10:00a.m. – 1:00p.m. (Lunch from 12:00-1:00)
This year everyone will be eating on Thanksgiving Thursday, AND the church has a potluck on Friday night. What better way to work off that extra food than to run around a bit on Saturday morning.Basic Information:
- This will be two-hand-touch or flag football. In other words, this is a no-contact, no tackling event. We do not want any injuries. So if you were afraid to play because you didn’t want to be tackled or injured, then this’ll make you feel better!
- Permission slips are required for ALL participants, including guests/visitors. No permission slip means no playing. **Click Here for Permission Slip [PDF]**
- Only students in grades 7th-12th are allowed to play; no college students or younger-age-siblings.
- We will have teams that will be fair for both genders, all ages, and all abilities. Everyone will get a chance to play!
- We will also have a game of Ultimate Frisbee going
The following questions might be ones that you have. Read through, and if you still have a question, then please e-mail Andy.
- I have no interest in football at all. Why should I still come? Because football is only part of what Turkey Bowl is about. More importantly, it’s a chance to have fun together as a youth group. Although we will be playing games & in teams, the purpose is not hard competition. It’s going to be fun, even a little silly! Actually, most of the youth group doesn’t really play football either, so it’ll be fun to watch everyone run around, making the same mistakes, and laughing about it together!
- Can I bring my friends? Yes you can! However, friends also need a permission slip to play.
- What if I’m no good at football? That’s ok! It’s all just for the fun of it. We also will have rules & such to make it fair and easy for everyone, not just for “athletic types”.
- I really don’t want to get hurt… is it safe? Yes it is safe! Last year we had NO injuries in Turkey Bowl. In other churches in the past, usually the worst injury might be a sprained ankle if you trip on something or accidentally land on your foot wrong. Since this is a sport, there is always the POSSIBILITY for injury (accidents can happen), but generally, we’ve rarely had sports-related injuries.
