Program Philosophy The mission of all Wahoo Parks and Recreation youth sports programs is to promote a fun, yet challenging environment in which participants are introduced to and taught the basics of a given sport. The program is strictly recreational in nature and emphasizes equal opportunity for involvement and participation. Registration Period Registration has ended.

(Note: Saturday game times may coincide with Husker football.) All teams will play a round robin schedule and are guaranteed a minimum of six games. League play will begin in early September. The NEW 7-on-7 format for all leagues will allow for smaller team rosters and results in all players being eligible receivers....so everyone can receive more touches of the football! Grades 1st & 2nd: A coach or a designated adult is the quarterback. No game scores or league standings are kept. All children will have the opportunity to play all the positions on both offense and defense. Grades 3rd & 4th: No game scores or league standings are kept. All children will have the opportunity to play all positions on both offense and defense. Grades 5th & 6th: Game scores are kept but no league standings. Coaches will begin to develop players for specific positions while still giving them the opportunity to play all positions. Equipment Tennis shoes or football shoes with molded rubber cleats can be worn by the players. No metal or hard plastic cleats! Footballs, flag belts, and kicking tees will be provided. One mouth guard for each player will also be provided. Uniforms Youth who participate in Wahoo Parks and Recreation youth sports need to have two uniform t-shirts, one red and one blue. The playing schedule dictates which color shirt to wear for each game. These shirts are used for all youth sport programs and are available in a variety of youth and adult sizes and can be purchased at the Civic Center for $6 each. Rosters Team rosters are formed via random selection. Parents may request their son be placed on a team with one other child for legitimate carpooling purposes. Some car pooling requests may not occur. This information needs to be indicated on the registration form (no exceptions). Once teams are formed, coaches are responsible for contacting players on their rosters to set up practices and distribute information. Coaches Wahoo Parks and Recreation utilizes volunteer coaches for all youth sport programs. All head coaches are required to attend the coaches meeting or meet with the league director. Instruction on general coaching philosophy and principles as well as sport-specific information will be discussed. Schedules Playing schedules will be available after August 25th on this web page. Miscellaneous Participants and their parents/guardians should be aware that there is a risk of injury during participation in Wahoo Parks and Recreation youth sports due to the inherent nature of the activities. Individuals participate in Parks and Recreation youth sports programs at their own risk . Questions Contact Bob Schmidt at the Civic Center at 443-4174 during normal business hours.
