IMPORTANT: Change to Game Schedule: First Game Sunday Sept. 6

Due to delays with getting team uniforms, the Flag Football League has announced that this Sunday's games will be rescheduled to Sunday, October 4. There will be no game this Sunday. We may try to do a scrimmage during the regularly scheduled game time, stay tuned for more information. We'll talk about it at Thursday's practice.

Practice this week: Monday Aug. 17 and Thursday Aug. 20

Panther practices this week will be Monday Aug. 17 and Thursday Aug. 20. We've adjusted the schedule to try to accommodate as many schedules as possible. It's difficult to make a schedule that allows everyone to attend every practice, but we'll try to make the most of the practices we have, and the kids are catching on quickly!

Before Thursday's practice, everyone will need:

Shorts: Solid black shorts, no stripes or pinstripes.

Cleats: Any non-metal, rubber or plastic molded, soccer or baseball cleat will do; no screw-in cleats and no metal spikes.

If you can't get these before Thursday, please at least make sure the players show up in shorts rather than jeans, and with appropriate shoes.

We should have our jerseys sometime in the week of Aug. 24. The first game is Aug. 30.

As always, check with Bryan if you have any questions!

Practices this week: Tuesday Aug. 11 and Thursday Aug. 13

Panthers practice will continue this week, Tuesday (Aug. 11) at 5:00 and Thursday (Aug. 13) at 5:00.

Next week we will move Tuesday's practice to 3:00, to coordinate with the early dismissal from Aptos Junior High. Thursday practices will continue to be at 5:00.

All practices will be at Rio Del Mar, on the lower field.

Please let Coach Bryan know if you can't make it to practice. Thanks!

2nd Practice Thursday August 6, 5pm, Rio Del Mar

Great first practice, everyone!

See you on Thursday, 5pm, again at Rio Del Mar on the lower field!

First Practice Tuesday Aug. 4, 5pm, RDM Lower Field

Welcome to Aptos Panthers Flag Football!

This Blog will be updated frequently with team information, practice times and locations, game information, etc. Please check in often!

Our first practice will be Tuesday, August 4 at 5pm at the lower field at Rio Del Mar Elementary. Practice will run until 6:30.

Players don't need to bring anything to practice; we have footballs and flags.

Parents who have not submitted a copy of their child's birth certificate should bring a copy to this first practice. We'll also need you to sign a copy of the League and NFL waivers; please find Julie so we can get your signatures (we have the forms).

Practices will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays at Rio. Once school has started we may hold Tuesday practices at 2:30 pm, because of early dismissal.

Please let us know if you have any comments or questions.
