The New Castle Youth Football Association announces the start of registration for our first season as a parent-run organization. All boys and girls in grades 4, 5 and 6 are eligible to play.  I want to start by thanking the community for their enormous support in helping us get started.

Registration and medical forms can be downloaded from our website, www.newcastlefootball.org, or picked up at EZ Sports at 79 South Greeley Avenue in downtown Chappaqua. The completed form along with a check for the $125 registration fee made out to “New Castle Youth Football” must be submitted by Monday, September 13.

The program will run from Monday, September 13, until Friday, November 5, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday when school is in session from 6:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.  Games are played Wednesdays and Fridays.

We have two leagues, one for fourth and fifth graders, and one for the bigger fifth graders and all sixth graders.  All players must provide their own equipment approved by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE).

Thanks to Jim Nottingham for taking the reins and making our parent-run football league a reality. From rec football to Varsity, it’s going to be a great season for the New Castle football community! Thanks, too, to our board of directors and “at large” board members:

James Nottingham, President
Karen Berkey, Treasurer
Claudio Phillips, Secretary
Betsy Phillips, Registrar
Dan Papes, VP Communications
Peter Zimmerman, VP Coaching/Equipment
William Hriskonich, VP Fields & Referees
Rob Bowen, At-Large
