Practice this week

Our practice this week will return to its normal day of Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:00 pm at Flynn Field. Again, please bring at least one gatorade or water to stay hydrated as it is still very hot at this time of day! See you there!

1st game of season on 9/19

We wanted to congratulate the Mongooses on their first game of the season!! Thanks also to all of the parents who helped coach with Ted and Mark. They were extremely helpful and Ted would like everyone to know that he would appreciate your help whenever you possibly can!! If you have any pictures of the game would you please email them to me and I can add them to the blog. The final score of the game was 22 to 8 with the Bears winning the game. We are all so proud of our Mongooses and how they played their hearts out and made such a great showing last Saturday!! I am confident that this season will only get better and better!

New email from head of I9

The 2009 Fall Flag Football Season is almost here! By now you should have heard from your child's coach. If for some reason you have not, please respond to this email with your full name, your child's name, and your best contact phone number. As always, one of our objectives is to always make sure that the parents are in the loop and know what is going on. Here is a quick update:

SCHEDULE: All league schedules have been posted online on our website which you can access by clicking on the "Flag Football" tab, and then clicking on "Schedules." Or for a direct link, try clicking here. The UNF League will begin on September 12th and the Beaches, Mandarin, and Oakleaf Leagues will all begin on September 19th.

RULE BOOK: Don't forget that all players should become familiar with the revised Rule Book prior to the first game. The Rule Book can be downloaded and printed off of our website at any time or by clicking here. There are a few tweaks from last season, so please make sure you are familiar with the rules before opening day!

LOCATIONS: Field directions to each venue can be found on our website. From our i9 Sports of Jacksonville home page, click on the "Flag Football" tab, and then click on "Locations." Or try clicking here.

EQUIPMENT & JERSEYS: Please remember that the league requires all players on the field to have a mouth guard at all times and no pockets or belt-loops on their shorts/pants. Also, shorts/pants may not be red in color, as that is the same color as the flagbelts. Black shorts/pants are recommended as they go well with the Red/Black i9 Flag Jerseys!

TEAM ASSIGNMENT: Once again, if for some reason you have not yet heard from your child's coach, please respond to this email and let us know, and please provide your full name and best contact phone number to reach you at.

Please feel free to respond to this email with any questions. Otherwise, have a great Labor Day Weekend, and we'll see you on opening day!

Our first game is September 19, 2009, at 11:00. Please arrive at 10:00 a.m. for practice. I will be making a list and posting on the blog the snack schedule for each game.

Practices

Ted received the full roster from I-9 a few days ago, so we have set a day to practice each week. We will be practicing on Wednesday nights from 5:30 to 6:30 at Flynn Field. Flynn Field is at the corner of Orange Picker Road and Flynn Road in Mandarin. We will begin practice this week, September 2, 2009. Please have your child wear shorts that don't have pockets, a comfortable shirt and regular tennis shoes. Also, have your child bring at least one bottle of water or gatorade to practice! It is still extremely hot out there! Any questions, please feel free to contact me at 616-2802 or Molly.Pina@gmail.com.
See you Wednesday!
