Dear Potential Football Participants:
Anyone Interested in Playing 7th/8th Grade Football MUST Sign up by Monday, August 23rd!
We are currently short at least 10 players of being able to offer a 7th/8th grade League through the Rec. We will offer a “LAST CHANCE” Registration now through Monday at 5 PM.
Please come by (with your fees of $60 in-city/$80 out-city) and register your child at the Larry Bagwell Gymnasium. We will accept cash, check, or credit card. We offer financial aid to those who qualify. (To qualify you must present an EBT or a Medicaid card.)
For those already registered we will send out an e-mail blast as soon as we have the numbers necessary to move forward with the league. Tentatively we are planning on drafts taking place within a week or so. I apologize for the drawn out process, however I assure you all that we are doing all that we can to get your children on the football field this fall.
Kenny Younce
Athletic Director
Easley Recreation Athletics wishes the best of luck to the Green Wave Football Coaches and Players on their upcoming season!
The Coaches will meet and select the players this evening based on their combined knowledge of these players through their previous seasons both in Fall Ball and Little League. Our coaching staffs are very knowledgeable of the majority of the players that are signed up, so we are optimistic that the teams will be fairly even.
I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer as we all prepare for another fall baseball season and new school year! As the Athletic Director of the ERD I look forward to overseeing my first baseball season since arriving here in the summer of 2000. ERD has offered a Fall season the past few years and our Director has taken the responsibilities of running that league as he has an extensive baseball background and has done a fabulous job with the league up to this point.
I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer and you all are ready to get back to school and on the gridiron. We are looking forward to another GREAT football season at ERD. Our numbers held strong again this year and we really feel good about our new divisional breakdowns. We feel that the competition should be GREAT and our newly formed “Instructional League” should start to build a strong base for our programs’ future!
Due to us registering by school and appointing players to their teams via that system, we often do not have to evaluate players. The purpose of evaluations and drafts is to see the players and to have coaches select them. If they are pre-assigned then that is unnecessary. The exceptions are for schools that have enough players to split into 2 teams or to evaluate unassigned players (homeschoolers or players from schools outside of Easley) also known as “free agents”.
The ONLY group that will need to attend an evaluation this year will be the rising 2nd Graders that want to try out to be moved up to the Silver 3rd / 4th Division.
Anyone who is interested in being a 2010 ERD Football Coach, please note that there will be an initial meeting Thursday, July 29th, at the Larry Bagwell Gymnasium at 6pm sharp! We will cover a lot of information on this night and your attendance is crucial! Coaches please bring a notebook and pen to the meeting!
