What can I say, this has been an extraordinary season for me personally. The last game said it all. The team fought until the final second and I quote the Dolphins coach “ Your team came to play” and their assistant said “best game of the season for the league”. We had 11 kids playing their tail off against a team that has not  scored no less than three touchdown every single game. We held them to 1 and almost tied it up at the end on a fantastic play that involved everyone. It has been my pleasure coaching your kids. This by far has been the most rewarding year for me when I look at where the kids started to where they are now in terms of their football/team work skills.

We will have a team party, the date has not been finalized but Tanya will keep you all informed.

Equipment turn in will be this Wednesday from 6:30pm-7pm. Not sure if received the emails from the league or not but see below for details.

See you all Wednesday night!!!

s Cleaning Instructions

1.  All equipment must be returned clean and in good condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted) to avoid being charged a fee for the item.  We are going to be stricter about enforcing this rule this season because in the past couple of years we have purchased a lot of new equipment and want to keep it in good condition.  We'd rather spend money on replacing more equipment than wasting it on re-buying items we just replaced. The"golden rule" is: "Return the equipment in a condition that you would want it to be issued to your child".

2.  All helmet stickers should be removed.  The stickers that the league has supplied should not leave any residue.  If necessary, warm the sticker slightly with a blow dryer.  If the helmet has any "sticky" stuff on it, please rub off or remove with "Goof off".  Please do not use nail polish remover or acetone as this will damage the plastic. 

 3.  The helmet (including the facemask and chinstrap) and shoulder pads should be washed with warm soapy water and allowed to air dry.  Following this, please spray both helmet and shoulder pads with a disinfectant spray such as Lysol to kill any germs and allow to dry again.  Both of these steps need to be followed to properly disinfect the equipment.  

 4.  Remember not to over-dry the integrated pants and girdles as this will result in the pads shrinking.  However, all equipment must be returned dry to avoid mildew/germ issues.

 5.  Coaches are expected to assist with their team's equipment return. 

 6.  All equipment is returned to the storage building at the Topsham Fairgrounds (where you received it).

7.  All of the trophies are in, but each teams will not be released until their equipment has been returned.
