Coach W --

Can full-sized kids play, too, or only just little people?

This is an excellent idea. I hope it is still going on when my son becomes old enough to play!!!!

[RioProf]

If all goes well I believe this will be here for a long time.

Dan - Please spread the word down your way. Thanks

What effects will this have on the current MFL in town?

[RioProf]

It shouldn't have much effect. We have to keep the numbers somewhat low because of funding and the fact that we do not want to take anything away from the existing league. We know there are boys who couldn't afford it or do not want to travel or who won't have the parental support it takes. So hopefully not much.

where you traveling to

[RioProf]

Jackson, Vinton County, Chillicothe, Adena, Southeastern and Circleville. It is nice little league that offers some very good competition.

is this for boys in the gallia county school district or is it for anyone living in gallia county?

county needs to start their own midget fb program and i dont mean rv and sg combined either.

The county has had one since the mid 70"s

[theassassin]

maybe i should have said the county school system need to start there own program

assassin --

I love that avatar, but why would you say the county school system needs to start its own program?

I know a lot of people in Gallia County dislike the Gallipolis MFL because they maintain that it is used to recruit county kids to come into Gallipolis and play.

[RioProf]

This is for ALL boys in Gallia County. It doesn't matter which school you go to. This is in no way a recruiting tool for GAHS or any school in this county. We are trying to design the uniforms with all the schools in mind so the boys will have some sense of pride for their high school they will be attending. My goal is to make every boy that makes this team a better football player as well as a person. This team will be run very professionally, they will get very good instruction and get to experience things they may never get to even in high school. Even though it will be hard work, very competitive and a lot of learning - it will be FUN.

Once again this is not to take away from the MFL in Gallipolis. The MFL has its need and does a good job. This just gives the boys another option instead of going to Meigs, Point or Oak Hill. I have heard the need very loud the last few years and now we hope to fulfill the need and give the boys an awesome experience.

RV already has a midget league program for grades 3-6.

[theassassin]

i didn know that rat... that is good. will teach the kids they are raiders.... not pirates, tigers, bobcats or highlanders or whatnot.

[91blue14]
