The

would like to extend a "Thank
you" to
Aurora Healthcares, Alyssa Crossman and Stacey Kranner
for providing Athletic Trainers
to each of our home games this
2012 year. The Oshkosh Flyers
Football Club in partnership
with Aurora Health Care are
putting safety first for all our
players. This would not be
possible without their generous
contribution of these fine
Athletic Trainers.”
A great big
THANK YOU!!!!!! goes out to
Bill
Counts- He donated the
transportation for the 6th grade
team to all the away games this
season. This was a very generous
donation and a great help to the
Flyers organization. It is
very much appreciated by our
staff and our players and
parents. Thanks Bill!
A Note
from our President, Al Gebel
July 16, 2012
Hello Flyer
participants and Parents,
I hope
everyone is having an enjoyable
summer! Kids, make sure
you are drinking plenty of water
and getting outside and taking
in these sunny days before it
gets cold.
In less
than a month another outstanding
Flyers football season will be
upon us.
This year,
the Oshkosh Flyers Football
program has a new 5th grade
coach. Andrew Spanbauer
has stepped down, and Joe
Schleis has replaced Andrew as
the head coach. We want to
thank Andrew for his commitment
to the Flyers program as head
coach of the 5th
grade team. Andrew’s
contributions to our program
were many and he will be missed.
Joe comes
to the Oshkosh Flyers Football
program with many years of
football coaching experience.
Joe will bring a fresh outlook
and attitude to the 5th
grade squad. We want to
wish Joe all the best for a
successful first season as the 5th
grade Head Coach.
During this
past off season, the State of
Wisconsin passed a
concussion law that requires
parents, coaches and
participants to read and
understand what causes
concussions, how to determine if
a player has a concussion and
what to do if a player has been
diagnosed with a concussion.
Parents, players and coaches are
required to sign a document that
you have read and understood the
information that has been
provided by the Flyers.
No player
will be allowed to participate
in practice or a game until a
signed document is on file with
the Oshkosh Flyers Football
club. The Flyers will be
sending out the forms to all
registered families.
Please sign the form and deliver
it back to the Flyers at
equipment hand out, which is
scheduled for July 28th.
We will have a table set up
where you will be able to drop
off the signed documents.
The Oshkosh
Flyers Football program is again
apart of the AAYFL. The
AAYFL is the largest youth
football program in the country
with 46 teams from all over
eastern area of Wisconsin.
The AAYFL is committed to
expanding the league even
further. The Oshkosh
Flyers are thankful to be a part
of such a strong and growing
youth football league.
All
practices will be at Carl
Traeger Middle School in 2012.
We are grateful for the kind
staff at Carl Traeger for
letting us use their fields.
We have
added several new coaches to
each team. Please check
out the website to see who is on
the coaching staffs for each
team this year.
The Oshkosh
Flyers Football Club is very
excited about the upcoming
season. We have a
well-trained, dedicated and
experienced staff of coaches.
Without their timeless efforts
the Flyers would not be the
first class youth football
program that it is today. The
expectations are always high
with the Oshkosh Flyers Football
Club. The high
expectations are not driven
solely by wins and losses, but
by how much the players grow
physically and intellectually in
the game of football.
Our strong commitment to
developing youth football
players is the backbone of our
Club!!
We are
looking forward to another
outstanding season from the 5th,
6th, 7th and 8th grade teams.

New Heat Index Policy for
practices
OFFC
has instituted a heat index
policy. We will use the
following guidelines:
-
Heat Index of 95-100 degrees
– No strenuous practices in
full pads.
-
Heat Index of 101-104
degrees – Shorts and
T-shirts only at practice.
Practice time to be reduced
to 1 hour maximum.
-
Heat Index of 105 and above
– No practice.
The
heat index will be determined by
12:00 pm on the day that is in
question. All head coaches will
need to check to see what the
level is that day. We will put
the information on the web site.
There
is no WIAA policy or OASD policy
so we have determined these
based on several other states
that have adopted a heat index
policy.

THANK YOU!
A big thank you to Race Office Products and Serv-Ice
for donating cups and ice for
the Flyers practices!
Race Office Products - Dick Geiser - a sales rep for
Race - for the 2nd year has
coordinated a contribution to
the Oshkosh Flyers and has
donated cups for all of the
Flyers practices. We have
200 players and go through
approximately 10,000 cups per
season. Race donates 50%
of the cups at cost, and the
manufacturer donates 50%.
Serv-Ice - Tom Leske - a Flyers parent - owns Serv-Ice
and has coordinated the
placement of a Serv-Ice Cooler
at Traeger for the Oshkosh
Flyers. (It is the
big red
Badger cooler on the side
of the school - see picture
below) This allows us to store
ice at our practice field which
helps us save significantly on
cost and is a great convenience
for our team. Serv-Ice also
donated the ice to fill the
cooler which we use for treating
any injuries to the players.
Thank you for your contribution
to the Oshkosh Flyers.
It is greatly appreciated!
Please be sure to thank
these companies and individuals
if you have the opportunity to do so.
