Helmet Recertification & Repaint: |
For the 2008 season we will require all helmets be NOCSAE certified, we
have partnered with Riddell Corporation to provide this service for Mill
Creek. All helmets will be checked prior to evaluations for a 2008
NOCSAE stamp. The decision was made to require NOCSAE
certification because of the escalating number of concussions in
football and the need to assure that our players are playing with helmet
gear that is working properly.
During this process we have worked out an arrangement to change our
helmet color from Navy to Las Vegas Sting Gold (the Mill Creek Varsity
Color).
On March 29th, during the walk-up registration, Riddell Corporation will
be onsite collecting helmets! Please follow this process:
1) Please register online or at Mill Creek High School, please make sure
to print your registration certificate and bring it with you.
2) Please remove your face mask, leave all other equipment inside the
helmet.
3) Please bring your helmet & registration certificate to the Riddell
center at Mill Creek High School, it will be located at the main
entrance of Mill Creek High School.
4) They will collect your helmet and label it with your registration
certificate number, please bring it with you.
5) Your helmet will be delivered to Riddell corporation and it will be
NOCSAE certified and repainted, they will be returned in June.

** What if I want a new Las Vegas Sting Gold Helmet **
Riddell Corporation and Elite Sports will be onsite during the March
29th registration, both vendors will be selling helmets! If you
purchase a helmet prior to March 29th please bring it to the Riddell
area follow the process for old helmets and your new helmet will be
painted properly. |

Fundraisers: |
|
Every
year we must raise additional funds to support our program and the cost
associated with an operation as large as Mill Creek. We will
evaluate the use of a fundraiser to help with items such as new game
pants, new practice gear, facility upgrades, and items for Duncan Creek
Park.
We have teamed up with the Varsity Hawks once again to
offer the Hawk Card Fundraiser, you can either sell 5 $10.00 cards or
pay $35.00 to opt-out of the fundraiser. |
|
|
|
Spirit Fees: |
|
Each
team will be responsible for raising funds to support the team
through-out the year. The football board will work with the coaches in
an attempt to create guidelines for an acceptable fee, we will ask that
each team set a spirit fee that will be agreed upon by the football
board, the 2008 Spirit Fee will be $100.00 / player. |
