Wrecker Football Fans,
The PAL Football Board is continuing to navigate through these unprecedented times and we are hopeful that there will be a safe and successful fall football season. We wanted to update you on our registration policies for the upcoming 2020 season. Our registration period opened on April 1st and will remain open through July 31st.
We are changing our payment policy for the upcoming season; we are asking families to register at your convenience, however, we will not be collecting payment until a later date when we can make the determination that we will be having a 2020 season. We ask that you process your registration now and once a decision is made for the season we will then ask for payment at that time and ahead of equipment pick-up.
For those families that have registered and paid in full we will give a 100% refund in the event the season is canceled.
By registering your child we will be able to continue to plan for the upcoming season so that once a decision is made we will be ready to roll.
Once a decision is made we will send a notification to all families that payment will be due prior to equipment pick-up.
The PAL Football Program is committed to supporting the Wrecker Nation and will update you as we continue to follow the recommended guidelines of our public health officials during this pandemic.

WRECKERS, PRIDE, VICTORY !
