Event Details
*Email excerpt(s) below:*******************************
Event Name: Pop Warner Football Tournament, hosted by Forever Life Achievers this event will host football teams from 5U - 14U.
Requested Dates: November 16-17th. Potential final tournament on December 21st we can discuss and decide on this after we access the success of the first event.
Custodians: I will be emailing Scott, to confirm that we can have an active janitor while this event is taking place, this will ensure that the bathrooms and concession area is constantly cleaned and also to ensure that our bleachers area is cleaned each day as well.
Number of Spectators Expected: In total the organization is expecting 300-400 participants. This will not all be at once but staggard throughout the day as different teams play. I have informed the organization that we only have one side of bleachers, it is normed that most fans bring yard/lawn chairs so I believe we should be more than able to accommodate seating wise.
Security Requirements: Forever Life Achievers will provide JSO security. I will receive a follow up email to confirm the total number of officers. They will also provide and do metal detector checks as fans enter the campus.
Concession Stands: KIPP Jacksonville will receive 100% of the profit from concessions stand. I will go to Sams on Thursday November 14th to purchase enough to last us for both days. All sells will be cashless and go through Go-Fan, we can also present the idea of cash, and have it turned into finance Monday. This is optional Wilkinson; I will let you make the final call. I also spoke with Coach Jordan, and we may have a KIPP Parent who can grill hot food such as hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken. This will be confirmed with Coach Jordan as soon as possible. Coach Jordan has also confirmed that football players will be able to run the concession stand and will do shifts.
Access to the Field: The only individuals with field access will be Coach Jordan, Coach Jordan football staff, Bold City High Football Players, and each pop warner team and respective coaches. No parents, fans, or spectators will be allowed on the field at any time.
Marketing and Promotional Opportunity: I believe this event provides an excellent platform to promote KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools and Bold City High School within the community. It’s a chance to showcase our facilities and further establish our presence in the area. We will have our fans that we gave out during football season available for families who submit their email and sign up for our mailing list.
Sound Booth: The football Team Managers will manage the sound booth, after speaking with the organization they will have an official for score board, play clock, and MC-ing the game. However, our managers will monitor use of equipment and make sure our visitors are following guidelines.
Showcasing Bold City Sports: This event allows us to showcase the sports we have available at Bold City High School. I'm excited to see the benefit this can potentially have.
