EVALUATIONS

Our evaluation dates for Homestead Youth Football League are spent collecting player metrics and observing skills so that we can "score" a player. We do this to establish a baseline score when forming each team for the league. We have also asked our coaches to "score" our returning players based on their level of play in 2025.  Our goal is to make all teams competitive with a focus on development. Player evaluations & Weigh-Ins will be:

July 16th from 5:30 - 8:30PM (PFT 5:30-7 and Tackle 7-8:30)
July 19th from 1 - 4PM (PFT 1-2:30 and Tackle 2:30-4)
Final Make-up TBD

Please check in at Door 1 upon arrival.  After check in, players will move to the practice turf field for evaluations.  We plan to have 5 stations for evaluations that they will rotate through.  Once they have completed each station they are free to go.  Your player only needs to attend ONE of these days.
