What do you do when a child (or teenager) refuses to do their schoolwork or chores? Exactly how do you motivate a child who doesn’t seem to respond to consequences? How do you, as a parent or caregiver, keep your cool and stay out of lecturing, reasoning, repeated warnings, threats and bribes? Come and learn strategies to take some of the “work” out of getting your child to do their work.

7 on 7 football is a fast-paced, pass-oriented form of football that was designed to hone the skills of football players in the spring without putting the physical toll on their bodies.
The games are played on half of a football field with offenses always moving towards the same end zone. There are no running plays allowed, although dumping the ball off to a RB behind the line of scrimmage is permitted.
There is no pass rush and the QB must release the ball in a limited amount of time or be penalized. No tackling is permitted; simply touching the offensive player stops play.
In order to make this league work, we need coaches to work with the teams. Please consider volunteering or talk to someone you know about volunteering.
Game schedule will be emailed to all participants after registration is complete.
Practice times will depend on coach.
Each participant will receive a t-shirt.
