It was a great day for football and the whole day was a blast. The games were great, the visitors were fantastic and the food was out of this world.
We added some new items to our menu....Pulled Pork and Artichoke French....I can't wait for lunch this coming Sunday.

We are two weeks into the practice season and everything seems to be moving along just fine. We will be attending the August 23rd, Hilton/Greece Scrimmage to test what we have done so far. This is a great way to take a look at what we think works. Every year, we come back to practice the following week and make the adjustments needed.
This year we also added a scrimmage with Penfield. We will be hosting this scrimmage August 30 at our home field.
Thank you to all the parents for your dedication to getting your participants to practice on time.
Always remember.....if there is even a question regarding the weather during practice hours....return to the field immediately just in case we cancel practice early.

We are offering a new way to cut costs for families of our participants. By seeking out sponsors and/or donations you can receive discounts and even receive your registration for free. Please call for information if you have not received the Family Sponorship email notification.

There will be improvements made to our home field this year. We have a company starting work on the field this month. The town of Gates will be funding most of the cost.

Our season starts in less than 6 weeks. It will be here before you know it.

Another month closer to the start of our season.
Rickey Ellis was voted in as president of our teams. Ed Donlon has moved to the VP spot as well as all the other jobs he does for us.
Lisa Bianchi was voted in as secretary of the board.

The Gates Jr Spartans' booster club is planning a Vegas style Casino Night for September. They are looking for a location. As soon as there is a location found, we will start promoting the event and fundraiser.

We have held two registration to date.
B Squad football roster is full, but we are keeping a waiting list just in case participants drop out.
A and C Football Squads are filling up fast, but there are spots open at this time.
There are also spots open for Flag Football.
Cheerleading is filling fast as well, but there are spots left on all squads.

You can register anytime by calling 739-2488 or emailing ellco@rochester.rr.com

We are in the American Conference this year. We will be playing the following teams:
Brighton jr. Barons
Irondequoit Vikings
Webster Titans
Webster Warriors
Churchville Chargers
Brockport Eagles
Rush-Henrietta Jr. Royal Comets

The 2009 season will be extended to a 9 week season, with the games starting September 6 and running 9 consecutive Sundays.
There will be one cross-over game in our schedule. This is due to both conferences having an odd number(9) teams in each.

Please keep in mind that no equipment will be distributed to any participant that has not handed in all paperwork and/or all registration payments are made in full. This will keep our board members from having to run around during the season, trying to get everything in order. We are going to be very strict with this rule and hope that everyone understands.
