🏈🏈THANK YOU to everyone who has signed up this week! We still have some time slots that are pretty light or have no help. Our board members will be there but we can’t do it alone. 🏈🏈

🔵 8-9 am only has one volunteer
🔵 12-1pm could use a couple more
🔵 1-2:30 we only have two volunteers

We did move admission collections to the gate because of staffing.

Thank you for supporting the JFL

🚨 BLUEJAYS FAMILIES — WE NEED YOU THIS SATURDAY! 🚨

Flag Day is a BIG day for Bluejays Jr. Football! We are hosting the entire league at our location, with four games running every hour from 8:00 AM–2:00 PM.

That means we need 9 volunteers every hour from 7:00 AM–3:30 PM to keep everything running smoothly — and right now, we only have 5 volunteers signed up for the entire day.

If your child is part of Bluejays Jr. Football, we are asking your family to take a volunteer shift. This is how we make the program happen for our kids, and we need everyone to do their part.

If we do not get volunteers we will be forced to CANCEL the event. Our program is solely funded on our admissions and concessions without home games...we have no program.

Thank you to everyone who has already signed up. Now we need the rest of our Bluejays family to step up! Let's show our kids what being part of a team means — on the field AND off. 💙💛🏈

When our kids are on the field, we all have a role to play.

🏈 BLUEJAYS JR FOOTBALL NEEDS YOU! 🏈

Football season is here, and it takes all of us to make game days happen!

Our players get to take the field because families and community members step up behind the scenes. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, friend, or Bluejays supporter — we need you on the team, too!

When our kids are on the field, we all have a role to play. Even one volunteer shift can make a huge difference!

First day of flag football games!

Sometimes teams have conflicts and cancel last minute but that doesn’t stop the Jays from creating an impromptu scrimmage game! Thank you to everyone that came out to support the Junior Bluejay’s today!

Team Thompson is a resilient bunch and always ready to play any team including each other. Very impressed with these kids today. Thank you again. GO JAYS!!!!! 💪🏈

WAY TO GO JAYS!
