Hello to all our Venice UTL families,
Friday Night Lights are saved!
Yes, an update to our updates and an early Christmas miracle. ☺️
As you all know over the past month, Coach Brown has been working with Corporate and County on playing location for this upcoming Winter season. Wellfield is currently unavailable due to that site being used for Hurricane disaster cleanup. From the beginning, folding and canceling the season; turning away 300+ children was not an option. UA Flag football is a fun family event enjoyed by the Venice and surrounding areas community.
We had made final decision and announcement earlier this week to move the games to Saturdays at The Lakefront Church in Venice.
As of yesterday afternoon, we received in writing from the county a formal confirmation that they are reserving the fields in Englewood for Friday Nights Under the lights game times!!
They old saying "it takes a village" holds true. We really appreciate the efforts and hard work from a group of dedicated Coaches to make both opportunities available for us.
Moving back to Friday nights definitely meets the needs of the community.
We will keep the registration link open for those who would like to return and hold a spot for this season. Coaches will receive their rosters ASAP and orders will be placed for uniforms by the end of this weekend.
The schedule for the season will return to as previously planned:
Friday Nights (games start at 6pm and end by 10pm)
Season Dates
December 2, 9, 16,
January 13, 20, 27
February 3, 10 (Championships)
Englewood Sports Complex
1300 S River Rd, Englewood, FL 34223
So, let's go and make this season, which is already off to a memorable start, a FANTASTIC one!! Friday night football UNDER THE LIGHTS!
