FOOTBALL TEAM REQUIREMENTS : 2012-2013 SEASON
Football was initiated at Lewis Mills as its own program for the fall of 2008 at the JV level. To enable the Board of Education to approve football as its own program, the following cost share plan was negotiated. Due to the challenging economy, modifications to the BOE contribution were necessary. In addition to this financing plan for the program, the Board of Education will also review the progress of football at the conclusion of each year, considering all aspects of the program.
For the 2012-2013 year, the parent contribution cost per athlete in grades 10-12 will be $300. For incoming Freshmen, the amount will be $200. A family cap of $450 will apply. These payments will be due by August 1st and may be made payable to Lewis Mills Football. Please note that student-athletes will not be allowed to participate in scrimmages or games if payment has not been made. There is financial support available for any student-athlete/family for whom this fee creates a hardship. Please contact Coach Todd, Robert Dunn (Football Booster Club) or Dave Tanner (Coordinator of Athletics) for more information.
In the event monies are raised above the estimates for Parent Contribution or for Annual Fundraising, these monies will be deposited in the General Football Account which supplies the Booster Fund Contribution each year. The goal of this fund is to eventually become an endowment to ensure the financial stability of football at Lewis Mills for years to come.
Please complete and return the section below
with payment by August 1st. If you have any questions, please contact the athletic
office at 860-673-9657.

Football actually began at Lewis Mills with the participation of Lewis Mills with the St. Paul tri-op. While the 2009-2010 school year was the final year of phase out for our participation and no new athletes were allowed to join, the initial groundwork for the new Lewis Mills program was put down through this tri-op involvement. In moving toward our own program, many efforts and meetings with the Board of Education occurred. The following is the PowerPoint presentation to the Board of Education on November 13, 2007. This Power Point may help new families better understand the foundation on which the Lewis Mills program is built.
