Fall Season
All tackle teams practice Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00pm-8:00pm.

Players are required to meet conditioning requirements (20hrs of fall practice) before they will be allowed to play any games/Jamboree. 

Location
Practices are located at our home fields at Oldsmar Sports Complex in Oldsmar.

GAMES
Fall games begin in August and take place on Saturdays.
Kickoff times vary by division. Historically, games progress from our youngest team through 13U; however, due to Hillsborough County policies 12U and 13U must be played earlier in the day.
We typically have 9-10 games. Roughly half of these games will be played at our home fields in Oldsmar. Away games are played at opponent fields in Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas or Manatee County.  There is a chance we may play one out-of-conference game.
The Fall game schedule will be released sometime in August.

EQUIPMENT
All necessary equipment (other than cleats and athletic supporter) are provided by the Panthers. Included in the cost of your registration is the use of certified NOCSAE football helmet, shoulder pads and game-day uniform(s). This equipment will be fitted and issued to your athlete at the beginning of the season during Equipment Distribution and must be returned after the last game at Equipment Return. 

IMPORTANT DATE!!  Saturday, TBD is Equipment Distribution.

Equipment Distribution is mandatory, so mark your calendars!
