Welcome back to another exciting season of Webster Junior Warrior-Junior Titan Football and Cheerleading! After all, Webster Football and Cheer Start Here! With the cold temperatures outside, I know that it may seem like a long way out until the end of the school year and the beginning of the football and cheer season, but it will be here before we know it. Planning and preparation for the 2013 season literally began the week after the 2012 Banquet…another outstanding success attended by over 800 people. We have completed our Returning Family Registration process and are currently in the midst of New Family Registration. Our rosters are filling up quickly…a true testament to the hard work and determination of everyone involved, and to the quality of the program that we offer to the community.
Practice for A,B,C Begins: August 5th
Practice for Flag Begins: August 13th
We have begun the coaching selection process and have most positions filled on the Football side, with Cheer currently underway. We are fortunate to be blessed with some incredible head and assistant coaches, which provide your children with an educational, impactful, and rewarding experience. I can’t say enough how thankful we are for all of those individuals that put in countless hours to ensure that this program continues upon the legacy that has been built for years to come. With that said, we are always looking for additional volunteers to fill in much needed roles as Directors and Coordinators. Please see the website for a listing of open positions and submit an application if you have the time and desire to help. This season, our focus will continue to be on teaching fundamentals, ensuring the safety of every participant, and, most importantly, having FUN! We believe that participation in youth sports should be fun, but should also help to build a foundation for life. This includes the key attributes of sportsmanship, teamwork, and respect. Everyone involved in WJW-WJT holds these standards at the forefront of everything that we do, and we strive to always lead by example. I look forward to working with each of you and watching your children thrive this season. Again, I urge you to consider helping out in any way possible and appreciate your continued participation in the WJW-WJT program. Go Webster! Tom Widell, President Webster Jr. Warriors/Jr. Titans
