Titans gear up for 2003 season

Organizers with the Warren County Titans Youth Football League will be holding sign-ups for any boys and girls ages 7 through 14 who want to play on one of their traveling squads this season.

Sign-ups will be held at the field behind Bobby Ray Elementary School today from 5-8 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. until noon. Make-up registration will be on the following weekend at the same times, but anyone can register their child until the last week of August.

There is a registration fee of $35, and players will need to provide a copy of their birth certificate.

The teams are made up as follows: 7- and 8-year-olds, 9- and 10-year-olds, 11- and 12-year-olds, and a 13- and 14-year-old varsity group.

The schedule consists of eight games, with only four of them being out of town. This year the Titans will play their home games at Bobby Ray.

The Titans league was formed in 2001 by a group of concerned parents and coaches who wanted to help revive interest in Warren County’s football program. By offering kids a different and more competitive experience in football that was previously available to them, organizers hoped to get more players back into the game at the youth level.

Warren County’s teams belong to the largest youth football organization in Tennessee, a fact that organizers say affords their league the benefit of a well-funded and properly run program.

The Titans’ board of directors consists of president Pat Moran, vice-president John Turner, treasurer Terri Turner, secretary Rhonda Moran, athletic director Hal Mayfield and commissioners Chuck Cantrell, Mark Browning and Steve Daniels.

Anyone interested in the Titans and their program can call 668-2304, 668-4230, 934-2692, 657-3075 or 563-4624.
