SVJFAC will be conducting a football player’s clinic the month of July. Various sessions will available for all kids between the ages of 6 thru 12. The cost is $30.00 a player. The sessions will run from 6:15pm until 8:15 pm. T he only requirement is that the child or children registered are of the age by August 1, 2007. All children, regardless whether or not they are signed up to play for SVJFAC in 2007, are welcome to participate in the clinic.

The head and assistant coaches of SVJFAC will be running the clinic. For the coaches this will allow them to help the kids with football skills, build relationships for the upcoming season and share ideas with the

other coaches.

If interested, we will have a registration table set up at both equipment handout sessions; Dates to be Decided. All checks will be payable to SVJFAC).

Lottery Process

Once registration for the upcoming season has completed, it is possible that some age groups will have more children registered than there are available spots on teams. To address this issue, SVJFAC has adopted a lottery process to make placement on a team as fair as possible for all children. The full description of the lottery process can be found here.

Usually there are a number of children that drop out over the summer due to changing interests, family relocation and other events. Although no promises can be made, there is a good chance that a number of kids will be moved from the waiting list to a team prior to the start of the season in August.

Questions should be directed to the football coordinator.

Pre-Season Conditioning - Numbering Scheme

All players for this season should be getting in shape prior to the start of practice. Between now and August 1st, each player should work their way up to doing 50 sit-ups, 30 push-ups (using good form) and 10 sprints (20 yds. for 6/7, 30 yds for 8/9 and 40 yds. for all other age groups.)

In addition, the children should study the numbering scheme we will be using this year. you can download it here.
