About Our Program

Our national program started in 2010 with a goal of developing and teaching student athletes the fundamentals of football.  We started out with Pop Warner as the Hampton Hawkeyes (see video on the right). Being the first national organization in Hampton we looked to create new traditions and experiences for student athletes on the peninsula.   We strive to meet this goal with a variety of training techniques from basic football drills to strategic game day preparation.  We have competed and been successful in all aspects of National Football whether it was Pop Warner, UYFL or AYF.  We take pride in not only the development of our athletes but also their academic progression which is why we are developing new partnerships this season to enhance our student athlete's overall experience.

I further understand and recognize that my health and safety is the most important thing and without disclosing all injuries and or illnesses, it can not be properly determined if you are in the physical condition necessary to participate. I understand that I must provide a full and accurate medical history including any symptoms, health complaints and any prior injuries and/or disabilities I have experienced before, during or after athletic activities.

By signing below, I acknowledge:

  • My organization has provided me with specific educational materials including the CDC Concussion fact sheet (http://www.cdc.gov/concussion) on what a concussion is and has given me an opportunity to ask questions.
  • I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ THE FACT SHEET on the CDC website for Parents and Players.
  • I have fully disclosed to the staff any prior medical conditions and will also disclose any future conditions.
  • There is a possibility that participation in my sport may result in a head injury and/or concussion. In rare cases, these concussions can cause permanent brain damage, and even death.
  • A concussion is a brain injury, which I am responsible for reporting to the team physician, athletic trainer, coach, parent volunteer, or official.
  • A concussion can affect my ability to perform everyday activities, and affect my reaction time, balance, sleep, and classroom performance.
  • Some of the symptoms of concussion may be noticed right away while other symptoms can show up hours or days after the injury.
  • If I suspect a teammate has a concussion, I am responsible for reporting the injury to the staff.

  • I will not return to play in a game or practice until my symptoms have resolved AND I have written clearance to do so by a qualified health care professional.
  • Following concussion the brain needs time to heal and you are much more likely to have a repeat concussion or further damage if you return to play before your symptoms resolve.

Based on the incidence of concussion as published by the CDC football and cheer, among other sports, have been identified as high risk for concussion. I represent and certify that I and my parent/guardian have read the entirety of this document and fully understand the contents, consequences and implications of signing this document and agree to be bound by this document.

Court cost, Postage, etc).

The Participant shall not make any alterations, additions, modifications, or improvements to the rentals and shall use it only for the purpose and in the manner for which it was intended by the manufacturer unless given written consent by a HRYSA board member or director.

To achieve this goal, we must have guidelines in place to ensure we are compliant with our processes and an asset to our members.   For additional details on the fundraiser guidelines click here.

Hampton Roads Hokies will not tolerate verbal abuse of its volunteer coaches from any Fan, Parent or Spectator.

Fans, as well as the players and coaches, are expected to abide by a code of conduct at all Hokies Events. While 99% of the adults in the program will abide by this code without being told, this code is being published to protect the children and volunteers (which includes all coaches and board members) from the 1%.

FANS' CODE OF CONDUCT

Fans will abide by a Code of Conduct which includes the provisions which follow. If any of these rules are broken, Hampton Roads Hokies shall have the authority to impose a penalty.
Fans shall:

  1. Not criticize the players/cheerleaders or coaches in front of the other spectators in the stands, but reserve constructive criticism for later, in private.
  2. Accept decisions of the game officials (including referees and coaches) on the field as being fair and called to the best ability of said officials.
  3. Not criticize an opposing team, its players, coaches, or fans by work of mouth or by gesture.
  4. Refrain from using physical or verbal abuse or profane language at any time at the game, practice field, or other Hokie functions.
  5. Abstain from being under the influence of or in possession of and/or drinking alcoholic beverages and the possession or use of any illegal substance on both the game and practice fields.
  6. Not be allowed on the sidelines during a game.
  7. Not interfere/interrupt the coaching staff before, during or after games or at practice.
  8. Not express complaints about coaches in stands or to coaches in front of or around the children (i.e. right after a game or practice).

VIOLATION

Any parent or fan who violates the code of conduct risks the further participation of the child in the program. The procedure is as follows:

  1. Any fan who violates the code of conduct or becomes a nuisance will be asked to leave by the head coach and can be suspended from all team activities.
  2. If the fan fails to leave upon request, the child may be suspended from further participation in team activities by the head coach.
  3. The head coach along with the executive board will decide if the duration of the suspension is to be longer than one to four weeks or if the child will be dropped from the program. That decision will depend on the attitude of the parents.
  4. Any parent or fan who violates the code of conduct risks the future participation of his/her children in the program. Depending on the severity of the incident the board of directors may decide to ban future participation in the program for up to three years.
