Please note:  Assistant coaches, team moms and teen trainers are chosen  by the team head coaches and turned in to the Directors of Cheer and Football for approval on a YEAR to YEAR basis and will be announced as the season gets closer.

If you are a trainer, team mom or assistant coach from any of the teams last year, and wish to return, please contact the current team head coach with your intent as soon as possible.  Assistant Coaches, Team Moms and Teen Trainers are not automatically placed back on the same teams simply because you were there last year.  You must let the CURRENT head coach know you are interested!
