Game Preparation:

Please arrive at games 1 hour and 15 minutes early!

Please have your player at the field 1 hour and 15 minutes before game time to make sure they can play.  Football weigh-ins start promptly, 1 hour before the game.  If you miss weigh-ins you will miss the first half of the game.  You will, however, have the opportunity to weigh-in at half time.

Once your player is dropped off with the team, please refrain from interrupting the team's pre-game activities.

In the event of bad weather:

from the MMRFL web site: ..."The MMRFL follows the guidelines of the MHSAA/NFHS regarding Lightning and delay / suspension of games. That means that if Lightning is seen the game must be delayed and teams removed from the field of play to safety. The game cannot be resumed until 30 minutes after the last flash of lightning is seen. Based upon our schedule and the weather conditions once a game has been delayed the Area and League Staff and Game Officials will make the decision if and when a game is suspended for the day. Once suspended for the day we will either reschedule a time to finish the game or call the game complete at the point suspended. Any game rescheduled will need to be played on the next day (Sunday) or on a weekend during the season when neither team has another game per MHSAA rules. A game that is suspended part way through and rescheduled will resume at the same point in the game at which is was suspended.

As soon as we are aware of any problems we will post a notice on this Bulletin Board of any MMRFL games that are rescheduled, delayed, or cancelled for any reason. We will also update that notice for date, times, and locations of makeup game or status as soon as information is available. We suggest that you check the Bulletin board Saturday before you leave for a game if there is inclement weather on Friday or Saturday.

MMRFL President..."

THIS MEANS:

• If there is bad weather on the day of your game, check the MMRFL web site for any cancellation notices before leaving home. If there is no cancellation notice, GO TO YOUR GAME.
• If it is cold, windy, raining, or even snowing, but there is no lightning, your game will most likely be played. The Field Commissioner and/or Officials at the game location will cancel the game if weather conditions warrant it.
• If lightning occurs during your game, all players will be taken to a safe location, typically a locker room, but also possibly to their parents' cars. The Field Commissioner and/or Officals will then decide when and if to resume the game.

Good Nutrition for Practices and Games:

Eat good nutritious snacks / meals and drink plenty of fluids before coming to practice and games.   Eat healthy, slow release carb foods that will carry you through our practices and games.  Plenty of water to re-hydrate is essential to your performance.  It can be dangerous if your child becomes dehydrated.  It gets very hot during practice and games, so help your child perform his best with sticking to these DO’s and DON’T’s:

• DO:  Drink water every day, 4-6 bottles per day.  Sports Drinks are fine for games or practice.  Bring bottled water or sports drink to every practice / Game (No colored drinks that will stain a jersey during game day. (red, grape, orange, etc)
• DON’T:   Drink POP or high sugar drinks.  Juice boxes, Cool Aid, concentrated apple juice or orange juice have high amounts of sugar. 
• DO: Eat at least 1 hour before a game or practice.  If you don’t have time to eat 1 hour before practice or a game, then make sure you chose healthy snacks that you can eat just before a practice or game.  (See ideas below).
• DON’T: Come on an empty stomach or cram down a large meal right before a game or practice.  Don’t eat candy bars, or unhealthy sugary type snacks before coming to practice or a game (ice cream, snickers, chips, doughnuts, pop tarts, skittles, pop, etc.).  It may give you a quick boost of energy, but you will crash quickly and your energy will bottom out very quickly.
