St. Raphael Football, Inc. 7th Grade High School Development League

Open to all current St Raphael players who will be entering 7th grade.

Tentative check-in: July 24-27. 4 days per week for 3-4 weeks until Jr. High programs start. Practice will then be one day a week so as to not interfere with the JR programs. May be able to increase to two practices depending on how many players are in both programs.

Games will start on Saturday Sept 5th and continue for 8 weeks. They will be played on Saturdays and evenings similar to the in-house league at Commissioner's Park, grade schools, and high school fields as available.

Teams will be formed by high school district. Each team will have about 24 players.

Striper rules, will apply and must play rules similar to in-house will apply. Teams will play IHSA rules adjusted to league needs. There may be more than one team per district. If so, the two teams will be balanced. Mixing grade schools will be preferable to keeping JM teams together.

7th grade teams from St Raphael travel (ASA, PP, St Joan, and St Raphael) could be included in the clinic game scheduling. Travel teams could play both.

To register, fill out the SRF application on the website. Make sure to list the High School you child plans on attending.

$100 per player, same as in-house.
