Practices & Evaluations

Practice is held at Green Hill Church, 13251 Lebanon Rd, Mt. Juliet, TN 37122.

*During the first week, July 14th, 15th, 17th and 18th,  football practice will be held from 6:30pm to 8:00pm.  The following week practice will be on the 21st, 22nd,  and 24th. The first two weeks are used as an evaluation period to place participants on the same level teams.

*Beginning July 28th, football practice will be held every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30pm to 8:00pm throughout the entire season unless your coach tells you otherwise.

*The first day of practice (Monday, July 14th) will be t-shirt & shorts only.  No other equipment is needed. 

 *On the second day of practice (Tues,. July 15th) the helmet will be added.  

*The following week ( July 21st, 22nd and 24th) all football players will go into full pads so bring all your equipment to practice.

We spend this time observing and evaluating the basic skills of each player.  Several coaches will be observing the players during this time.  Decisions as to what team your child will be assigned to in his or her age group is based on athletic ability, size, experience, and desire to play.  This process allows for children to play against other children with their same ability, size, and experience level.  By the end of the two weeks, your child will be assigned to a permanent team.

With this procedure we cannot guarantee that your child will be playing on a team with his friends & family or his favorite coaches.  Please be patient as the evaluation process takes place and if you have any questions or concerns, we ask that you talk with the head coach working with your child.

During the first 2 weeks of practice, any practices cancelled due to weather will be posted on social media (facebook- Green Hill Sports Association) and sent via e-mail. After teams have been selected, all communication concerning practices will come directly from your coaching staffs.

In general, we do not cancel practices due to light rain. If it is pouring or if lightning is in the area, we will not practice. Your coach will have the final say of your practice schedule.

Game Schedule

The regular season game schedule will be provided as soon as it is available to us from TNYFL. This is normally after the Jamboree game which is held mid-August.  It could be as late as the end of August before the full schedule is issued. Please be patient, this allows time for all communities in the program to place their teams.
