Anadarko Little League Football

2007

  Last year was a smashing success. Anadarko won three SUPERBOWLS out of the four divisions we play in. Pee- Wee, 1st Division and 2nd Division. 1st and 2nd went undefeated, JOB well done kids and coaches.

  With success, there's always room for improvements. Last year we had a few minor issues that we would like to address for the up coming season. (1) There will be NO parents on the sidelines during home games. Coaches have been instructed to help with their parents. Ref will throw a flag for unsportmanlikeship and second warning will result 15 yard plenty. Third warning in a game will result in a suspension of coach for the next game. (2) The refereeing crew wasn't up to standards. Both the home teams and visiting team were complaining about the calls, so to solve that problem we've hired a certified crew. (3) Jerseys were also a problem, parents wanted to keep jerseys and that was defeated a plan that we were trying to implement. This year parents can keep the jerseys and do as they please.

  Traditional we've had the lowest price amongst the teams in the four towns. In 2006 we spent over $4000 in jerseys, $600 for P.T. refs, and $1500 for administration stuff. Another $800 on individual team banquets and $800 for trophies. We typically average around 120 kids and if you divide that with the total expense, you see that each child was suppose to pay $65. But we only charged $40 and hoped that the concession stand and sponsorship would help offset the remaining cost. This has been working great, but lately we've had a decline in sponsorship and help running the concession stand.

  Now here's the 2007 predicated total breakdown going off of previous years totals.

3 certified refs at $30 a game and we avg.

4 games a weekend.

And we have 8 home games    $2800

Jerseys                     $4000                                        

Admin                       $1000

Banquets                     $800

Trophies                    $800                           

                                                                                                                                          Totaling $9400

With us averaging around 120 kids, divide that and you'll see that each kid cost on an average of $80. We're not going to charge that much. We will charge $65.00 for each child and hope that the sponsorship and donations will have offset the remaining cost.
