July 14, 2012 Skills Clinic is included in your Fall Football Registration Fee.  If you are not registered for Fall Football, but would like to participate, you can sign up for $50.  The clinic will be held at the Lake Travis High School upper fields. This is a wonderful opportunity for new players to be introduced to football fundamentals, and returning players to re-acclimate prior to the upcoming season.  It is a half a day session (8am-12pm) that comes with instruction from LTYA volunteers and LTHS players, motivational speaking from volunteers, LTHS coaches and LTHS players, and a t-shirt.  If your child will be participating in our Fall program, this will also give your child an opportunity to visit with his fall coach.  Please wear cleats, t-shirt, and athletic shorts to the clinic. We'll provide water and Gatorade. We strongly recommend attending this clinic.

 

****Important:  In the past we have charged a higher registration price and provided helmets & shoulder pads to players.  We are unable to effectively keep up with advances in equipment technology in a uniform and cost effective fashion.  Going forward, we will require parents to provide helmets & shoulder pads. 

 

*****Important:  Football games start the last weekend in August.  Practices begin the first week in August.  It is VERY IMPORTANT for each player to attend ALL practices.  This is a developmental league where we ease the tackle players into wearing equipment and experiencing contact.  Failure to attend practices in August puts each player behind his teammates in this regard.  Please keep this in mind when scheduling family vacations.

 

The regular season ends in late October.  Playoffs end in mid November.

 

 

Regular registration ended on May 31, 2012 and late registration runs through June 25th.  Players may register late, but each player registering after May 31, 2012 will be charged a $50 late fee, and placement on a team will be limited to availability.  Late team placement will occur on a first come first serve basis.

 

In an effort to ensure an even playing field, Mid-Tex strives to ensure complaince regarding ages, weight limits, and proof of age/residence.  In addition to standard waiver & parental behavior forms, each team will ask each player to provide a valid birth certificate, recent report card, utility bill, and physical.  The league will also weigh each player and certify their weight one time prior to first game.
