PRACTICE INFORMATION:

Football Players:  During the month of August, all players (Freshmen – Varsity) MUST practice five (5) days a week, Monday through Friday, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.  Practice time will change as daylight hours shorten.  Western Suburban Junior Football League rules requires four weeks of conditioning training prior to the first game to help reduce risk of injury.  After the first game, players will practice four days per week, Tuesday-Friday with occasional Saturday “walk-through” practice prior to Sunday Games.

Cheerleaders:  July 25-29th, all squads MUST practice five (4) days this week – 6:00-8:00 pm.  Prior to the first game, all squads will practice four days a week, (M, T, W, and Th) from 6:00-8:00 p.m.  Once the games starts, the cheerleaders will practice three days a week (T, W & Th) Junior Freshman will practice T, W, and Th prior to games and after the first week, and Tues & Thurs after the season has started.  Two weeks prior to Rally, all girls are required to practice every day leading up to Rally 2012.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

It is important that all cheerleaders and football players attend every practice for the purpose of conditioning and education.  The Canton Lions stress commitment, responsibility, integrity and leadership to think……  act…..  play…..  like champions!  Football and Cheerleading are TEAM sports; which mean everyone carries their load of responsibility.  Therefore, absences from practice are managed as follows:  NOTE:  School Dances are NOT excused! School Camp is excused, but a note on school letterhead is required.  All school graded functions are excused if presented on school letterhead.

2 Excused Absences* = watch ½ game

3 Excused Absences* = watch 1 ENTIRE game

1 Unexcused Absence = watch ½ game

2 Unexcused Absences = watch 1 ENTIRE game

15 Minutes or more tardy game = watch 1st quarter of game

*If you are required to stand out a game, you must still attend the game to support your TEAM*

An absence is considered ‘excused’ when a parent notifies the Head Coach of a possible absence BEFORE practice, not after.  Religious Education and School graded functions, such as

Choir, Band and Student Government are of course excused, but please try to notify coaches ahead of time.  Religious Education courses/classes should be scheduled on our off days.

Soon after the season begins, children may complain about stiffness and soreness during the early weeks of practice.  This is normal and will go away as they get into playing shape.  Please do not keep them from attending practice for minor aches and pains. 

Football players and Cheerleaders who attend ALL practices & games (without tardies 8/2012 – 11/2012) will receive a Canton Lions Iron Man/Woman awarded at the Banquet.
