PLAYING TIME:

UNIFORMS & EQUIPMENT:

As part of the New Player registration fees, the player  will be issued practice and game uniforms, knee pads, and a football girdle.  We recommend that you purchase a helmet and shoulder pads through the Warriors if you do not already own each of those.  This is so that we can verify the quality of the pads/helmet.  If you bring your own helmet or shoulder pads, they must be approved by the athletic director for correct size and quality.  If approved, some of the registration fees can be reduced.  Junior High has the option to rent helmets and shoulder pads in order to reduce the cost of entry.  Varsity rentals will be considered after the Junior High families have been covered.  

Mouthpiece/Guard is the responsibility of each player.

Cleats (must be black, white, navy, or orange football cleats), equipment bag, undergarments, gloves, elbow pads, ankle braces, specialized gear, etc. are the responsibility of each player.

Families are required to reimburse the Warriors for replacing any lost equipment that was rented/loaned to the player while it is in the player's care.

The Warriors play games as far away as Oklahoma, Louisiana, and throughout Texas. A parent/legal guardian must accompany players while the team is traveling unless acceptable arrangements have been made in advance. It is the responsibility of each player to make proper travel arrangements. This includes the trip to Panama City, Florida, in November. The Warriors DO NOT provide a team bus.
