Updates - 8/22

Hi Everyone,

Great scrimmage Saturday! I am excited to see our boys start playing in games that count.

This will be our last week of practicing every night. Starting next week(Aug. 30th), we will only practice Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

This Wednesday, Aug. 25, we will practice be from 5:00-6:15. We will be scrimmaging the same team again, and would like to start at 5:15 so please have your child to practice promptly.

The make-up day for weigh-ins is Aug. 24th at Burgess Park in Alpine, I do not have a time yet. Please call or email me if your son did not get weighed in the first time. If any players fail to be weighed, they will automatically be "x-men" which will severely limit the positions they can play.

Below is a link to the site where our schedule can be viewed. I will consolidate our teams games and print it off so everyone has a hard copy as well.

Weigh-in Reminder

Hi Everyone,

The boys played great at the Jamboree. I have never had to showcase a team with less than 4 weeks of practice so I literally could not be more proud of your boys.

Quick reminder about weigh-ins tomorrow.We are scheduled to weigh in from 6:00-6:10pm. Please bring a copy of your son's birth certificate to leave with the league rep. If your son played for Lehi last year, you do not need to provide this.

Physicians will be on hand to provide physicals for $20. Your child needs to have a physical prior to the first game (estimated Aug. 28th). If your son has had one within the last 6 months, a signed form from the providing physician will suffice.

Thanks again,
Coach Blake

Jamboree

Hey Everyone,

The opening ceremonies for the Jamboree on Saturday are at 9:00 and we play right after so I would like to have the boys meet me at the Lehi High School football field at 8:45. I would like to gather behind the home stands. Please let me know if your player will not be able to come.

Thanks again,

Coach Blake

August 14th - LYF Jamboree

LYF Jamboree 2010 – Saturday, August 14

The 3rd Annual LYF Jamboree will be held Saturday August 14th at Lehi High School.

How it Works: Two teams will scrimmage for 30 minutes with their coaches on the field. This provides great coaching opportunities in a game atmosphere. Each team will take turns starting from the 50 yard line and run 10 offensive plays to go as far as they can or score. Coaches will officiate with a little help from Game Field Coordinators.

Why have a Jamboree: Not only does this event offer our youth football players the opportunity to play on the high school field, it is the main source of fund-raising for our league. It’s through this event that we pay for many of the supplies that are required to maintain and grow the league year over year. It’s through the yearly Jamboree where we hope to obtain enough financial assistance that it not be neccessary for our coaches and players to participate in the door to door, family and friends selling of 3rd party goods or services. So please come and support the Jamboree, please invite your extended family members to attend as well. We look forward to seeing everyone this coming Saturday.

All of us on the Board of Directors appreciate the support we receive from each and everyone of you. We hope that each of you in turn appreciate all the time and energy that your Head Coach and their staff donate in order to coach and train your son.

We also would like to thank our Sponsors for all of the financial assistance and resources they provide to help make Lehi Youth Football a success.

Suggested Admission Donations are $10 per family, $4 per adult, or $3 per student. (Note: As a token of our appreciation for the coaches and the time they donate to Lehi Youth Football we are suggesting coaches forgo any donation for admission into the Jamboree)


Cory Adams Photography will be taking individual and team photos after each scrimmage so please do not leave the High School until after your son’s team has had their picture taken. Photo packages will be available for purchase during the scrimmage.

Below is the most updated schedule of scrimmage times for this year’s festivities. (Note: Please check back often as these times are subject to change)

Practice Cut Short

Hi again,

Just a quick note to thank all the parents that were able to pick up their players yesterday. I know how busy life can get, and really appreciate you making the time to pick your sons up earlier than originally planned.

As most of you know, practice was cut short yesterday due to the thunderstorm warning issued for Utah County. In my 15+ years as a player or coach, I have never had a practice or game cancelled due to weather. Lightning can be dangerous for kids running around in an open field, and for this reason, is basically the only weather condition that warrants postponing games/practices. If it's raining, you can plan on still having a practice. If you see severe lightning, I would check the blog to see if a practice or game is cancelled.

I hope to see everyone at tonight's practice, rain or shine. Hopefully, no lighting.

Thanks everyone,
Coach Blake

Parents Meeting

Hi Everyone,

We will be having a parents meeting directly after practice on Saturday, August 7th. Practice will run from 8:30 to 10:00 Saturday morning.

The meeting shouldn't take too long, depending on questions, but should be a valuable use of your time relating to this season.

Thanks again,

Coach Blake
