2025 UVGK Final Schedule
📣 Season Kickoff Reminder for Parents 📣
As we head into another exciting Grid Kid season, we want to remind everyone that while football is a competitive and passionate game, it’s important that we all keep our reactions in check.
❌ Yelling at referees is not acceptable.
❌ Yelling at coaches—or across the field at opposing coaches—is not acceptable.
We understand emotions run high, but our athletes look to us for examples of sportsmanship.
⚖️ 24-Hour Policy ⚖️
If you are upset about something, please wait 24 hours before approaching your child’s coach. If the coach is unable to resolve the issue, you may then escalate it to your Area Director. If further direction is needed, the Area Director may choose to involve the League Board.
🚫 Please do not call your Area Director or a board member before speaking with your coach. Coaches are the most “in tune” with the day-to-day needs and challenges of your athlete and team.
⚠️ Important Reminder: Continued poor behavior from a parent may result in removal from the league.
Thank you for helping us create a positive experience for all of our players this season. Let’s make this another great year of football! 🏈💪
REMINDER CONCERNING FILM
We wanted to clarify the league's policy on the use of game film. Please note that the league will not use film to:
- Change a call made during a game,
- Alter the outcome of a game, or
- Eject coaches or players if no action was taken by the officials during the game.
However, the league may review game film to initiate discussions with coaches, players, or officials if necessary. These discussions are aimed at promoting growth, understanding, and improvement within our league. If any issues arise, we encourage direct communication with the league to address them constructively.
Also, please remember that these are young athletes we are working with. Our primary goal is to instill life skills that extend beyond football, including teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. Let’s keep that in mind as we guide them on and off the field.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued commitment to fostering a positive environment for our players.
There will now be up to 5 events allowed per week (after games start), with 1 of these events being a non-practice, non-contact event. example: film night, team building activity, etc.
