New Year letter

Hello KGK Families!

We trust that you had a great Holiday season and are off to a fresh start in 2025!

The last time we talked, KGK had suspended the 2024 season due to a registration enrollment that was around 47% of our desired end target number as of July 1st. That gap was too large in our opinion to push for the remaining numbers we needed to execute a fruitful season in the remaining 2 months of registration. We did not take the decision of suspending the season lightly and we listened and watched what unfolded. Some children enrolled with CBYF, some played Middle School sports only, and some took up altogether different sports. But, the majority of our past KGK participants did not participate in football or cheer at all. This is what we were afraid of, and we hope this turns around.

This is where you come in. If the community wants KGK to continue to offer the services that we provide, then it will need people willing to volunteer on KGK’s board to make it happen. A vocal minority were not pleased with how past boards handled disciplinary matters or future roadmaps for the league. This is an opportunity to start fresh and new. Every single board position is up for discussion. Every. Single. One. We have some previous board members that are willing to help transition and assist new board members and head coaches. Where we go from here is up to the community.

But there is a catch. Time is of the essence. In the next month, we need to see inquiries from people like you willing to step up. Even if you don’t know what it involves yet, we would love to talk with you and answer any questions you may have on what it takes to be a board member or coach in KGK. The quicker a new board is put in place, the more time that board has to make any changes before enrollment for the new season starts.

We want to see these children back out and doing what they love. Too many were left on the sidelines last fall. Let’s not turn our backs on them just yet. Will you help to make their next season the greatest yet?

 

 

Deadline for new position nominations is February 14th, 2025. Elections to be held February 15th, 2025 at the board meeting.

 

Please email any questions or nominations to president@kgkfootball.com or secretary@kgkfootball.com.

Happy New Year,

Your KGK Family
