Hello from The Providence Chargers and myself Kevin Mulligan.I am checking in as i will be on the boards now that the season is over.I first off would like to see how everyone did and how things went this year.Second i was wondering if anyone found anything with a new defensive set up that worked better than ever as the same with the offense.We will be looking to try new things going into our second season.Third i was wondering if anyone has equipment that they will be replacing and if so please don't forget us.I ask because we deal with inner city children and have limited resources for money to get new equipment and uniforms.If you have a helmet that we might get an extra year or two out of that great as it is cheaper to refurbish a helmet than buy a new one.I will pay the shipping i/we don't expect to get something for nothing.So if there is anything you can do please let me know.We have children from ages 6-14 with the 6-7 playing flag.8 and first year 9 year olds play together,8,9, and 10 can play on the same level,then we have 11 and 12 on the J.V. and 13 and 14 on the Varsity team.We are in Providence Rhode Island and had a good season with what we had to face to get going.We had to turn 10 kids on each level beacuse of equipment that we smply did not have and did not have the money to get.That hurt us alot and we are going to try to make up for that going into our next season,and thats why i am getting started early.So again if you have anything pratice jerseys,pratice pants,hip,thigh,knee,but pads,shoulder pads or maybe even a helmet,please tell us and lets see what we can do.I/we really dont want to have to turn away any children going into our second season.I figure if i start early it will help more as we can send out equipment (so much every week)so we really wont feel the cost.This is all out of pocket as we are non profit and don't have a 501(3)c tax # yet.We will also be working on that to maybe help us find some grants.We are also looking for advice on pratice warm ups,diffrent drills for linemen,lbs,db,rb,qbs, really just any info anyone has time to share.THANKS FOR YOUR TIME READING THIS AND THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP
