River Falls Summer Speed & Strength for the High School and Middle School registration is open.  Please do the district web site at: http://www.rfsd.k12.wi.us/district/summer_school.cfm

We are excited to open registration for the 2018 Youth Football Season.  We are going to play flag in all levels this year. 

Each year we discuss the flag versus tackle decision.  We as a board want to assure we do what is best for the majority of the kids and the River Falls Football program.  The decision we made is to play flag for all levels next year.  In numerous discussions this year, Head Coach David Crail expressed a strong recommendation to go to flag.  Please understand, this decision does not come lightly.  We understand that some people will not agree with it, but we hope that we can show you that we can continue to run a great program without tackling.

We see numbers consistently on the decline around the nation and this great sport is under scrutiny with the constant focus on concussions.  We have always had the kid’s safety as our number one priority and we feel flag provides a safer environment.

We are working on the transition plan now and I can tell you we will still focus preparing kids for the next level.  There are numerous things we can teach to help their transition from flag to tackle in 7th grade.

Here are some of the exciting things we are doing this year:

• Season starts in the beginning of August and goes through the middle of October
• 7-on-7 flag football
• High School Player Involvement (Combine nights, referees)
• No more designated player, everyone can play every position

Our registration fee is $95.  If you are in need of financial assistance, please feel free to fill out the 2018 Scholarship Link on the top right of the home page, under the main registration link.

We as a community have a very critical referendum coming up on April 3, 2018 as it relates to not only our school improvements in Question #1, but also the future of our activities and athletic facilities in Question #2. On behalf of the activities community we are excited to invite you to a Q&A presentation on March 20th at RFHS. Attached you will find a "Save the Date" that summarizes the evening as well as a visual concept of Question #2.

We ask that you please attend and invite anyone that has interest in activities within the River Falls community to attend this presentation. The time is now, we have a goal of 2,500 YES votes to get this referendum passed. It is important that we educate our community on the importance of Question 1 & 2 and get out and vote on April 3rd.

Thank you for your commitment to making River Falls a great community. See you on March 20th.  We have a link to the announcement on our home page.

Sincerely,
River Falls Youth Football
