The Rumble Bees represent our Tiny Mites Division, which includes athletes 5-7 years old.
The intent of this new level of play is to allow younger children who have previously not been old enough to play tackle football an opportunity to learn the basics of tackle football in a non-competitive, instructional environment. Like all other Novato Youth Football players, participants will be issued a full set of gear including helmet, shoulder pads and leg pads and each player will be responsible for their own practice jersey, practice pants and girdle.
The team name will be the "Rumble Bees." With a primary focus on training, the Rumble Bees coaching staff will not focus on weekly games. Instead, they will focus on teaching players the fundamentals of both offensive and defensive tackle football and while there may be opportunities players for the Rumble Bees to scrimmage teams from other towns, instructional guidance will be the primary focus of the program. In keeping with the younger age group, practice times and frequency will be reduced relative to Novato Youth Football's older, competitive programs. Siimilarly, prices are reduced to $200 and there are no additional jersey costs involved.
If you and your child have an interest in this program, please contact Dave Arndt, Rumble Bees Head Coach at 415 798 4542 or davethecoach@comcast.net for more details.
