Lincoln Park Jr. Rails

Lincoln Park Junior Rails

PRACTICE STARTS MONDAY 8/15/2011, ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!

We are the Rails!!!

The purpose of our organization is to aid in the improvement and development of the capabilities of all youth 8 through 13 years of age, with the intention of inspiring them, regardless of race, creed or national origin, to practice the ideals of sportsmanship, scholarship, and fellowship toward the goal of promoting more meaningful lives. Age and weight requirements will conform to the Downriver Junior Football League rules.

The specific objectives of the JR rails are to keep the welfare of the participants free of any adult ambition and personal glory. To provide the means through which youth receive education and instruction in sports programs. To develop a sense of fair play, honest and fair competition and true sportsmanship. To provide equal competitive standards with emphasis on the safeguards of the physical and emotional health and welfare of all youth involved.

It is the aim of the JR. Rails to create an atmosphere conducive to the development of mind and character based upon the principles of involvement, dedication, integrity, and love. Creating fellowship of ordinary adults with a desire to become better persons. Who through that fellowship have joined together to make a positive influence on young people during their early adolescence.

We establish the basis of these goals through the following core activities:

We establish uniform playing rules for all members.
We schedule participation of members on an equal basis.
We promote the growth of this type of activity amongst as many youth as possible.
We coordinate publicity, fund raising promotions and activities.
We perform such other functions as are necessary or required to promote the purpose as stated above not feasible to be performed by the members as individuals.
