About Us

Typically the official season starts the last week in July and ends the first week in November each year.  We will have some camps and workouts that are optional however in the spring and mid summer.

Practices are held behind Eppler Jr. High School in Utica.  The Rebels are in the works to create their very own practice field!

The first four weeks of the season we practice 5 days a week Monday thru Friday. Once the first game starts, we drop down to 3-4 practices depending on weather and field availability.  We also have film review for the football players as scheduled by the football coach.  All practices are 6-8pm generally.  There are no weekend practices.

Each coach may have some specific team rules for attendance but our club mandates you give notice to your coach.  No call No shows may result in missed playing time.  We suggest planning your vacations prior to the end of July but always keep your Head Coach advised along the way.

Our home field is at Swinehart Stadium which directly across the street from Utica High School.  Our away games are in Oxford, Lake Orion, Lapper, Davison, Stoney Creek and Clarkston.

The games are held on the weekends.  Most games are on Saturday but due to field availability sometimes we have to play on Sunday.  Usually the games start as early as 9am and late as 5pm.

Our cheerleaders compete in two major events during the season called Mini Cheer and Mega Cheer.  They also are the loudest on the field at each game.

Our registration cost for 2024 is...

Football $350

Cheerleading $300

We do have payment options available when you register.

You can elect to partake in the fundraising buyout but if not, all families must help in our fundraising efforts.  This keeps our registrations costs down as low as we can.

YES!!! This is a 100% volunteer organization.  Each year we have a few spots of volunteer work to be done at each game.  We schedule it so you can still see your child compete.

You will be responsible for your athletes footwear and cup (athletic supporter).  All other mandatory equipment is handed out for use during the season.  The game jersey is yours to keep!  

You will be responsible for your athletes game footwear and competition footwear, bodysuit, spanks, socks (no show white).  Stay tuned for specifics before you purchase as they are some particulars that apply and will be addressed by the Cheer GM.

We are always looking for good people to help mentor our youth.  Head Coaches are selected by the Football and Cheer GM and approved by the board.  Each Head Coach can pick his own coaching staff to assist them.  If you are interested in coaching email our Football or Cheer GM's.

All new players will be placed on a team if room exists.  There are no tryouts.  You can request to be on a particular team which will be reviewed by the board.  Most of the time this is to assist in a child getting to practice with a friend who may play, or he or she may be related to a particular coach.  Requests will be honored if it meets club needs, players with brothers or sisters who have been placed on a team will be given priority.

Head coaches are responsible for placing the athletes in positions they can...

1. Succeed in.  2. Grow and Develop in.  3. Help their team accomplish goals.  

This is a competitive league where we push kids to reach their potential and develop a love for their sport.  We balance each athlete's growth and success and effort in a team atmosphere.  We remind them each day that every position is open every day and to go out each day giving their best.  Some kids take time to gain confidence and skill.  Some it seems to come naturally.  Kids grow a lot in their abilities over their lifetime in these sports.

Once you pay for registration there are really no other costs besides fundraising and any equipment addressed above.

However, we do require a check which is held in escrow until equipment is returned and volunteer commitments are met.  As long as you turn in equipment and volunteer for your share of spots to be filled, we will not cash that check.

If you get placed on a waitlist a few things can happen.  If we get enough for a second or third team in that age bracket, then we simply make a new team. Again, keeping roster sizes for football lower is a good thing for playing time.  If for some reason we cannot create the additional team you may be granted a place if any drops occur.  In the end if you are not placed on a team then you will receive a full refund.  This usually occurs around June of each year.
