Dear Wolverines Family

I am excited to tell you that we have been contacted by multiple organizations regarding league affiliation. There are other options that are receiving consideration as well. We are currently in the process of evaluating all of these opportunities individually in order to clearly identify the pros and cons of each. Our intent is to narrow the list of possibilities to the best three and then to reach out to our parents for input prior to a final decision.

NO DECISION WILL BE MADE WITHOUT FIRST RECEIVING YOUR INPUT.

Our board of directors met last night to continue to work on plans for 2012 and beyond. Each board member committed to meet as often as needed with an objective of solidifying our 2012 plans. As a group we agreed to the following key points:

• We will make all critical decisions as a program, i.e. we will seek input from our parents, current players and alumni before any final decisions are made.
• We will provide regular updates to our entire program via our website and Facebook (minimum once per week).
• We will not make any decision without first asking ourselves “Is this the best decision for the kids in our program”.
• We will learn from our mistakes to make certain that our program is even stronger in the future.

Many of you have asked about Please Valley Park. As well you should since so many of you have donated your own personal resources and time to make the park what it is today. Together, and in harmony with the City, we have now maintained and improved Pleasant Valley Park for more than twelve years. Our goal is to secure a location to host our football teams and cheerleading squads in the very near future and, to that end, we are considering several options in order to make a final recommendation to our stakeholders.

Finally, regarding the NSYFL, we ask that our parents remain positive in their comments regarding the league. The NSYFL has provided a place for young children to play football for a number of years. There are exceptional children and families that are associated with the league and they deserve our utmost respect.

This is an exciting and prosperous time for the Wolverines program. Never has interest in the Missouri Wolverines been higher from players and parents and for that we are certainly blessed.

Please feel free to reach out to any board member at any time if you have questions. Rest assured that if you have a specific question then there are likely others that have the same question. We will share all questions and answers via our media assets to keep everyone as plugged in as possible.
