Important Reminders for Equipment Pick-Up

Please bring a $300 deposit check. The check will be held and returned uncashed when equipment is returned at the end of the season.
If this is your player’s first year playing Park Ridge Falcons tackle football, please also bring a copy of the player’s birth certificate.
Players must attend equipment pick-up so they can be properly measured and fitted for equipment.

Player Evaluations
Player evaluations will begin on July 30. Coaches at each level will lead the evaluation process and determine player placement based on performance, development needs, and the overall needs of the team.
While each coaching staff may take a slightly different approach, our program’s philosophy is to place players where they can best develop while also maximizing opportunities to participate in games at an appropriate skill level. Player safety, coachability, sportsmanship, growth, and fun are at the center of every placement decision.
Attendance at evaluations is expected and considered mandatory, except for vacations or other unavoidable circumstances. Evaluations also help with conditioning and prepare players for the season ahead. If your child will be absent for any reason, please notify the coaching staff as soon as possible. Coaches can only evaluate what they are able to observe, so attending all scheduled sessions gives each player the best opportunity to be fairly evaluated.

All Flag & Spirit Cheer. Falcons & PRC may be spread across multiple weekends.
PRFB provides pizza for each team & cheerleaders to enjoy post game. Typically, teams have their families bring additional food and drink to share. Usually a parent, or two, will step up and coordinate. There will be picnic tables for each team to gather around after the game. Try to make a big deal of the day for your team. Things that have been done in the past are; hoops to jump through, banners to run through, playing team fight songs, announcing the players on a megaphone, eye black, face paint, team face tattoos, team caravans to the game, etc. Whatever you ultimately decide to do, please don’t delay the start of the game. Most importantly, have fun!!! Teams with Cheerleaders will receive roses to hand out to cheerleaders at halftime. For tackle football please do not paint hair as it can ruin the helmets. Teams with Cheerleaders should have the players and cheerleaders celebrate together. Please refer to TeamSnap and your coach for game times/locations.
