PLEASE NOTE THAT PARENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE TRACK UNLESS YOU ARE WALKING.  STANDING ON THE TRACK TO WATCH PRACTICE IS NOT PERMITTED DUE TO THE LIABILITY OF THE SCHOOL AND THE LEAGUE. WE WILL BE RESPECTFUL OF THE SCHOOL, LEAGUE AND THEIR FACILITY. PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE THAT SMOKING IS PERMITTED ONLY OUTSIDE THE GATE AND AWAY FROM THE FIELD.

 I ASK ALL PARENTS TO BE AWARE OF YOUR COMMENTS CONCERNING OUR CHILDREN, THEIR SKILL AND ABILITY LEVELS. NEGATIVE COMMENTS SHOULD BE KEPT TO YOURSELF.  I ASK YOU TO USE DISCRETION AT ALL TIMES WHILE AT THE SCHOOL. BAD MOUTHING AND GOSSIP IS UNBECOMING OF THE HIGH STANDARDS WE STRIVE TO HAVE FOR OUR PROGRAM. REMEMBER WE ARE HERE FOR THE CHILDREN. WE WANT OUR ASSOCIATION TO BE LIKE A SECOND FAMILY TO ALL INVOLVED. IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES THAT ARISE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT MYSELF OR ANY BOARD MEMBER. COACHES ARE NOT MEDIATORS. THEY ARE ON THE FIELD TO DO A JOB. THAT IS TO SEE THAT EVERY BOY AND GIRL IN OUR ASSOCIATION REACHES THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AND THEN SOME.

 
BE ADVISED THAT ANY PERSON WHOSE CONDUCT IS DEEMED TO BE DETRIMENTAL TO THIS ASSOCIATION WILL BANNED FROM THE PARK AND POSSIBLY THE LEAGUE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY MY GOAL IS FOR EACH AND EVERY CHILD AND THEIR FAMILY IN OUR ASSOCIATION TO HAVE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE AND COME BACK YEAR AFTER. IT TAKES A VILLAGE. LET’S BE THE BEST ONE WE CAN BE.

 THANK YOU,

MARIETTA YOUTH FOOTBALL

Cobb NAACP to honor community leaders

October 26, 2011 03:21 PM |

MARIETTA — The Cobb NAACP will honor community leaders Friday night at its 30th annual Oscar R. Freeman Fund Awards Banquet at the Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel & Conference Center at 500 Powder Springs St. in Marietta.

The black-tie optional event will begin with a reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. The awards program will begin at 8:15 p.m. 

Awards are given to community leaders for achievement in a variety of fields, including community service, education, youth activities and business, for their work in Cobb County.

Past honorees include retired Lockheed Martin executive vice president Lee Rhyant, former Cobb school board member Betty Gray and state Rep. Alisha Thomas Morgan. 

This year’s Community Service Award is being awarded to Union Chapel United Methodist Church in Marietta for its work serving the homeless. 

This year’s Business Award will also be awarded to a recipient that mentors youth. 

The Marietta Blue Eagles offers youth football and cheerleader for boys and girls, ages 4 to 12. The nonprofit began in 2000 from an idea that arouse from a meeting with Marietta police officers concerned with youth who had nothing to do after school. Since then, hundreds of children have participated in the program.

Garland and Sherol Baker run the program and also sit on the board of directors.

“This husband and wife team has been true mentors for the kids for the last 20 years,” said Bonner, who added that her grandchildren have learned sportsmanship on and off the field through the program.

In 2010, the event was renamed the Oscar Freeman Fund Banquet to honor the late, past president of the NAACP’s Cobb branch. This year’s banquet co-chairs are Kim Gresh, S.A. White Oil Co. president, and Pedro Cherry, Georgia Power’s metro west region manager. The honorary co-chairs are Shan Cooper, Lockheed Martin vice president and general manager, and Sam Olens, state Attorney General.

“We’re real excited about our honorees because they epitomize our community,” said Bonner. “When you’re talking about an awards ceremony, you want people to leave saying they were well-deserved.”

• • MESSAGE FROM THE Marietta CARDINALS  BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Dear Youth Cardinal Fans and Family...  
As we embark on the 15th season we are excited in the direction the Marietta Youth Football and cheerleader Organization is heading. We have a well defined plan and are focused on accomplishing our goal to be the best Youth Football Organization in Georgia. We have bolstered our Board of Directors with individuals who have extensive knowledge of football and, even greater knowledge of business, organization and structure. 

 With growth there will be growing pains and adjustments. However in order to grow you must be willing to allow and accept change, and let negativity and all those that contribute to negativity go elsewhere. The result of this is now part harmony and the ability to accomplish our goal which is:

 To make our KIDS the main focus by challenging them to be the best that they can be in the classroom first and then on the field.

We have very experienced Coaches at all Age Groups. We are prepared to have multiple teams in any age group.   Our head coaching staffs have over 70 years of combined coaching experience  
 THE Marietta CARDINALS
