Due to the nature and location of this event, we are expecting these young men to be on their best behavior. If you feel your young man is not able to meet these expectations or have concerns, please discuss with me asap. We want everyone to feel safe and know how much they are loved. While we are not anticipating any issues, we will contact the youths DCS worker or foster parent to pick up the young man if his behavior is not acceptable.

We take privacy seriously. We will be taking pictures of the event to share with our sponsors, board members and some selected pictures on our social media channels. Names will not be shared. If you have denied media use during registration, we will ensure they will not be included in media photos. However, if your youth wants to take their own photos with Coach Vrabel or at the event, we leave that choice to them.
