2008 Tigers News
New Season Is Here!The Club recently announced the schedule for the 2008 season. More games should be added as the pre season continues, but currently the Tigers enjoy ten dates of football in 2008. The season kicks off with a possible tournament down in Florida, followed by a couple of encounters with familiar competitors. An updated schedule will be announced soon but already this season promises to provide the most football action the Tigers have ever witnessed. The club is also incorporating the successful Black v White jersey game which will be especially welcomed by the newer players joining the club. The full schedule will be announced and discussed at the first official practice, Saturday 1st March.
Mandatory Try Outs -
The club is to the size now where players are competing for playing time. Saturday 1st March is the first official practice for the club for the 2008 season, but it also marks our first try out for the season. General football skill and fitness will be assessed by the coaching staff. Everyone will again be given the opportunity to play this year, but the coaches do want to focus on players positions at this try out to allow them, and the players, to educate and learn the position and what is required to be successful at that spot on the field. So come prepared to run, kick, and listen!
501c3: Non-Profit -
The Board of Directors, led by Michael Jett in his role as Sponsorship Director, have brainstormed to further increase sponsorship levels. This year we are a 501(c)(3) CHARITY so any donations are tax deductible. The club is calling on all players to take it upon themselves to ask their network of associates if they would be interested in donating to the Tigers. We have an automated process in place to provide written acknowledgment of the contribution for tax purposes, so it has never been easier (or cheaper) to help the Tigers. The club is currently speaking to companies around town to secure primary sponsorship for the upcoming year. President Wesley McCallister has hefty goals in mind “Jett has provided more dedication and service to this cause than anybody prior, so we should see better returns than ever before.” Regardless, the Tigers are excited to embark on the challenge to grow the club off the field.
