TriCity Chargers Team Mom Information 2019
Homecoming - Each team chooses their own Homecoming date. The date must fall on a home game between 9/14-10/19. If a team would like the Cheerleaders to perform during their Homecoming game, they will need to email Stephanie Ramey. Love2CoachCheer@hotmail.com
Homecoming Parties - Generally, teams have parties following their homecoming games. How you want to plan that is completely up to you! In our experience, parties have worked well in the past have all been where there is a little something for the boys to do...parties in someone’s home, Old Town Pub in Wasco, Riverside Pizza, the bowling alley! It’s just a fun way to celebrate our players and socialize with the parents! Please keep in mind Riverside Pizza and Old Town Pub are sponsors of TriCities - so use them if possible!
Homecoming Shirts: We used Maureen McGushin (Celtic Custom, 40W222 LaFox Rd. in Wasco 630-377-9031) for the Homecoming Shirts. She will provide an order form with all instructions. Plan ahead for these she needs about a 2-3 week turnaround.
Homecoming Signs: We used https://www.spiritline.com/helmet-photo-personalized-yard-sign/p/YDSPHE. You can order these with or without pictures. We have found it easiest to take a snapshot of the boys in their uniforms on picture day while they are lined up for the photographer. That way you don’t have to expect them to be cleaned up and in uniform twice! ;)
Game Socks - Some teams like to have matching socks for their games. I have ordered from moxysocks.com in the past and have been happy.
October Pink Socks - Many teams wear Pink Game Socks during the month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness. I have gone through Maureen at Celtic Custom or you can order elsewhere online or go to Dick's too.
Discount Cards - see below for this season's procedure.
Concessions- This year we have a new system for concession coverage. Each team will be responsible for covering the game BEFORE your own for all HOME games only. So if you play at 1, your team will need volunteers for the 11:30 game (the idea is your families are at the fields anyway since the boys have to warm up - so people should be available to help!). The board is looking for 3 people to work the concessions. It will be the team mom’s responsibility to make sure it’s covered for your team’s time slot. Once we have the schedule, we will make a sign-up genius and send to you all, so you can refer parents there to sign up for what works best for them.
Spirit Wear- Squad Locker- https://teamlocker.squadlocker.com/#/lockers/2018-tri-city-chargers-youth-football-and-cheer
Sparkle N Bling - Rose with Sparkle N Bling has really cute spirit wear available. She has our logo and will put it on most anything you’re looking for - t-shirt, sweatshirt, girls shirts. She will be out at the Pigskin Classic but if you miss her there, you can reach out via her Facebook page Sparkle N Bling or text her at 630-768-1623. She is great to work with!
Picture Day- August 24th (coach will reach out with times)
Comedy Night- We have traditionally had a fundraising night at Zanie’s in St Charles. It’s always been a fun time! The planning is still in the works for this year and we will be in touch with a date and details as soon as we have them!
2019 Tri-City Charger Discount Card Program
The Basics:
· Most players received 6 Discount Cards at the equipment handout. These are to be sold at a price of $20 each with the player keeping this money.
· Some players did not receive any cards as their parents chose to pay a $100 “buy out” option during registration instead.
· If a player says they should have received cards, but didn’t, contact Tim Fabian at 331-276-1970.
Discount Card Sales Incentive:
· We have an incentive program in place for players and teams to sell additional discount cards in an effort to raise funds for new helmets and other safety equipment.
· An anonymous donor has donated the following prizes that will be awarded to the players that sell the most additional cards:
1st Place - $300 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place - $150 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place - $100 Amazon Gift Card
· The team that sells the most discount cards will win a free team party (up to $500)
· Please note that in order to receive the prizes above, the money raised from the discount card sales must surpass the value of the prize awarded.
· Each coach will each receive 50 additional cards that can be distributed at the request of the players. Contact Tim Fabian at 331-276-1970 to obtain additional cards as needed.
· All sales will end on Sunday, October 6th and coaches must collect all cash. This cash and the remaining discount cards will be collected by Tim Fabian or other TCC board members. It is up to the coach keep track of how many cards are given to each player and that this corresponds with the cash and cards the player returns to the coach. Please keep each player’s returned cash and cards in separate envelopes with their name so we can identify individual winners (do not combine together with your entire team). Winners will be announced on October 12th.
