Every year Park Ridge Sports, Inc. offers an opportunity for youth football players from around our area to participate in our travel and house youth football programs as an affiliate of the Park Ridge Park District. We are proud of our history and support of the Park Ridge community, including its local high schools, since 1967. As you know, both Maine South and Maine East have a rich tradition in high school football, and the Maine South Hawks football program is one of the finest high school programs in the country.
In that tradition, Park Ridge Sports, Inc. is proud to announce its 10th annual “Park Ridge Football Night” at Maine South High School’s Wilson Field on Friday, September 20, 2024 vs Barrington. Attendees will watch the Maine South varsity football game and be recognized as a youth football player or cheerleader in our Falcons Travel Tackle, Flag Football, Spirit Cheer, and Competitive Cheer programs.
We’re expecting a great turnout once again and encourage everyone to review the expectations for the event that will be laid out in an email early next week. As in the past, middle school-aged football players will be invited inside Maine South to watch the pre-game preparations while younger athletes will form a tunnel from the Main Gate of Wilson Field to the northeastern corner of the MS gym. Winter hats, PRFB & Cheer white sponsor t-shirts, and white drawstring bags will be given out between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM in the soccer practice field (same as last year), on the west side of Wilson Field, until supplies last – 1 item per player, first come first serve. ALL athletes wearing their jersey or uniform will be allowed to run across Wilson Field at the START of the game, so in the email next week, we will address where to congregate and adult supervise all children while on MS property, while still providing a unique, one-of-a-kind memory for these kids!
