Physical: All 3rd to 6th grade football players need an active physical on file to participate in practice or games. Physicals completed just prior to the Spring 2021 season shall carry over to Fall 2021. Forms may be turned in at equipment handouts or by the first practice. Grades K-2 Flag Football and all Cheer do not require a physical.

BYFA understands there is a Buckeye baseball camp during the week and has extended the 7/28 hours accordingly. Players are required to provide their own padded girdles and are recommended to wear them to try on the football pants. Padded compression shirts worn under the shoulder pads are allowed but not required. Please bring a clothes basket or large bag to gather your equipment in.
