 Sandlot Football- New and Improved

We have reformatted Sandlot Football to include more fun and more game play! This instructional program is open to all youth in K-2 grade.  Coaches will work with players the first two weeks to introduce the sport of football using basic skill techniques and formations.  The last four weeks there will be 20 minute practices and a formal 40 minute game each day. Fundamentals and simple game strategy will be taught throughout the entire program.  Show up the first day and be ready to play! You will not be contacted by a coach for this program. DeGarmo Park.  Jersey is optional.

Sports League Registration and Roster Information

League Information, registration dates and rule packets: All league information will be posted on our website and at the CARD Office a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the registration deadline. CARD will do everything possible to keep dates similar from year to year. However, minor changes are possible.

Each league has a set number of spaces available for teams. Those numbers are determined by field or facility availability, night of play and level of ability.

All nights and locations listed are subject to change at the discretion of the sports department.

Roster Requirements: All players must sign a CARD Roster or Add/Drop form. Any team caught with player(s) that have not officially signed a CARD Roster or Add/Drop form will be fined $50, and the manager will be suspended for 1 game.  The fee must be paid before the next game or the entire team cannot participate.
