Access to the Trusted Coaches web site will be provided by the CDAA football directors once the applicant is approved.

The Kindergarten players have a great time with the older players learning some very fundamental aspects of football and participating in football related activities. Each Kindergarten participant will receive a tee-shirt.
Tackle Football Evaluations (CPHS Field House):
Evaluations will be held Sunday, July 14th for all tackle football grades. A makeup session will be held on Monday, July 15th for all grades.

5th & 6th Grades: 6:45 PM to 8:00 PM

Tackle Football Mandatory Parent Meeting / Draft (CPHS):
At CPHS Auditorium
Wednesday, July 31th 2019
6:15pm - 7:15pm - Mandatory parents meeting - Q&A
7:15pm - 7:45pm - 3rd grade open to public draft
7:45pm - 8:30pm - 4th grade open to public draft
8:45pm - 10:00pm - 5th, 6th, & 7th grade closed to public (Coaches only, offsite location TBD)
This year we will hold a 1 hour MANDATORY open question and answer session for all parents prior to the draft. We encourage all parents to come watch the draft for the "open to public" drafts. The reason we are calling this mandatory is because it will be the best opportunity for parents to receive clarification on the program and present questions or suggestions that they have.
At the draft, each coach will have the opportunity to protect a set # of players at the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade levels. The number of protected players at the 7th and 8th grade levels will be determined by the number of teams at each division. Protected players must be submitted by July 26th.
NOTE: 3rd – 6th graders will play in separate leagues by grade level within the Twin Cities Youth Football League.
Equipment Issue by Team (JRAC):
Similar to last year tackle football players will be issued their equipment by team in sessions scheduled in early August. Participants will need a $150 deposit check for equipment. When the equipment is returned in good shape, the deposit check will be returned or shredded.
At equipment issue for tackle football, you will receive a helmet, practice pants, game pants, pads for pants, practice jerseys, and game jerseys. Our teams are outfitted with arguably the best equipment in the greater metro area with top notch uniforms and protective gear. Most organizations make your provide your own helmets and pants. This is not the case in our program. Every year we add little upgrades to our uniforms to set us apart and provide the best equipment for our kids.
ONCE AGAIN THIS YEAR FOR 7TH AND 8TH GRADERS: Girdles will not be issued. Almost all JR High/Middle School programs in the state have transitioned girdles and applicable pads to personal items provided by the athlete. This is consistent for sanitary practices with under garments. We will follow suit this year.

Jamboree (CPHS):
The CDAA Football Jamboree is set for Saturday, August 24th.
Flag Football Super Saturday (CPHS):
The CDAA Flag Football Super Saturday will be Saturday, October 12th. This will be our Flag Football Program Championship Tournament Day. Times and locations will be posted.
PRACTICES / GAMES (VARIOUS):
This year we will be running an agility/skill development workshop along with our HEADS UP program during the first two weeks of organized practice. All teams will practice together and coaches will receive training during these initial two weeks.
Similar to last year Tackle football registration will be online this year. Equipment will be handled out by team. We will only have 1 walk-up registration session this year just prior to evaluations.
Practices will start the week of August 12th, and games are likely to start during the week of September 3rd. The first two weeks of practices will be run at the high school. We will combine groups by grade during these two weeks. Practice schedules and locations are determined by head coaches and will vary by team.
Playing outside Your Age/Weight Group:
While we STRONGLY advise all participants to play at their grade level, we do on occasion allow a player to play up an age group. In 2019, only players that assess in the top 5% of the age group they desire to play in for height or weight and speed will be allowed to play up. We will strongly encourage and in some cases mandate that players play in their appropriate weight division.
Parents/guardians must request an exception before sign-ups begin. A coach will also be contacted for input if possible. The final decision will be made by the CDAA Football Directors. All CDAA Football Director decisions are final.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION:
Your $150 deposit check will be held until the end of the season. You will receive your check back when you have returned ALL your equipment in good condition and CLEAN. If equipment is turned in dirty, a $25 cleaning fee will be assessed.
You must turn in an evaluation form to receive your deposit check back. Coaches will hand out evaluation forms during the playoffs or just prior to the end of the season. It is very important that we know how the program is doing in the eyes of the parents and participants so we can improve. These forms will be read only by the football directors and possibly the HS staff. You may remain anonymous if you wish; however, signature of names is encouraged.
Changes and additional information will be added to the website on a regular basis. Ensure to check for updates closer to the season.
