were issued for practices.)
• For those of you that turned equipment after Spring Practice, we will be re-issuing it Monday before practice.
• Don't forget, it is a requirement that a parent or guardian must be present at the field during all practices. 

Coaches:

Football & Cheer coaches that have not yet completed the mandatory concussion training and background check will not be allowed to coach until those are completed. 

Here's to a great 2014 season!

GO BRONCOS!

Spencer has decided that the lightning is going to hold off tonight and it's just going to be a little wet. That being the case the last night of camp is on, or as he put it: "Football is played in the rain, so why would you not practice it in the rain?" :)

It looks like the weather is not going to cooperate with the Camp on Monday & Tuesday. Instead of getting rained out, Spencer has decided to move the Camp to 7/16, 7/17 & 7/18 same time 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. Sorry for the late notice, we were hoping the forecast might change.

Good news, we have enough campers signed up to have the camp. If you plan to attend and have not yet mailed your registration form to Spencer, he has asked that instead of mailing it in if you would please just email him at rileysfootballcamp@yahoo.com and let him know how many campers you will be signing up. Also, if you have the means to scan the completed registration form and attach it to the email you can do that as well. Otherwise just complete the form and bring it to the sign up table on Monday (7/14) at 5:00 P.M.

We have been fortunate enough to have Spencer Riley bring his football camp back to Dandridge this year.

Spencer is a Jefferson County native and was a highly decorated All American lineman for Jefferson County High School. He went on to have a stellar career at the University of Tennessee blocking for the likes of Tee Martin and Peyton Manning, culminating in two SEC Championships and a BCS National Championship in 1998. Spencer is currently the offensive line coach at Tusculum College in Greeneville, TN.

We understand that budgets can get tight this time of year with multiple camps, vacations, etc. So we have asked Spencer to scale back on things like a free camp t-shirt, and extra helpers so we can make this camp as affordable as possible. As a result we get a great price like $25.00 per camper, unfortunately the downside is he can only handle so many campers with limited helpers. This is why the camp is only open to Super-Grasscutter and Pee Wee age campers. He just doesn't have the help to include the Grasscutters.

Your coaching staffs have gone to a great deal of effort to make this camp happen, and they strongly encourage participation in it. We need at least 20 campers to make this camp happen, so please complete the registration form below and send in a.s.a.p.!

Camp Info & Registration Form

There will be no more Grasscutter workouts this month.

The Grasscutters have decided to have workouts the month of June. These workouts are completely voluntary and will begin on Monday June 2nd at 6:00 P.M. and last until 7:00 P.M. and thereafter every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. This is football players only. Workouts will be held at the soccer field next door to our field. For more information please contact Head Coach Anthony Gockenbach at 727-433-3404.

Thanks Broncos & Bronco parents for another great spring practice! Have a great summer everyone, we'll see you on July 28th!

Remember football is finished, but cheer still has their fittings scheduled for Monday (5/19) beginning at 6:00 P.M. at the field. (Football players that didn't make it today can turn in their equipment on Monday as well.)

Saturday's (5/17) practice will be helmets only. Please wash girdles, pants and practice jerseys, place in equipment bags along with shoulder pads & knee pads and bring with you to practice. When practice is over players can simply put their helmets in the bag and turn in. We will reissue equipment on 7/28/14. This will be our last practice for Spring.

Monday's (5/19) practice has been cancelled, as it was originally planned as equipment turn in day anyway. 

We will be welcoming the Jefferson City Patriots for scrimmages this week. Schedule as follows:

Monday 5/12 - Supers
Tuesday 5/13 - Pee Wee's
Thursday 5/15 - Grasscutters

Maury Middle Athletics is hosting a benefit featuring Vol For Life Inky Johnson on May 9th, 2014, at 6:00 P.M. - First Baptist Church in Dandridge. All Broncos currently signed up for the 2014 season will be admitted for free. (Football and Cheer) Tickets for parents are $5.00 per person and we will have some tickets available in the concession stand leading up to the event. All proceeds go directly to Maury Middle School Athletics. 

There seems to be some confusion regarding out last non-pad workout on Thursday (5/1). We will be practicing in shorts and t-shirts Thursday at our normal 6:00 - 8:00 time. Our first day of pads will be this Saturday (5/3) from 10:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M. We suggest that you do try on all the equipment you were issued and if sizing adjustments need to be made, please bring those to our attention on Thursday.

Cheerleading uniform fittings will be held on Monday, May 19th 2014 at our field. Schedule as follows:

Pee Wees: 6:00 P.M. - 6:45 P.M.

Supers: 6:45 P.M. - 7:15 P.M.

Grasscutters: 7:15 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

Please be on time and wear a bathing suit and socks!

New this year:

• If you had a V-neck bodyliner last year, you will be required to purchase a turtleneck bodyliner this year.
• All cheerleaders will have to purchase new socks, shoes, hair bows and pom poms EACH YEAR.
• Payment for cheerleading items is due at the time of purchase up to about $190.00.
• DO NOT ASK to hold a payment or wait for payment, as this will hold up the entire cheerleading order. Again, money is due at the time of purchase.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your coach or the cheerleading director, Patricia Wilkerson.

The plan remains to hand out equipment tonight, no practice.

We know some may not want to get out in light of the incoming weather, but we will be there from 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. for the brave souls that do.

If the forecast holds it looks like there is a very good chance we will get rained out on Tuesday (4/29). Assuming that's gonna happen, we're going to take advantage of the wasted night and issue equipment Tuesday instead. This will give everyone a chance to make sure everything fits properly before our first padded practice on 5/3. We will need a parent to come up with them to sign for the equipment. (This is football only)

Grasscutters will go first at 6:00 P.M.

Supers will go next at around 6:45 P.M.

Pee Wees will be issued immediately after Supers.

Tennessee has enacted a law effective 1/1/14 which requires that we must now have a concussion information form signed by both a parent or guardian as well the child participating. This applies to both cheer & football. And yes, we realize how stupid it sounds to require a 5 year old to sign a form that there's no way they understand, but it's the law now. EMFC has taken this very seriously, and will require us to have one of these forms signed for each football player and each cheerleader at Jamboree.

No Concussion Form at Jamboree = No Play.

We would've liked to have had this form ready for sign ups so you could've just completed it with all the other forms, but we just received confirmation that this is the form that EMFC wants.

Please print / sign and turn in to your team mom / director / or coaches.

Wet field + chilly temps = No practice tonight.
See everyone Thursday!

Due to Mother Nature's inability to make up her mind there will be no practice tonight. See everyone Thursday!

Grasscutter Cheer Head Coach Emily Stewart has had to step down due to family reasons. The Broncos would like to thank her for the time and effort she has put forth for our organization, and wish her and her family well. 

Anyone interested in applying for the Grasscutter Cheer Head Coach position can do so by sending an email to DandridgeBroncos@gmail.com. Please include your contact information.

All Broncos are invited to participate in the annual Dandridge Christmas Parade this Saturday (12/21/13). The floats will begin lining up at 11:30 A.M. around Maury Middle School, with the parade beginning at 1:30 P.M. Each team will have a float to ride on, and we suggest that you be there around 12:30 P.M. This will give you ample time to find your float and be ready when the parade begins. Since we have no control over where in the line they will put each float, the best we can suggest is to park as close to Maury Middle School as possible and walk the circle until you find us. Parents can pick up kids at Maury after the parade has ended. If your child would like to throw candy please send it with them.

Anyone wishing to apply for either Football or Cheer Director will need to email the following information to DandridgeBroncos@gmail.com:

1. Name & contact number for person wishing to be considered for director.
2. Sport they wish to be considered for.

The deadline for submitting this application is 11:59 P.M. on 12/31/13. No applications will be accepted beyond the deadline.

Anyone interested in applying for open head coaching positions will need to email the following information to DandridgeBroncos@gmail.com:

1. Name & contact number for person wishing to be considered for head coach.
2. Team / Squad they wish to be considered for.
3. Names of all assistant coaches they wish to have.

The deadline for submitting this application is 11:59 P.M. on 12/31/13. No applications will be accepted beyond the deadline.

The Annual Bronco Awards Presentation will be held on 12/6/13 at the Dandridge Activity Center from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.

We still have around 20 football & cheer participants that have not turned in their equipment / uniforms. We will have a table set up at the Awards Presentation to check in those items. Please keep in mind football / cheer participants that have outstanding equipment WILL NOT receive their awards until all equipment / uniforms have been turned in. 

The collection letters for Equipment / Uniforms will go out the week following Awards Presentation. (Please don't make us waste a registered letter on you!) :) 

We will be collecting equipment /cheer uniforms this Thursday (11/7) from 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. at the field.

If you have not turned in your child's equipment please do so. 

Congrats to our Grasscutters on a Super 2013 season!

The board has made a few changes for fundraising for this season.

Homecoming Queen fundraising drive will end at the end of practice on Thursday, September 19th. All money must be turned in to Cheer Director Patricia Wilkerson that night for it to be counted toward the Homecoming Queen contest. 

(New Parents - Our cheerleaders raise money for Homecoming, with each squad's top fundraiser being crowned Queen prior to our Homecoming game on October 5th.)

If the total funds raised by all three cheer squads exceeds $6,000.00 the girls can wear whatever they want for Homecoming. Within reason. (Not this) ;-)

The Homecoming Queen winner will also receive a $50.00 gift card in addition to her crown and other queenly swag. Also, every girl raising at least $100.00 will be receiving a trophy & $10.00 gift card.

Since the boys fundraiser (golf tournament) was a bust, their fundraiser this year will be Krispy Kreme Doughnut sales. The boys fundraiser will also end at the end of practice on Thursday, September 19th. All money must be turned into Treasurer Melinda Breeden that night for it to count toward the contest. The boy who raises the most money will receive a $100.00 gift card. Any boy raising at least $100.00 will receive a $10.00 gift card. 

Both contests start now. Football parents can download the Krispy Kreme Fundraising Form here. Price per dozen is $7.00.

Picture days have been re-scheduled as follows:

Tuesday, August 20th - Super Grasscutter Cheer & Pee Wee Cheer beginning at 6:00 P.M. (Pee Wee then Supers)

Tuesday, August 27th - Grasscutter Football & Grasscutter Cheer beginning at 5:00 P.M. (Football then Cheer)

Friday, August 30th - Super Grasscutter Football & Pee Wee Football beginning at 5:00 P.M. (Pee Wee then Supers)

If you cannot attend your scheduled time, you can simply work in on one of the other dates.

Picture money is due and payable the day of. To download the 2013 Picture Order Form click here.

Cheer Picture Day: 

There is a 70% - 80% chance of rain tomorrow, so as bad as we hate to do it we've canceled picture day for cheer tomorrow morning. We will re-schedule as soon as possible. One more time for clarity:

NO PICTURE DAY TOMORROW (8/10/13) FOR FOOTBALL OR CHEER. 

AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO PICTURE SCHEDULED FOR ANYONE.

WE WILL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS WE RE-SCHEDULE BOTH FOOTBALL AND CHEER.

Status of uniforms:

For football players who signed up late (Late would be any time after March 2013) We have been in constant contact with our supplier and he understands that we must have them no later than 8/24 for our first game. For scrimmages and things like Meet the Patriots tomorrow, your practice stuff with be fine. For those that out grew their uniforms over the summer, we have added those replacements to the order and they have promised to have them ready by 8/24 also. In the mean time the only event where a missing jersey with be an issue is at jamboree. You are technically supposed to have your game jersey with the correct number on when you are weighed in. If the jerseys are not back in time for jamboree on 8/17, they have told us we can just let them wear an orange shirt with the number taped on it with white masking tape. For the ones that out grew the jersey, you can just squeeze into the one we have and get your picture taken in it. Again late order jerseys and game pants should be here soon and we will let you know when they are.

Booster Club shirts: 

Our 2013 Booster Club T-shirt will be available at next Tuesday's practice (8/13). The cost for this stylish new piece of Bronco Swag will be $35.00, and jsut like last year it will get you into all 4 of our home games and any playoff games that are held at our field. So worse case scenario you will only have $15.00 in it, and probably less in the event of a playoff game. (Pee Wee head coach Jason Kelly has all but guaranteed another undefeated season to me, so we should be good for at least one playoff game.) 

Game Uniform:

I see a lot of players wearing the blue game socks we issued. That's fine, but you might want to think about using those sparingly. We don't have replacements and they will have to make it thru a long season. 

Same goes for game jerseys and pants. Please do not wear your game uniform in practice. (Game uniform is the orange pants with blue stripe and the orange jersey with name on it) If you do not have a pair of practice pants or jersey, please see me, Eddie or Chris for one. 

Our game belts are the royal blue ones we issued. New parents... those belts are one size fits all. Which means you will have to put it in the pants and on the player and then cut it off to size. Leave yourself about 4 - 6 inches of excess when you cut them. Also, you will need to take a lighter and singe the cut end to keep them from un-raveling. 

Meet the Patriots:

Tomorrow (8/10) 

Jefferson County High School

Grasscutters Vs Talbott - kickoff @ 2:30 PM 

Supers Vs Talbott - kickoff @ 3:00 PM

Pee Wee's Vs Talbott - kickoff @ 3:30 PM

Parents need to be there at least an hour early, have player dressed and ready there are no changing rooms. (I would suggest everything but helmets and shoulder pads.) Game uniform if you have it, if not just do the best you can with practice stuff.

Please make sure that you have tried on the game uniforms (orange pants and jersey) and made sure that they fit. We have several that outgrew their fitted size from Spring and now will need larger sizes made. That order has to be made today (8/6) for it to have any chance of being back by our first game. Let us know at DandridgeBroncos@gmail.com asap if you have a size issue.

Picture packages are due and payable the day the pictures are taken. Click here for order form.

E.M.F.C. voted to allow coaches to move up the date that teams are allowed to go full pads from 8/12 to 8/5. Broncos will be going full pads on 8/5 now. First day of practice (8/1) will remain helmets only. 

Evidently we some conflicts with vacations on the original planned cheer picture day on 8/3. As a result we are moving it to 8/10.

Cheer Picture Day will be 8/10/13 beginning at 9:00 A.M. at the field. 

Pee Wees - 9:00 A.M.

Supers - 10:00 A.M.

Grasscutters - 11:00 A.M.

Flag Football Practice has been cancelled tonight due to weather.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and participation and look forward to another great year of Broncos football & cheerleading. Go Broncos!!! 

E.M.F.C. football directors met on 3/9, here are some items of interest from that meeting:

• The divisions have been reset once again. The new division alignment has been updated and is available by clicking the 'E.M.F.C. Divisions' link at left.
• The release of the 2013 schedule will be delayed because of division re-alignment. The 2013 schedule will be announced a.s.a.p.
• Only the top 4 teams from each division (AFC / NFC) will advance to the playoffs. The 1 seed will play the 4 seed and the 2 seed will play the 3 seed on each side. The AFC & NFC brackets will remain locked, there will be no cross seeding this year. Below is how the new bracket will look: 

• A new 7 on 7 flag football season open from 5/20 to 6/21 was approved. This will be helmet only and participation is optional. More details to follow.
• Instituted a dead period from 7/1 to 7/31. No team is to have any football related activities during this time.

Tonight will be the final practice for all teams. The schedule will be as follows:

Grasscutters: No pads. T-Shirts, shorts & cleats. Please wash girdle, pants and jersey and bring all back in same equipment bag it was issued in. Someone will be checking in during practice. 

Supers: Helmets, T-Shirts, shorts & cleats. Please wash girdle, pants and jersey and bring all back in same equipment bag it was issued in. Someone will be checking in during practice. When practice is over we will just collect helmets and place in the players bag.

Pee Wees: No practice. Just equipment turn in. Please wash and sack up in same equipment bag it was issued in.

Again tonight is the last practice until 8/1/13. Tomorrow (5/18) was scheduled as a make up day in case we got rained out one day.

The Sign-up and Waiver forms are intended to be printed front-to-back on one sheet of paper, same goes for the Code of Conduct.

The EMFC / EMCC Waiver form should printed separately on a single sheet of paper, as it has to be turned in to EMFC. 

 

2013 Sign-ups are set!

• February 23rd, 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM - Football & Cheer ages 10 & 11*
  • (Born between 8/2/01 - 8/1/03)
• March 2nd, 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM - Football & Cheer ages 8 & 9*
  • (Born between 8/2/03 - 8/1/05)
• March 9th, 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM - Football & Cheer ages 5, 6 & 7*
  • (Born between 8/2/05 - 8/1/08)

Location: Eddie Reneau Field at the Field of Dreams (Concession Stand)

* If you missed or can't make it on your child's sign-up date please feel free to come to whichever date is convenient.

New for 2013:

• The sign-up fee is now $75.00. Football & Cheer.
• In addition to the sign-up fee we are offering an optional 'volunteer opt-out' fee of $25.00. We understand that not everyone is able to help out, be it work schedule or other time related issue. Sometimes you would rather just pay a little extra and not have to fool with dodging us when we ask for help in the concession stand. We understand and this fee is for you. Simply tell us at sign-up that you prefer to pay the fee, and add it to your total. For those choosing not to pay this fee, we just ask that you commit at sign-up to 4 volunteer efforts (i.e. concession stand, gate, field maintenance, etc.) during the season. The fee or commitments is per family not per child. (If you have multiple children in the program you would only pay one fee or 4 commitments.)
• Football will be going 'full pads' during spring practice this year. Because of this we will need to fit players with pads at sign-ups. This is why we are splitting up the sign-ups according to team. Hopefully splitting the teams up some will help avoid delays. We understand that not everyone will be able to attend on their child's assigned sign-up date, we just ask everyone to do the best they can. Please feel free to attend any of the sign-up times. (Equipment will not be issued until 5/4/13.)
• Custom jersey option. See details below.

Don't forget to bring a state issued copy of your child's birth certificate. 

All necessary sign-up forms are available below or in the 'Handouts' section at left.

Cheer uniform fittings will not be held at sign-ups. Cheer packs will be between $177.00 - $185.00 this year, and will not be due at sign-ups.

Below is a mock up of our new game uniforms.

We will be offering parents the option of either purchasing or fundraising for a customized jersey with your child's last name imprinted on it. After our season is over the jersey would be yours to keep. 

Options:

• Fundraise for it - Just sell 25 dozen Krispy Kreme Doughnut's between Sign-ups and 5/4/13.
  Order forms available at Sign-ups.

• Just buy it - Write a check for $50.00 anytime between Sign-ups and 5/4/13.

Questions:

If we decide not to purchase or fundraise for a custom jersey will our child's jersey be different than his teammates?

• No, the only difference would be no name on the back. Otherwise it will be the exact same jersey, and you would turn it in at the end of the season as usual.

Will my child be able to wear this jersey for multiple seasons?

• Yes, we hope to get 3 - 5 years use out of these jerseys. Compared to our old game uniforms these are superior in quality and should hold up much better. So as long as it fits they should be able to wear it for several seasons. 

Do we get to keep the pants also?

• No, just the jerseys. Pants will be turned at the end of the season as usual.

Anyone interested in submitting a resume for the following positions are invited to do so:

Football Director

Cheer Director

Please include the following information: size needed, player/cheerleader name & team. Size range is adult XS - adult 6XL. (no youth sizes) Also, if you as a parent are interested in purchasing a jacket simply include your size in same email. The cost per jacket is $30.00, and money will be collected at the Awards Banquet.

As most of you know we have tried to take more advantage of our website's e-mail feature this year to keep everyone up to date on happenings in Bronco Land. And for the most part it has worked out to be a fairly handy tool, unfortunately though just after we sent out the last e-mail update on 8/15/12 our entire e-mail database just disappeared. I have been attempting to work with tech support for several days to recover it, but they were not able to help us. It's just gone. So as bad as I hate to do it, I have to ask everyone to please re-enter your e-mail addresses on our website. This can be done by going to the site and clicking the link under the 'Join Our E-mail List' button on the left side of our page just below the menus. We apologize for the inconvenience. (On the up side, tech support did show me how to back-up the database, so after we rebuild it this will not happen again.)

The start time for our second game with Pigeon Forge on 9/1/12 has been moved up from 5:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. Also the Super Grasscutters will be the first game played that day, instead of the Grasscutters. Here is what the schedule that day will look like:

We will also start handing out the equipment to all football players tomorrow (8/3/12) beginning at 6:00 P.M.

Since we will be there anyway, we have decided to add a practice tomorrow (8/3/12) after the fitting makeup. All three football (Grasscutter, Super Grasscutter, and Pee Wee) teams will practice from 7:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M. This is Football ONLY.

All head coaches, assistant coaches and team mothers are asked to please contact Kristi Whillock no later than July 23rd and provide her with the necessary information for completing the required background check. (Applies to both football & cheerleading) This is very important, coaches/team mothers missing the July 23rd deadline may not be eligible to coach this year. Kristi can be reached at 865-387-4260.

A make up equipment fitting will be held on August 3rd from 6:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M. at our field. All players that have not yet been fitted are encouraged to attend. (Football Only)

The EMFC coaches meeting will be held at the Sevierville field house on July 28th at 10:30 A.M. Head coach attendance is required, assistant coach attendance is optional but encouraged.

We are moving the practice time for our first three practices (7/30, 7/31 & 8/2) from 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M. in an attempt to avoid possible excessive heat. All other practices will remain 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. unless weather dictates another change.

Registration fees must be paid in full by the end of our third practice (8/2). Participants not paid in full by this deadline will be cut from the roster.

We have been given permission to resume football practice on the game field beginning with our first practice on July 30th.

Equipment fitting for football will be handled a bit differently this year. We are fairly certain that we will need to order various items such as game jerseys, girdles etc. To avoid finding out we need these things at the last minute and then not having time to order them, we will be bringing in each squad separately and fitting them earlier than normal.

Pee Wees will be fitted on June 29th from 6:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M.

Super Grasscutters will be fitted on June 30th from 9:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M.
(Player last names A - K please arrive at 9:00 A.M. Player last names L - Z please arrive at 10:30 A.M.)

Grasscutters will be fitted on July 6th from 6:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M.
(Player last names A - O please arrive at 6:00 P.M. Player last names P - Z please arrive at 8:30 P.M.)

For new parents, this will all occur at our field.

This will be a fitting only. We will not be issuing the equipment. Once fitted the equipment will be bagged, tagged and stored until we issue it when practice begins. If you cannot make your fitting date, please contact either your coach or a board member to make arrangements.

We have cancelled our planned pre-season bowl tournament due to a lack of willing participants. Maybe next year...

If you need to drop-off ingredients or money for the Pancake Breakfast, or just need more tickets to sell, you can do so every Thursday from now until June 9th at the field. Someone will be there from 6:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M. on 5/24, 5/31 & 6/7.

Congrats to the Parents for their 21-7 victory over a turn-over prone Coaches team. Thanks to everyone that participated and attended! Have a great summer everyone! See you at the Pancake Breakfast June 9th.

We've had questions about what the best way for parents to stay informed regarding practice cancellations and other similar last minute scheduling changes. We have several different ways to get information out to the folks that need it:
* Website - The easiest is checking our website at www.DandridgeBroncos.com it is the first place we update when a "need to know" item comes up. It also has a calendar of upcoming events covering everything from practice/game dates, times and locations, to fund raisers and meetings. Pretty much anything you need to know is available there.
* Facebook - Next, we have a fan page on facebook at www.facebook.com/DandridgeBroncos which is updated anytime a new item is added to the website. All you have to do is like the page and you will start receiving the updates.
* Email alerts - We will send out a group email occasionally when an announcement is needed. To add your email address to the list simply go to our website and click the spinning mailbox on the left side under the menu, select the groups that you wish to receive alerts on and submit. (If you put an email address on the sign-up sheet when you signed your child up, it has already been added to the list.)
* Text alerts - We do have the ability to send out a group text alert from our website; however it is a bit of a hassle to sign up for. You must click the "Game Cancelled? - Sign up for our text & email alerts" button on our website and create an account to activate text alerts. This is the fastest and easiest method available to us for getting information out to you, unfortunately only 5 people have actually signed up for it. We will probably only begin using the text alerts when 15 - 20 parents sign up for it.
* Call or E-mail us - If all else fails call or email us. All board members, directors & coaches contact info is listed on the website, and our main email address is dandridgebroncos@gmail.com.

Due to the poor condition of the field the city has asked that we not practice football on it. Therefore until they decide otherwise, we will have to practice on the "soccer" field. (the grass area to the left of our parking lot, typically used for spill-over parking)Parents are asked to watch practice from either the parking lot side of the creek, or from under the trees on the hillside near the road. We will barely have room to practice three squads on what flat ground there is. ***Cheerleaders will still be allowed to practice around the edge of the field as normal.***

The 1st annual preseason 'Between The Lakes Bowl' will be held August 10th - 12th, 2012 at our own Eddie Reneau Field. Pee Wee & Super Grasscutter teams from the surrounding area will be invited to participate in what will be a three day, single elimination tournament culminating in a BTL Bowl Champion for both age groups. We will be posting brackets and game times as soon as all teams wishing to compete are confirmed.

We will be shipping all of our helmets out next Friday (3/30) to have them re-conditioned and painted. If you have not yet turned in a helmet from last year, we need you to please contact us so we can arrange to have it turned in before we ship. Parents turning in a helmet after 3/30, will be asked to pay the $40 cost of re-conditioning and shipping a single helmet. Please feel free to contact any board member to arrange a drop off, all board member contact info is listed at left in the "Board Contact Info" section.

We've been discussing the possibility of upgrading the Pee Wee's Football uniforms for the upcoming year. The issue is that the blue jerseys purchased for all three teams last year did not hold up well at all, especially for the Pee Wee's. Between replacing damaged jerseys and the ones purchased by outgoing seniors, we are looking at buying around 20 jerseys. The thought of spending more money on jerseys that we already know do not hold up is not a pleasant one. We have found a local company that can make custom jerseys & pants that are MUCH better quality for a very reasonable price. (See pic for example) Our question to the Pee Wee parents is this: If the board buys the custom pants, would you be willing to buy a keeper custom jersey with player name on the back for approximately $45? We've set up a poll at right, please only vote once. There is also a forum thread on the subject for discussion.

New section added just for Cheerleading. Please make it your one-stop shop for all your cheerleading info needs! 

|
The complete 2012 Football Schedule is now available in the "Schedule" & "Calendar" sections. All games for all teams listed, as well as dates and locations for 1st practice, Jamboree, playoffs and the Super Bowl. Spring practice dates have not been set yet, but we plan on making a decision on that at our March meeting.

There seems to be some confusion and/or controversy surrounding the 2012 cheer pack for the cheerleaders. So in the interest of avoiding this becoming a full scale Facebook worthy crisis the board will hold a special meeting at 12:00 P.M. this Saturday (3/3/12) to discuss it. We ask that anyone with a concern or issue regarding the cheer pack please attend this meeting.

We plan on using the E-Mail alerts feature on our website much more frequently this year. To that end, the old mailing list has been deleted. If you would like to subscribe to the list you will need to click the "Join Our E-Mail List" button at the lower left of this page. Please make sure to select all your preferred groups when subscribing, you will not be able to edit these choices later.

Introducing our new website domain name:

www.dandridgebroncos.com

Same page, just much easier to find!

The 2012 E.M.F.C. Waiver form is now available in the "Handouts" section. This in addition to the already available forms (Sign Up Sheet & Broncos Waiver) constitute all forms necessary to sign your child up for either football or cheerleading for the 2012 season.

Downloadable pdf versions of the 2012 Sign Up & Waiver Forms have been added to the "Handouts" section. Both forms can be printed front to back on a single sheet of paper and completed prior to attending sign ups if preferred. Blank forms will still be available on-site on each sign up day.
