Powder Puff Football Nov. 25th, 2019

In memory of  Tyler Cop, Nick Zuk and supporting BHB - Berlin Helping Berlin Objective: Berlin High School Powder Puff Football is a unique opportunity for female student-athletes to create teams to play flag football together while raising money for local foundations.  The goal is for the community to come together to remember loved ones and have fun participating in, coaching, cheerleading and spectating at the event. The event goal is to have a feel like a varsity football game while raising money for the community.   Format: *Each class (Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors) will have the opportunity to create 2 teams of 12 girls each + 1 or more Team Manager(s).  The team manager(s) can only be students. There will be a total of 8 teams. On the event night, all teams will play at least 2 games on divided fields set up on the football field at Sage Park.  The final 2 teams will play their game on the entire football field. There will be a Championship Quarter Final Round of 8 teams / 4 games, Championship Semifinal Round of 4 teams / 2 fields, Consolation Final of 4 teams / 2 fields and Final round of 2 teams on the entire field.  Each game will be 2 - 15 minute halfs with running time. You will play for 1 hour of playing time for the first 2 rounds and 2 - 20 minute halfs for the finals. In order to play, you must have a team manager who will organize a minimum of 5 practices with one mandatory practice meeting with Mr Arnold before game night.  
Specifics:
1.  Every team member must sign up and purchase their jersey online (link below).  The cost of the jersey is $30.00 which includes a $10.00 donation to charity.  

2.   Every team may have multiple coaches/managers who must also sign up and purchase a jersey.  The coach will not be allowed to play in the game.
