When and where are practices held?

             Fall practice will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings between 6:30pm-8pm @ Legacy Middle School.  Spring practice is held at Salado Intermediate School usually 2 nights a week during the spring season. 

 

Is there a weight restriction for players?

             No, the Jr. Hornets are a part of TYFA, a non-weight restricted league.

 

How long do practices last?

             Practices usually last between an hour and half to two hours depending on the Head Coach. 

 

Do you practice on Saturdays?

             There may be practice on Saturdays if the Head Coach feels it is necessary.

 

Where are games played?

             Games are played at various locations throughout San Antonio and surrounding cities.  Some travel may be required, but should be limited.

 

Do you have fundraisers?

             In an effort to keep registration costs as low as possible for parents and families and since it does not cover all expenses, we do have only one fundraiser per season.  The fundraiser will be reasonable and should not be overbearing, but needless to say is required.

 

In what weather conditions do we practice and play?

             Practice and games will only be cancelled when weather conditions make travel dangerous.  We will practice and play in the rain unless there is lightning within 5 miles.

 

 

How much playing time will my child get?

             There is no mandatory play rule in TYFA however all the Jr. Hornet teams are required to play all players at least 4 live ball situations provided the player has not missed or been late to practice more than once within the last two weeks of the current game.  We trust our coaches to be fair and just, but also encourage competitive play as TYFA is a highly competitive league so being late or missing practice is detrimental to the overall effort of the team.

 

Do you have a limit on the number of players on a team?

             Yes, we do limit the size of our teams to help ensure players receive adequate playing time.

 

When and how long is the football season?

             Spring season practice may begin in February and usually runs about 12 weeks.  Fall season begins August 1st and usually runs about 18 weeks depending on how far the team goes into the playoffs.

 

Do parents have to be present at practice?

             We do require one parent or guardian be present at practice.

 

Are coaches certified?

             Yes, coaches must go through a TYFA certification process each season and must submit to a background check as part of the process.

 

How can I become a coach?

             You can contact us and we will setup an interview to discuss our opportunities to build a rewarding experience for you as a volunteer. 

 

What is your refund policy?

             We hold a $50 non-refundable deposit to reserve roster spots.  Any additional payments are available for refund up to the end of the first night of practice of the current season.  After that first night of practice there will be no refunds available.
