The countdown has begun for the 2012 NRMFA season . We are just hours away from the first practices of the season. As you know we have made a number of changes for the upcoming year which we believe will make for an exciting season. One major change will occur on game day May 27th we have secured the only two turf fields for football in the area for our opening games . This means that all opening day games will be played on turf which for most players will be a very unique experience . An extra bonus for the Kiwanis field games will be the unveiling of our new sound system , as well as a BBQ fundraiser .
This year we have an odd number of teams in our Bantam division which will affect the number of home games some teams will have, this is unavoidable and we have attempted to balance the schedule as much as possible within the parameters of available fields, teams and referees.
I would like to remind all of you about our strict code of conduct . We take very seriously the proper behavior of our coaches, parents and players both on the sideline and on the field. Each year I receive emails from parents about parents who like to follow their team up and down the field cheering them on ,of course I applaud your enthusiasm but standing in front of fans  who have taken the time to come early and to get a good vantage point displays poor sportsmanship . Lets all be respectful of all fans regardless of which team you cheer for. I would also like to bring to your attention that the consumption of alcoholic beverages in the parking lot or on the sideline is strictly forbidden, the mixing of a contact sport with alcohol is a bad idea. Individuals run the risk of being banned from fields as well as potentially causing NRMFA to lose our permits, so please give serious thought to bringing alcohol to the game
