3/4th & 5th Grade Tackle Jamboree Aug 25th
9th Annual Youth Jamboree/Kickoff
WHEN & WHERE:
Saturday, August 25th
9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
West Jr. High School
RULES & TEAM STUFF!
- Scrimmages are held on half-fields.
- Each team will get 10 plays to score, not including PAT’s.
- Coaches allowed on the field for instructional purposes. No play clock.
- Points are not kept. Focus is on game-type situation practices
- Wear game jerseys.
- League rules generally apply. These are scrimmages so each team should use the time to practice their offensive/defensive schemes and try different lineups for each game.
- We encourage parents/friends to create a tunnel for players to run through and for teams to cheer on ALL teams – we’re all Sabers. This would be a great day for teams to hold a pre-season “get to know each other” party after the Jamboree!
- Teams are encouraged to practice common “Breakdown Sabers” together on the field following each scrimmage.
STUFF FOR SALE!!
- Merchandise sales including SYFA t-shirts, practice jerseys, and $1 mouth guards
- Concessions available: Food, Water, Soda, and Sport Drinks

As a researcher, I know the risks are real. But they may be overestimated by the public. And the game has important benefits.
