Thanks For Lugging Litter!
by posted 04/09/2009
 
Thanks to all who came out to participate in Simsbury’s second annual Litter Lugging Day! The day was a great success for the beautification of our community. Our Trojan boys and girls got “down and dirty” digging through the garbage collected by other volunteers. They diligently sorted recyclable materials in an effort to protect our environment. Great job Trojans!

Exciting Changes for 2009 Season, Football and Cheer!!
by posted 02/13/2009
 
Trojan Families…
           
The word is out! Simsbury Trojan Youth Football and Cheer (SYFL) is very excited to announce the acceptance of the All American Division to our football program. We have eagerly adopted this safer model of classifying players to specific teams. Simply put, your football player will play with, and against, players in the same grade. The days of “older / lighters” and “weekly weigh-ins” are over. With very few exceptions, your child will play on the same team as his classmates. Data from multiple highly recognized and respected institutions clearly reports that kids are much safer playing with peers their own age and maturity level, despite weight differences. In essence, maturity differences (older/lighter players) prove to be a greater risk to safety than weight differences.
           
The SYFL Board of Directors has spent a great deal of time and effort researching ways to raise the level of safety of our players. The Board of Directors believes that the All American Division does just that. This model of play is the fastest growing division in the American Youth Football League (AYFL), of which SYFL is a member. As you may or may not know, the AYFL is the largest youth football program in the country, and we are proud to be a part of it.
           
Your Board of Directors strongly believe that every child in grades 2 through 8 deserves the opportunity to belong to a football family that promotes a safe, fun, and memorable experience.
 
           
If the All American Division news wasn’t exciting enough, we’ve saved the best for last!
           
It is my most spirited pleasure to announce and welcome Coach Dennis Barfield as our new Vice President of Cheer and Director of Cheer Coaching. Coach Barfield and his staff come to us from an extremely successful and competitive All-Star Cheer program in Western Massachusetts. Several national rankings and 3 national championships are just a few of the titles he and his staff have acquired with their junior and senior cheer teams. Many of the young girls who know Coach Barfield are elated about incorporating his ideas about tumbling and flying into our cheer program. Dennis and his staff bring credentials in tumbling, safety, first aid, choreography, and more, which open the door to many new opportunities for our girls and boys that cheer. Six children share the Barfield home, all of which have cheer competition experience, and are very eager to don the Trojan Blue and Gold for ’09. Safety, hard work, and fun is what Coach Barfield believes is the recipe for a successful year for TROJAN CHEER!
 
If you have questions regarding any of the changes announced above, please feel free to contact any board member directly.     

                                             Sincerely,
 
                                                Frank Salls

2009 Simsbury Youth Trojans Update - New Board Members Announced
by posted 02/04/2009
 

Trojan Families, 

Effective February 9th, I will assume the position of President of the Simsbury Trojan Youth Football and Cheer organization (SYFL).  I accept this position with great appreciation and enthusiasm, and feel fortunate for the opportunity to advocate for the boys and girls in the program. I want to thank our new Board of Directors for their support and vote of confidence in selecting me for this position.

The year round commitment to excellence in football and cheer is only possible due to the selfless dedication of our Board of Directors.  Meeting monthly with an open forum policy, our Trojan Board has grown to include the following members and positions: 

Past President/Incoming Commissioner: Eric Lenhart

 

Director of Coaching: Mike Lancaster

Vice President Football Operations: Tim Thompson

 

Treasurer: Chris Bombara

Director of League Administration: Emily Magaw

 

Web Manager: John Helmkamp

Director of Volunteer Operations: Pam Lindley

 

Directors at Large: Kurt Hallenbeck /

Director of Field Maintenance: John Ruszbatsky

 

Scott Salisbury

Director of Equipment and Storage: Gary Faraci

 

 

 Your Trojan Board of Directors understands that your family has multiple choices for fall athletics. In addition to soccer and fall baseball, our community offers another worthy youth football and cheer program that meets the needs of their families as well. We at SYFL wish continued success to their organization.

This year, SYFL will continue to provide the best possible value for your football and cheer fees. These fees not only offset the expense of state-of-the-art safety equipment, they make possible various activities and functions designed to enhance the Trojan community experience.  Participation in holiday parades, unique football and cheer t-shirts, annual family barbeque, and a year end celebration featuring team highlight films, scholastic awards, and trophies, are just some examples of activities included in your registration fees.  SYFL will again host the annual fund raising Golf Tournament and Dinner Dance, which is a fantastic way to promote a sense of community among our families and celebrate the start of a new and exciting season.  

Last season’s year end Football and Cheer Celebration was a huge success made possible by a subcommittee of volunteers. This amazing celebration demonstrates the impact volunteers have on our organization.  This year we are fortunate to have Pam Lindley on our board as the Director of Volunteer Operations.  Pam and I will be recruiting volunteers to assist in a myriad of activities at all levels of involvement.  Coaches and board members simply cannot continue to coordinate all the activities that make our program a wonderful experience for our children.  Becoming a volunteer is a great way to get involved in your child’s experience.

The success of the SYFL program is a result of continued support by families and local businesses.  Our dedicated coaches and volunteers instill life lessons of safety and sportsmanship, while ensuring great fun along the way.  Safety combined with providing the children a positive and rewarding experience is our organization’s number one priority. We look forward to continued cooperation as new families join our organization.

Our season will commence on August 3rd, and we anticipate it to be a season like no other.  We will be communicating again in the near future announcing more exciting changes and opportunities. I look forward to seeing all the returning Trojan Families, and meeting the new Trojan Families that will join our organization for a safe, fun and memorable experience.

Sincerely,

Frank Salls
