🏈Our little tackle clinic was busy today too with many flag kids coming over to check out some drills, try on some equipment, and get a little taste of what tackle is all about for the fall!🏈

Thank you for a great season, now on to fall preparation! As always, you can email us with any questions at [email protected], or message us on FB.

Parents and Families,

Our FINAL weekend of Spring League football is here. Come on out and watch the flag kids this Sunday at Swan Park before they are off for Summer break!

🔔 Reminder, we will be at the field from 2:00-4:00 doing some fun tackle drills with any flag kids who are thinking of making the transition to tackle football this Fall. We will fit them with helmets, shoulder pads, and run them through some fun drills so they can get a little taste of what tackle will be like. We will even have some tackle kids present to show and teach them what the drills should look like. Whether you are doing Spring League or not, come check it out!

🏈A few fun facts for tackle🏈

1.) At the 3rd/4th level, the tackles are practically bear hugs.

2.) Starting earlier allows for proper teaching of the fundamentals of tackle. From form, tackling technique, and the do's and don'ts on the field. Learning early keeps them safer as they get older.

3.) Practices run for approx. 2 hours 3-4 days per week. This allows for continuous growth and improvement.

4.) Starting earlier allows the kids to find positions that they strive for, and gives them goals to achieve for earning placement.

5.) Builds character, teaches accountability and earning everything, good sportsmanship, and the fundamental importance of each position on the team.

So if you haven't yet, register now! Registration is open till August 1st, but why wait? Take advantage of our early bird discount till June 1st.

Have questions, you can message us on Facebook or email us at [email protected]

Thank you all and hope to see you real soon. Go Dawgs!!

Parents and Families,

We hope your Spring sports are going great! Our Spring League has been off to a great start this season.

🏈Fall Registration is still OPEN!! Register now to save some $$$, the early bird discount is only available till the end of May.

-Sibling discounts will be available till registration closes on August 1st. This will be a HARD close date. Due to uniform ordering deadlines, we will not be accepting any late registrations after this date. So please share with your friends, spread the word, and get registered before then if you plan to play Fall ball.

We have accepted late registrations over the last few years, and unfortunately it has caused some significant issues with getting uniforms and other materials in time for first games.

🌻Spring League parents, we hope these last couple Sundays have been as fun for your children as it has been for us.

🌧Weather has been in our favor so far this season, however, this weekend does look like we may get a bit of rain. We will still hold games in the rain, as long as there is no thunder or lightning. We will be monitoring the weather closely and any decisions on potential game cancellations will be made prior to scheduled games. You will get an email, we will post on FB, and your coach will let you know as a last line of communication.

For any and all information Rocket Football, as well as registration, please visit our website at Vicksburgrocketfootball.com.

You will find everything from rules, codes of conduct, cost, division breakdowns, season dates, equipment info, and much much more!!

Everyone have a fantastic weekend!!

Hello Vicksburg Rocket Families,

We wanted to provide some quick updates since Spring registration closed. Everything is currently being finalized and more information will be coming soon with details on teams, coaches, and more.

In the meantime, Fall registration is OPEN!! Register now and save $$$

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

🌞🌻Spring League

- Games will begin May 3rd and run every Sunday till May 31st Park. No games Memorial Day weekend!

- Practices will NOT be allowed this year! Although some may be available to do optional practices per coaches' discretion, some of the feedback from prior year was to eliminate this to avoid pressure of participation and so kids can focus on their primary Spring sport. So we have! Regardless of availability, we do not want to take away from other Spring sport obligations. So, this will be monitored and enforced. Show up and play, and have some fun!

🏈Tackle Info

*For those interested in doing Tackle Football for Fall but still unsure if it's the right fit, we will be holding a clinic session on May 31st after the games. This is an opportunity for kids to try on tackle equipment, run some drills and hit some dummies as a test run. More details to come soon!

*For all Tackle players for the 2026 season, we plan to hold pre-conditioning week sessions. This will be 2 days for tackle players only. We are doing this so during the full conditioning week, players will wear full pads for drills and do light contact in some drill stations. This will allow for further evaluation by coaches prior to team draft days.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

🏈Equipment Info

*This year we will be doing equipment rentals a bit different moving forward.

- Equipment Rentals will be on a first come first serve basis. You will need to come to Swan Park on our designated equipment fitting days to rent your equipment. Located at the far parking lot where the big green pole barn is.

- Dates will be every Saturday beginning July 11th through August 8th from 8:00am-10:00am. Forms will be available to fill out, and payment will be collected at the time of the rental.

Believe it or not, we have several families who have not yet turned in their equipment after last season. It is imperative that any rented equipment is returned or you will be charged for the cost of replacement per the contract signed at rental. Our rental fees only cover the cost of reconditioning and recertifying the equipment each year, which is extremely important so all equipment meets safety standards for use prior to the season starting. Please reach out to us at [email protected] or Facebook IM to schedule a day/time for collection.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Miscellaneous

* We will be sending out info for Sponsorships soon. If you know of anyone who would like to contribute and become a sponsor, please send them our way.

* We have partnered with ETS Kalamazoo again this year to hold another off-season camp. Details are still being finalized, but we are planning on keeping the camp to grade based divisions and not separating flag from tackle this year. This way all kids will be able to participate and be exposed to a variety of drills regardless of what they'll be playing in the Fall. We will send out more info as details become available.
