The Acworth Football and Cheerleading Association, Inc. (AFCA) provides competitive and instructional football and cheerleading opportunities for children between the ages of three and twelve. Children are divided into single age groups and within those age groups are assigned to teams with kids of similar abilities and experience level. We also provide a 3 & 4 year old Tiny-tot Flag football that plays in-park. Tackle football starts at age five.
Dear Parent,
First, on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Acworth Football and Cheerleading Association, I would like to welcome all of our new families to the organization and welcome back all of our returning families. The first day of practice will be here before we know it! Below is some information that will make the first week transition easier for all of our participants, parents, and coaches:
First Day of Practice. The first day of practice for all football players and cheerleaders will be Monday, July 27. Practice will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. All participants should report directly to Field 1. There will be signage for each age group posted. The participants will be taken to their practice locations from there. Football players should have their helmet and be dressed in t-shirt, shorts, and cleats unless otherwise noted by your coach. Tiny Tot Flag Football will start on Tuesday, August 11. Cheerleaders should be dressed in a t-shirt, shorts, sneakers, no jewelry, no flip flops, no jean shorts, and hair pulled up into a pony tail. Please keep in mind that hydration prior to practice is extremely important!
First Week of Practice. The first week of practice will be scheduled for Monday through Thursday, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The Head Coach will provide you with a schedule from that point forward.
Equipment and Uniforms. If you have not had an opportunity to pick up your football player’s equipment or to get your cheerleader sized for their uniform, you can do so at one of our onsite registration dates. Equipment pickup will be held on July 11, July 18 and July 25 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. each day. If you registered online, please make sure that you bring checks for your concession stand and equipment deposits. You will need a $60 check for the concession deposit and $200 for the equipment deposit. These checks are only cashed if you do not fulfill your concession stand obligations or return your equipment.
Coaches. You should be receiving an email or a phone call from the Division One Head Coach before the season starts. In the case you do not, the coach information is provided below:
Inclement Weather. In the case of inclement weather all cancellations will be made at www.acworthwarriors.com by 5:00 p.m. If nothing has been posted, all participants should plan to report to the field, any cancellations after 5:00 p.m. will be made at the field. In the case of delays at the field due to lightening, all participants will be sent to their vehicles during the delay. Association volunteers will notify everyone when an official call to proceed with practice or to cancel has been made. The Association does have a heat policy in place that may delay the start of practice, but all participants should still report to the field on time. Social Media and Text Alerts.
