Football Parent's Frequently Asked Questions
When does the 2012 football season start and when does it end?The season begins with our first practice on August 1, 2012, at 6:00 p.m. Our season usually concludes on the last weekend in October. Is there a minimum age requirement to participate in tackle football?Your child must be 7 years of age by August 1, 2012. If your child is under the age of 7, they may participate in our Flag Football program. When do you practice? Starting August 1, football players will practice Monday through Thursday from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm, and Saturdays from 10:00 am until noon. This is a tentative schedule and may be adjusted slightly before the start of the season. Where do you practice?Our practices are held on the grass fields behind Brighton High School. When are the games?We play our regular season games on Sundays. Each Sunday, the C team kicks off at 11:30, followed by the A team at 1:30 and the B team at 3:30. Each game runs for approximately two hours. The schedule is not out for the 2011 season yet, but our first game will be on Sunday, September 4, 2011. We will have four home games and four away games. Our season usually concludes on the last weekend in October. Where are the games?Our home games are played on Brighton High School varsity field. Location of away games will be determined by who our opponents are. The 2012 schedule has not been released, so our opponents are to be determined. You can see a list of the teams in our league by visiting our league's website: http://ayfcl.org/members.htm What equipment is supplied & what will I need to buy?We provide most of the football equipment needed (helmet, shoulder pads, game uniform, etc.). This equipment is distributed before the first practice, and requires a $200 security deposit. After the season the equipment must be returned to the Junior Barons in clean, good condition. You will need to purchase the following for your child: protective cup, cleats, and a practice jersey. What is required of parents?Football & cheerleading is a family commitment. The Brighton Junior Barons is a 100% volunteer organization, and therefore depends entirely on the coordinated efforts of volunteers (you). As a parent you can expect that your children will receive quality coaching, will strengthen their values and bodies and will have a memorable season. To make that possible, the Junior Barons expect each family to volunteer for 10 hours (3 slots) during the season, per child participant. Anyone who has not signed up by August will be assigned a job before the season starts. Your child will not be allowed to play or cheer until you have committed to 10 hours of volunteer work for the team. Additional volunteer information is available on our Volunteer information page.
Brighton Junior Barons FootballThe Brighton Junior Barons is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit, all-volunteer organization. Boys and girls participate in our football and cheerleading programs. Our goal is to teach the fundamentals of each sport, promote sportsmanship and teamwork, while encouraging each child's personal development. In 2008, youth football and cheerleading returned to Brighton for the first time in more than 20 years. We are striving to become an integral part of our community. We are a member of the American Youth Football & Cheerleading League (AYFCL), an independent youth football and cheerleading league based in the Greater Rochester, NY area. Our coaches bring years of experience to the field. With their guidance, your child will develop football or cheerleading skills, have fun and make new friends. We hope your family will join the Brighton Junior Barons' family!
