Play It Forward Assistance Fund

We would like to recognize one special Jr. Comet who is currently in the 6th grade and has taken the football and life lessons they have acquired from their time with the Jr. Comets and will carry them on to the Jr. High by paying for their 2020/2021 School Year Pay to Play Fee ($400 value). We believe that football is more than just a game; it is a life lesson on hard work, discipline, sportsmanship and community pride. This is our opportunity as an organization to recognize the student athlete who best exemplifies these traits.

Over the next few weeks we will be collecting hand written letters from eligible students. The winner will be announced at our Year End Banquet on Sun. November 3, 2019.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Must be a current year (2019/2020) 6th grade student playing for the Amherst Jr. Comets.
  • Minimum of 4 years spent in the Amherst Jr. Comets or Amherst Youth Football programs.
  • Letter must be hand written detailing some of the following:
    • How their time in the Jr. Comets program prepared them for Jr High football.
    • Non- football life lessons learned during their time with the Jr. Comets.
    • How they see themselves as a leader or steward of Amherst community.

Letters are due to Coach Dowell or Coach Leibacher to be turned into the Board for review no later than Sunday, October 27, 2019.

We believe that it is our duty as a community organization to find a way to give back to the community that has supported us year in and year out and hope that you do too.
