Registration Update
Registration is going very well – teams are filling fast. The Rookies football squad is full. Starts and JV is almost full and Varsity is half full already. Roster limits are 32 at Starts and 35 at the other levels. Cheerleading is going more slowly. Youth football programs compete with numerous cheer and dance organizations for girls. The Raiders are offering an incentive to all currently registered football players and cheerleaders. If you recruit a cheerleader to the Raiders, you will get a Raiders jacket or $50.00 credit on your family fundraising once they are registered. Let’s recruit lots of girls so we can rock the stadium with our spirit.March 5, 12, 19 and the 26th are the next registration dates at Round Table Pizza from 6:00-8:00.
All registration fees must be paid be March 12th to keep your spot on the team.
