· ALL COACH POSITIONS ARE VOLUNTEERS. GRIDIRON FOOTBALL DOES NOT PROVIDE COACHES (There are no refunds because a team is without a coach.)

· A Child Can Age Up to the next Division but not Age Down

· Locations, Schedules, and Dates are subject to change due the weather and/or the venue being rented by Gridiron.

· THERE ARE NO REFUNDS. If an age group does not have enough participants to make at least four teams, the format will change to a camp/clinic. That way, the kids will still learn the game and no team coach will be needed as the camp will be handled by staff.

· Rosters can be altered up until uniforms are ordered. New players can be added. Rosters will be made 14 to 16 days before opening day and coaches will notify their teams. If no coach has volunteered, the team will be contacted that a coach is needed.

· Divisions can be combined to complete team rosters and increase the number of opponents.

*Volunteer to coach as soon as possible. Coaches get to choose the team color if they volunteer before rosters are made. You can also start practices before the season begins. It is best to go through the volunteer process 30 days before opening day. “Head” coaches will also get discounts for future seasons.
