Frequently Asked Questions
1.) Do I need to buy my own helmet and shoulder pads?
NO, we provide the helmets and shoulder pads for all participants that have been
reconditioned to meet all safety requirements.
2.) Is there anything else I need to purchase?
Tackle football players will need to purchase practice pants, practice jerseys and cleats. They can be any colors you choose.
You can find these items in any sporting goods stores or online at epicsports.com.
Flag football players will need cleats as well.
3.) Mouthpieces?
We will provide a mouthpiece to every football player at the start of the season. You are welcome to buy your own.
4.) My player forgot/lost his/her mouthpiece, how can I get another?
We have additional mouthpieces available at our concession stand for $1.
5.) It's raining, will there still be practice?
YES! We monitor the weather and field conditions everyday to make sure it is safe to have practice. We will continue to practice in the rain as long as there is no lightning. If we begin practice and lightning strikes, we will go on a delay for 30 minutes. If we have to cancel practice for any reason a decision will be made and sent out to all parents by 5 pm.
6.) What's the rules for practice when the heat index is high?
We monitor the heat index using the OSHA app and by using a heat index thermometer that reads the heat index at our field. If the heat index is 101 or lower we WILL continue to have practice reduced equipment and extra water breaks and possible delays. If the heat index reaches 102 or higher all outdoor practices will be cancelled. If we have to cancel practice for any reason a decision will be made and sent out to all parents by 5 pm.
