 We would like to thank all of our sponsors, golfers and volunteers who made our 8th Annual Doc Maguire Golf Outing a success!  The weather was beautiful and the golf was great!

A special thanks goes out to the Maguire Family for their continued support of our organization year after year!

Kristin Maguire won the helicopter ride raffle for our 1st Annual Ball Drop.  I'm sure that was an amazing experience!

The winner of the Ball Drop was James Manley - father of Dan Manley (100JV) and Tommy Manley (120JV).  The Manley Family have graciously donated the winnings back to the organization.  Thanks Manley Family!

If you missed coming out for a day of golf this season, please join us for golf and fun in the sun next year with our other Wildcat supporters.  You'll have a great time! 

Go Wildcats!

 McCormick Orthodontics is currently offering to provide FREE custom mouth guards to all Wildcats. 

A custom mouth guard fits more comfortably in the mouth, and doesn't inhibit breathing or speech.  The real benefit is the level of protection it provides for the teeth and jaws while also offering some protection from concussion.

While providing a FREE custom fit mouth guard, McCormick Orthodontics will provide a FREE orthodontic screening. 

For more information, please review the McCormick Orthodontics Flyer.  If you are interested in making an appointment, please call 610-869-5660 and mention the Wildcat Mouth Guard Program to schedule your child's impression and exam.

 With great pleasure, we are proud to announce that the Avon Grove Wildcats were awarded the 2009 Bert Bell Memorial Football Conference Sportsmanship Award at the Coaches Banquet on Friday evening.
 
The award is the final one presented at the banquet and is voted on by the member organizations.  The award recognizes the member organization that best represents the ideals of youth sports and the commitment to helping the kids grow, learn, and mature into young adults, and from the league perspective, it is the highest honor an organization can receive.
 
When announcing the award, Judy Hahn (Bert Bell Commissioner) told the group that this year's recipient was the overwhelming winner.  She went on to state to the audience that she and the Board were repeatedly provided with examples of fine sportsmanship from our players/cheerleaders, coaches, fans, and organization throughout the season from other clubs, the league directors, and the officials.
 
On behalf of the Avon Grove Wildcats, thank you each for your contribution to this award and to your efforts throughout the season, on and off the field.
 
It was an honor to accept the award for our organization...and the standing ovation was pretty cool too!
 
Thanks again...
 
Bill Oosterom
 
P.S. - The trophy is huge and will be proudly displayed at home games next season.

 As you are aware, the Avon Grove Wildcats is a volunteer organization.  In order for us to be a successful organization, we expect ALL of our parents to be involved.  Your child's team may need you for any type of duty.  Each football team and cheerleading squad will require a variety of tasks to be completed throughout the season.

We are aware that everyone has busy schedules, multiple children and a myriad of reasons why it is difficult for them to volunteer.  Please work with your team parent to assist with any needed volunteer item.

Some of the available volunteer opportunities are:

• Football half-time snacks
  • Orange slices, grapes, etc.
• Trash clean-up
  • Empty trash cans, put in new trash bags, pick up trash on both sidelines
• Bathroom inspections and light cleaning
  • Make sure there is toilet paper and paper towels
  • Make sure there is no trash on the floor
  • Make sure bathrooms are presentable
• Chains
  • 3 people to hold chains and down marker
• Parking
  • Direct overflow parking to church lot
• Homecoming Festivities
  • Selling 50/50 raffle tickets, making baked goods, obtaining flowers, tents, balloons, making banners and pins, etc.
• Field Maintenance Volunteers
• Medical Personnel for each home game

None of this would be possible without the time and support offered by the parents. 
Your role is important, not only to support your child, but also the Wildcats organization.
