This fall brings an exciting change to the sports program at St. John of the   Cross. Jr. Varsity and Varsity football have been added as new sports for boys   in the 5^th through 8^th grades! All boys in these   grades are welcome. There will be no tryouts—all boys who participate in the   practices will make the team and get playing time. Above all else, this will   be a safety first program. The boys will have the highest quality equipment,   e.g., state of the art helmets, and will participate in the Suburban Parochial   Football League, which has an excellent reputation and framework for assuring   the safety of all players. The core principles of the program will be teamwork   and fundamentals with a foundation based on safety, sportsmanship, and   discipline. For background on development of the program see the following   link (http://0.stjohnofthecross.org/school/files/2012/04/project-plan-proposal.doc)   and for governance please see the football handbook (http://3.stjohnofthecross.org/school/files/2012/04/football-handbook.doc).   Registration for the fall 2012 season will be Monday, May 14 from 3:30 to 8:00   PM in the Main Gym The fee is $250 per player with a $250 deposit. Please   fill out the forms below and bring them along with payment to the registration.   If you have any questions please feel free to contact Football coordinator Jim   Tarpy     jim.tarpey@pandarg.com   or Athletic Director Carl Rhineberger   crhineberger@aol.com     .
