Learn to Play athletes will not be issued tackle football equipment; however, they will receive a uniform they will be able to keep at the end of the season.

FAMILY CONTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS & VOLUNTEER DEPOSIT

The Lutz Chiefs Youth Football and Cheer is a volunteer run, non-profit organization. It is expected that EVERY Lutz Chiefs family will contribute time to the organization's operations. You can contribute by coaching, being a team parent, holding a Board position, or volunteering to help run home games and/or events.

If you are not a badged volunteer, you will be expected to sign-up for a certain number of "shifts" throughout the season. These shifts typically include roles like collecting game-day gate fees, working the concession stand, game-day setup/teardown, etc. The number of required shifts will depend on how many athletes you have, registration numbers, and our home game schedule.

You will be required to provide a monetary volunteer deposit before your athlete is allowed to participate. Once your family's volunteer obligation has been met, your deposit will be returned to you.


EQUIPMENT DISTRIBUTION & DEPOSIT (TACKLE FOOTBALL ONLY)

Equipment Distribution Day is a MANDATORY event for all tackle players. Attendance is a requirement to participate in the season. There will be no other make-up dates, so SAVE THIS DATE!
