All registrants are placed and/or drafted to a squad/team. NO ONE is cut and we have a MUST play rule. We are NOT a travel league, all games are played at Marty Snook Park in Hagerstown, MD with the possible exception of one game elsewhere. Cheer does not tryout, they are automatically placed on a squad within their district. Only districts with more than one football team in an area require tryouts and will then hold a draft. Cheer who have brothers playing football, will follow their brother. Players do not follow Cheer, per our bylaws.
