I recognize that the above-mentioned articles of football equipment have been issued to me for the 2007 Plainsmen
Football season. I fully understand that I will be held responsible for the replacement costs of any unreturned,
damaged (not caused by regular football wear and tear) or stolen equipment. I fully understand that the equipment
must be returned clean directly after the 2005 football season before I will receive my transcript at the end of the
semester.

Dear Parent/ Guardian:
Welcome to the 2007 Plainsmen football season. As a coaching staff, we are here to help your child
develop a strong knowledge of various important life skills, teach your child about the game of football
and have fun doing it. We want to develop good citizens first and if we can develop good football players
along the way we consider that to be a great bonus.
The Plainsmen Football Program demands a lot of time from our student athletes and we do not tolerate
absences or lateness for our practices, games or other scheduled events. There is a lot to learn in a
relatively short amount of time so good attendance helps both the participant and the team. We need
you to support us in this effort and make sure that your child is available for the scheduled practices,
games and other events such as fundraising.
We have a very successful program that lost out in the Championship game by eight points last season
and won the Championships the previous year. Our success over the years has allowed for us to gain
some interest from various universities and other high-level programs throughout Canada and the USA.
Over the years we have had a number of our student athletes gain valuable scholarships towards their
university education, while being able to continue playing the sport that they love.
Thank you for allowing your child to be a part of our program. Together we will have a lot of fun while
working hard towards our goals.
The 2007 Plainsmen Football Coaching Staff – please feel free to contact us with any questions or
concerns.
Varsity
The varsity squad is the most competitive team and is comprised mostly of kids from grades 11 and 12. J unior Varsity Game Schedule
As you will see in our team rules, we have strict attendance policies, which have an effect on whether or
not your child starts or plays. We have open competitions for every position and basically the player who
is always at practice and plays the best at that position is the starter. We evaluate the players weekly
and it is not uncommon to have players change positions throughout the season. Date Time Home Team Away Team Location

We are initiating a mentor program with the football team this season. Basically we are going to “buddy- Neepawa
up” an incoming 9th grade player with player from the 12th grade (possibly 11th depending on numbers)
to help the new player get a better understanding of the team and the school. Areas of concentration
will include, but are mot limited to:
• Day-to-day chat, encouragement
• Help with equipment
• Tour the school and help player find classes (it’s a big school)
• Team up for Varsity Gold blitz and other fundraising events
• Be available for advice
Fundraising
With the cost of outfitting a player in very good football equipment being around $500, it is essential
that we perform various fundraisers to supplement the fee that is charged for your child to play football.
Other major expenses come in the form of field equipment (our five-man sled alone is worth around
$6,000) and travel. We are also currently trying to save/raise funds to develop a clubhouse for the
program and upgrade our field so we can play our home games at the school. Our major fundraisers are
explained below:
We have been using the Gold Card from Varsity Gold, as a major fundraiser for a few years now and it is
by far the easiest fundraiser, allowing for a good profit for very little work and no expense. The student Dauphin
athlete is asked to pre-sell 20 tickets for a week before a one-night selling blitz. The card offers
discounts at various businesses and sells for a price of $15. Varsity Gold arranges the various discounts
with local businesses and produces the cards and the players sell the cards door-to-door for one night.
We receive $7.50 for every card sold and assume none of the cost of producing the cards nor do we
have to spend any time arranging the deals on the cards. We offer various incentives including cash, free
cards and mini helmets to players who sell a pre-determined number of cards.
This is a new fundraiser this year and has been a successful fundraiser for The Westman Youth Football
Association, as well as numerous football teams in Winnipeg. Each player is required to sell one book of
tickets for $20, as they are charged for one book in their fees. When they sell the tickets they keep the
money. The prizes are for various amounts of grocery money at Sobey’s and are quite popular.
If you have any other ideas for fundraising or would like to serve on a fundraising committee, please let
us know. We are always interested in hearing different ideas for how we can keep the fees low for our
players.
