Sandy Oregon Youth Football

Monthly Board Meeting Update

Currently, Our Monthly Board Meetings Are Being Done Via Zoom Video Meetings Due To The Covid 19 Social Distancing Requirements. The Board Meeting Notes Will Be Posted On Our Site As Soon As We Get Them Prepared And Ready.

Hello Sandy Youth Football and Cheer Families,

We hope everyone is well and staying healthy. We know there is a lot of uncertainty during this time with most of it being outside our control.

We are sending this message to let you know what the Board is focusing on for the upcoming season.

Sandy Youth football and Cheer will be continuing on as if our season will happen as scheduled. Continue registering your children to play and please keep them active so they are physically ready when the season begins.

At this time we are not changing our direction based on what has been published. We have implemented a three step plan as we go through these uncharted times. Our decision will be made with the best intentions for all our players heath and safety.

We have put together a timeline where corrections can be made if needed as we prepare for the coming season.

Adjustments to the season will be made no later then July 31st.

We will prepare alternative scenarios in June; these could include starting the season later, shortening the season, re-configuring what the season will look like or cancelling if that is the only option.

Season fees for our program are largely made up of insurance, field use and officiating. Given the current environment, we will assess the collection of fees based on the following:

Insurance: In a regular season, we would purchase insurance for the coming year in July as we prepare to take the field in August for practices. We will assess the current situation by June 30th to determine if we will continue as planned or to hold off purchasing insurance until a later date.

Officiating: We are not collecting officiating fees until we have a published schedule in August.

Our field use is not charged unless we step on the field. We are currently trying to reserve the field as the OTSD typically will not charge us unless we actually use it.

We will hold off ordering and paying for things until we know how this season will proceed so we can give our families most, if not all, of their money back if the season does not happen.

Sandy Youth Football and Cheer Board is made up of a group of volunteer parents who have done an amazing job with this program. Every decision made is based on what is best for the children and the program. Our board and youth program is one of the most organized and well managed in the area.

We are looking forward to returning to some degree of normalcy and hope that includes football this

Regards,

Sandy Youth Football

Sandy Youth Football Mission Statement

Sandy Youth Football is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching, promoting and governing all aspects of football among all players who join our league. We strive to implant firmly in those players the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, and respect for authority so that they may grow up to be well adjusted, strong, trustworthy individuals. We believe in improving the future of our kids through focusing on the importance of academics, social achievement and having fun and being safe along with positive experiences on and off the football field.
