Returning for the fall of 2024, Mire Whelps Football.
For those who remember, Mire used to host a very successful youth tackle football program.
With most kids not having an option after aging out of flag football with Rayne Rec, and a lack of available alternatives for this area, a decision was made to bring back Mire Whelps Football.
The team will be led by Head Coach Reggie Daigle along with a to be determined coaching staff. The team will be managed by Kerry Richard.
We will play in a league with other Acadia Parish middle schools and plan to utilize Rayne High School Stadium for our home games. This will be a 6th, 7th, and 8th grade team and will be open to kids from Rayne High feeder schools (that plan to attend there or private high school) that do not attend Armstrong as Armstrong already has an established football program that feeds into Rayne High. THIS TEAM WILL NOT BE AFFILIATED WITH ANY SCHOOL, INCLUDING MIRE ELEMENTARY.
As we are just beginning this journey, it will take a while to get everything straightened out and we are open to outside help. Over the coming months we will begin fundraising to purchase equipment and insurance for the team. As we progress over the winter and into the spring we will begin building the team and provide further information on team size, tryouts, etc for the 2024 season.
Please follow this page for updates as we go and we look forward to a great support system.
Any questions please feel free to reach out.
