THANK YOU!!! I would like to thank all of the Jayhawk families that were able to volunteer this season to coach, work concessions, donate soda/Gatorade, paint the field and help with the clock & chains at our home games. It takes a lot of people to make this program work and we couldn't do it without you. A special THANK YOU to Dan Snell and his year long commitment to the Jayhawks. His countless hours are truly appreciated and we wouldn't have had the successful year we all had without him. - Jackie Buehler

THANK YOU! A huge THANK YOU to Coach Brian Ruffing and Wausau Homes for the donation of cabinets for our concession stand. They are a great addition & are truly appreciated.

THANK YOU! Thank you to former Jayhawk Mom Kim Dauer for the concession stand menu board.

THANK YOU! Thanks to former Jayhawk Mom Denise Warzon and the donations you continue to give to the program. I am lost without you this year...

For those who are new to the program - welcome!

Here is some information for the upcoming season...

When are practices? Practice will start in August and run Monday-Friday from 5pm-7:30pm at Marcy School. After Labor Day, practice will be Tuesday-Thursday from 5pm-7pm. Please make sure that you provide a water bottle for you child. The players will practice in all weather conditions with the exception of lightening.

When are games played? Games are played on Saturdays and game times vary depending on where the team is playing. The players are split into two teams - purple & gold. Most times the 6th grade team will play at noon and the 5th grade at 1:30. (Note to 5th grade parents - games run behind so sometimes you could start later). Schedules are subject to change and all changes will be posted on the home page of the website. You are responsible to get your child to the games. Maps will be posted on the website.

When are the teams split? The 5th graders will practice the first two weeks together and will be evaluated by the coaching staff. The coaches will divide the teams evenly.

Health History Form: Each participant in the Jayhawks program MUST complete a health history form that needs to be signed by a physician. Any player that does not have this turned in before the first practice in August will not be allowed to practice until it is completed. Forms are located under the handouts section of the website.
Note: Physicals are good for two years so if your son was in last year for a physical you only need to drop off the form to have your physcian sign off that he is eligible to play.
