Attention 12U & 14U Full Contact Football Players
Kingdom Football Ministries (KFM) wants to make your child’s year of football special by extending his season and giving some awesome experiences he will always remember. Former players said they enjoyed the coaching staff, meeting new friends, learning new position techniques and skills, and wished the season lasted longer. Former parents added the coaching staff was fair and impartial, the experience helped their children to further build skills and techniques (i.e. blocking, reading a defense), and the Christian focus added a positive influence. KFM is the primary sponsor of the team. The Miami Valley Metro coaching philosophy includes character development, and every practice includes prayer and a brief Bible based motivational topic. The Miami Valley Metro is made up of 12U & 14U (may not turn 13 or 15 before August 1, 2008) football players who come from around the Miami Valley. To be eligible, players must have played full contact football the fall of 2007. About 24-30 area players are accepted based on first sign-up and most experienced position(s). Players qualify for preferred positions based on skill/physical play, attitude, effort and attendance. Players/Families must be committed to playing the ENTIRE post-season schedule without the conflict of other sports or personal activities (see “Exemption Note”). The Miami Valley Metro will accept up to 8-10 O & D lineman, 8-10 LB/DE/TE/RB positions and 8-10 QB/FL/DB players (12U - 125 lb. weight limit for skill/ball carriers). The team is designed for each player to play on at least one of four designated platoon units on either offense (Black and White) or defense (Miami and Valley) or go both ways. In most competitive conditions, the Metro offense and defense is called upon, these two squads feature the best eleven players on either side of the ball. In less competitive conditions, the All-City offense and defense is called upon, these two squads feature players who do play on the Metro teams. In some cases, players who do not exhibit a base level of skill/ability are assigned to play only on special teams until individual improvement is seen. Players should only sign up to play in the offensive and/or defensive position they played in the fall. Players must prepay a registration fee that covers game jersey, game socks, tournament entry fees and AAU membership. Players must provide white game pants and a seven-piece pants pad set. Player’s may use their own football program's equipment with written permission (a request form with liability waiver for the equipment is provided in the registration packet), otherwise players will be fitted with KFM equipment. Hotel costs are an additional cost. [In the event we do not have enough qualified players to field a competitive team, ALL monies will be reimbursed in full.] KFM does offer a fundraiser program to help with expenses. Boxes of assorted candy bars (52 or 40 count boxes) may be purchased and sold for a profit, raising about $20.00 per box. In order to participate, parents must prepay the registration fee and the cost of the number of boxes taken, then parents keep all of the money from the candy sold. You may make plans to begin the fundraising right now! All players must become a member of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). AAU is the insurance provider of the Miami Valley Metro football team. Players may not attend practice until their fall football season is officially over. Practice takes place from 6:15-8:30 PM on Monday through Thursday nights starting November 3. Exemption Note: If a player’s season is not over until after the first weekend of November, he may still join the team starting the second week of November. All practices take place on the softball field behind the Moraine Recreation Center (at the same location as Splash! Moraine).
