Why Should My Child Play for the Modesto Rams?
The Rams teach more than football and cheer. We teach achievement through teamwork, sportsmanship,self-
confidence and family. It is our goal to give every child the opportunity to be part of an organization which
helps them become quality young men and women.  Our children learn the value of contributing toward a
common goal while building friendships and skills that will last a life time. The Rams measure success not by
wins and losses, but by smiles and spirit.

Will My Child get to Play/Cheer in Every Game?
Yes!  Our league sets a minimum play requirement for all children.  We do not hold tryouts and are committed
to developing EVERY child.  As long as a player/cheerleader attends practice during the week he/she will
participate in every game.

Will There Be Extensive Travel?
No, our league consists of local teams.  We will play 7 of our 10 games in Modesto and the other 3 games
within 30 minutes from your front door.

Where and When are Practices Held?
We practice at Downey Park from 5:30-7:30 Monday through Friday July 27, 2009 to August 21st.  When the
season starts we practice Tuesday-Thursday with 1 hour on Friday and games on Saturday.

Are the Coaches Qualified?
All coaches are required to submit finger prints to the Department of Justice, interview with board members,
have a current first aid/CPR card, attend league mandated coaching classes and provide extensive
background information. Our coaches meet monthly, year-round, to go over philosophy and improve their
knowledge of the game.

Are the Rams Competitive?
While building character and discipline is our top priority, the Rams strive to finish among the top teams in
our league and have won multiple championships over the four decades the Rams have been in existence.  
Our organization takes great pride in helping children win, but our greatest joy is seeing kids having fun and
learning.
