How often do teams practice? Are practices the same day every week?

• Location and time is TBD by the Coaching staff
• Grades 1-3 can expect 1 practice per week 
• Grades 4-8 can expect up to 2 practices per week
• While we attempt to schedule practices for the same day every week, due to vacation days, parent/teacher conferences, concerts, and other school activities, there is sometimes variation week to week. Coaches will respond with the day, time and location

***Please Note:  We cannot move practice and game schedules to accommodate other sports***

What if my son/daughter wants to play on the same team with a friend?

• Ridgefield Youth Football and Cheer holds evaluations and a draft system to try to ensure, to the best of our ability, that teams are level
• We have found over the years that an assessment and draft selection policy with teams chosen by the coach streamlines the process and avoids a lopsided team
• Therefore, children cannot be placed with a friend unless a Coach selects them onto the same team during the draft process. Note: Brothers/Sisters will be automatically placed on the same team.  No other special requests can be accommodated due to the size of the program
