Do you agree to let the coaches coach and only to encourage and cheer from the sidelines (and help the coach if needed and you are able)?

Do you consent to volunteering if need be and you are available?
******************************NOTE**********************************************
There are many opportunities to volunteer. Chain gang, fund raisers, helping out within the organization, and various other examples are what to expect as possible items to be asked to do.

Do you agree to abide by all rules, regulations, and by-laws set forth by the Granite City Braves, the Tri-County Youth Football Organization, Granite City Community Unit School District 9, and IHSA?

Do you understand that the consequences of violation of any of the above agreed to may result in termination of your and/or your child's attendance at all Granite City Braves Football and Cheerleading Club events (athletic and non-athletic)?

Do you agree to return any issued items that you are required to at the time indicated by Braves board member or Braves coach?

Do understand how to communicate using the various features of Team App? (If No, please find a coach or a board member and we will be happy to help you)

If you are having financial challenges, do not let that prevent your child from playing football. We understand our town, we love this town, and we will find a way if a child truly wants to play and there is a legitimate financial need.

Do you consent to your child being photographed and videoed at Braves functions, and media recorded shared on social media?

We are proud and excited to have you as part of the Braves Tribe! Every member of our organization loves our town and wants to make this great for our players and families.

We believe that football is a unique place to bring many different families together in friendship and fun, and that is our goal here.

Remember, never hesitate to ask questions (for example, if you have chain gang on a Sunday, dont be afraid to ask someone (coach, referee, board member) and we will help you or get you help.

Do not let "never doing something" limit you from being involved if you want to.

Many Braves members are doing many things for the first time, we are happy to have your help.

It is IMPORTANT that you have your team app properly set up (linked to the right team, all of your notifications set up) because this is the only place we will communicate football details (schedule, coach communications, board communications).

There are MANY things we can do in TeamApp (share photos, have team chats, create player profiles, etc) that football life easier on everyone's busy schedules.

Thank you very much and we look forward to having you as a member of our Granite City Braves Tribe!
