— from Kim Ihlenfeldt —
Starting this week, we are pleased to announce the return of Kings Football. This year’s team will be playing in the NCYFL Midget category with games in Friday Harbor and on the mainland. League play will be for ages 9 and 10; both boys and girls are welcome to participate.
This year’s team will be coached by Denny Rancourt, who is bringing his many years of coaching experience. Denny has coached teams from college level down through his many years with the Orcas Kings.
The Kings are an important feeder program to the Orcas High School Football team and we are excited to bring back this beginning-level football experience, which teaches not only the rules of the game, but introduces the players to sportsmanship and teamwork.
We are looking for contributions to support the purchase of equipment for this younger team. Please contact us to sponsor a player. For $250 you can provide a full compliment of individual gear.
If you are interested in participating or volunteering, please contact Orcas Park and Rec at
www.orcasparkandrec.org, call 376-7275 or stop into the office located in the Funhouse Commons.
