*Info as of 8/17/20/20:

Thank you for your patience as we navigate youth sport activities during the COVID-19 pandemic!  Here is the latest and greatest information regarding the 2020 youth football season:

Flag football will replace tackle football this fall.  Flag football is designated as a “minimal/medium contact” activity permissible in Phase 2 counties (Yamhill County is in Phase 2).  We are looking forward to a successful and fun flag football program giving players the opportunity to work on skill development and fitness.

Registration/Refunds:

• The refund/reimbursement process has begun for those that paid for the 2020 season.  Paid participants will receive a full refund that should be credited within the next 72 hours. 
• Unfortunately, each player will need to reregister for flag football on the Newberg Youth Football website.  This is due to insurance issues as each player will now be registered under CPRD and not the TVYFL.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.
• Link to register here:  Registration
• Cost for flag football:  $95 (in-district), $105 (out of district)
• Registration closes September 4, please register early to guarantee team placement.
• Six-week season ending October 31.

Team Formation:

• Flag football will be a 5 on 5 league with 10 players on each team.  Players can request a coach or teammate when registering online.
• Teams will be broken up into the following:  3rd/4th grade league, 5th/6th grade league, 7th/8th grade league.  If we can get enough participants to form a separate 7th and 8th grade league we will do so.   
• All teams will consist of an equal number of players.
• We are in need of coaches!  Please contact Julie Petersen @ jpetersen@cprdnewberg.org or Nicole Mauter, NYR Registrar, at newbergregistrar@gmail.com if interested.

• We will open this league up to teams outside the Newberg/Dundee area.

Practices:

• Practices will take place twice a week in the Newberg/Dundee area.  Practice time/place will be determined by coach.  Each player will be notified of team placement by CPRD prior to practices beginning. 
• Medical Forms not needed for flag football!

Games:

• Games will be played on Newberg High School’s football field (2400 Douglas Avenue).  We would like the 5/6 and 7/8 boys to play on Friday nights under the lights but are still working on this with Newberg School District administration.  If we are not approved for Friday nights all games will be played on NHS turf field on Saturdays beginning September 26.  Games will not start before 9 am on Saturday mornings.
• The NHS varsity coaching staff will be charge of game management, the facility and officiating games on Friday/Saturday on turf field.
• Games will be 40 minutes with a running clock, two 20-minute halves and a 5-minute half time.
• Each game includes a 15-minute warm-up.
• No score is kept and there are no standings.

* Info as of 5/29/20:

Hello Newberg Youth Football Families!

While the Newberg Youth Football Board monitors youth sport information and advice from the CDC, the state of Oregon and public health authorities, we wanted to update players and their families with registration information and tentative timelines regarding the 2020 youth football season.

Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) rules govern CPRD sports, including the Newberg Youth Football program.  Moving forward, youth football (and youth activities such as camps) will call for a phased-in approach with direction from county and state public health authorities and the OSAA.  These phases will guide Newberg Youth Football as we implement a careful and responsible commencement of play.  Below is a breakdown of the current phase for football:

• Phase 1:   Conditioning and individual drills.  A player should not participate in drills with a single ball that will be handed off or passed to other teammates.  Contact with other players is not allowed and there will be no sharing of tackling dummies/donuts/sleds.  Protective equipment is prohibited.

Phase 2 and 3, currently in development, will be released by the OSAA once each county receives approval from the state.

Your child’s health and safety are our No. 1 priority – we are closely monitoring the situation and keep families updated on guidelines and recommendations from public health authorities.

While practices and games may be modified this year, we are planning and preparing to go ahead with the 2020 season.  Please join us!  Registration is open on the Newberg Youth Football website at (www.newbergyouthfootball.com)!  * If player is registered before June 30, use the discount code ‘FOOTBALL’ to receive an $50 off registration fee!  For those already registered, the $50 discount will be applied automatically and credited back to debit/credit card used within 3 business days from date of this email.  

The NYF website has been updated with current dates, please note the new OSAA medical form. 

Tentative timeline:

• Registration ends = July 30
• First practice = Monday, August 10
• Gear distribution = July 27 (7/8), July 28 (5/6), July 29 (3/4)
• First game = Saturday, September 12

If the 2020 youth football season is cancelled, CPRD will be offering a full refund to each participant registered.

Also, we are looking forward to the Newberg High School Youth Football Camp held July 13-16 ($84).  This 4-day non-contact camp, led by NHS varsity football coach Kevin Hastin, will take place on the NHS turf field for players in grades K – 8.  Register at www.newbergyouthfootball.com, free jersey included!  This camp will run with guidance/requirements and recommendations from the Oregon Health Authority/Public Health Division/Kate Brown under Executive Order No. 20-25.  Coach Hastin and staff will be implementing a screening process at check-in, physical distancing, stable groups and intensified sanitation/disinfection of all camp equipment.

Please stay tuned for future emails and visit us online at www.newbergyouthfootball.com, or on our facebook page (Newberg Tigers Youth Football).  Questions? 

• Andy Bowlby, NYF President, abowlby@hardwoodind.com
• Julie Petersen, CPRD Admin, jpetersen@cprdnewberg.org

On behalf of the entire Newberg Youth Football program, be safe and stay healthy.

Best regards,

Julie Petersen
