“GET YOUR GAME ONE; YOU’RE AN ALL-STAR!!!  FINAL DETAILS/REMINDERS FOR THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FOOTBALL LEAGUE’S BEST PLAYERS OF 2006

GARLAND, UTAH – In 2005, All-Star festivities got a little more "festive" with the first ever "Strongest Man” and “Strongest Arm" competition held immediately before the game as well as the second year of the “Fastest Man” race.

It was a rousing success.

NOTE: Champions to beat:  Shane Jurasek, Strongest Arm; Matt Shoda, Strongest Man; Brandon Reed, Fastest Man…will all be there to defend their title.

Once again, the big social event of the year in the Rocky Mountain Football League will pit the league’s top players… playing on the same side; but will also have the big three pre-game competitions, open to ALL RMFL players as well as the half time awards presentations that will award the top performers statisticly through the season as well as the Most valuable players of all of the several divisions and conferences as voted on by the players.

“I think that the league likes to know who its ‘fastest man’ is AND who is the strongest and which passer can gun it the deepest,” RMFL Commissioner, Jared Neumeier said, “these competitions are scheduled at a time when the all-stars will have finished their pre-game preparations and should be resting up… for the most part anyway.”

The Fastest Man competition will be one or potentially two 50-yard dash heats with a final pitting the 6 fastest for the overall best (depending upon how many competitors). The strongest man competition will be which player can do the most repetitions of a 225-lb bench press and the strongest arm will be a longest throw competition in which each contestant will get two throws, with yards deducted for yards away from the line, so accuracy will be part of the competition. A trophy will be awarded for each winner and the results of each competition will be posted to the web site on the following Sunday as well, for those not able to attend the game. ALL league players are welcome to come to the game, join the field and enter this competition, not just the All-Stars. The requirement, however, will be to wear the jersey of the team you play on and report on the field your name and team. "I think it will be a fun event and I know everyone will be curious as to who wins these events," Neumeier added.

Also, as a final reminder to ALL All-Star players. Pick up your game jersey by the locker rooms and be on the field and ready by 3:00 p.m. BRING YOUR BEST WHITE FOOTBALL PANTS (if you have white pants, otherwise the lightest color pants you have).

IF YOU DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE GAME, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A JERSEY. THE JERSEY IS NOT A REWARD FOR MAKING THE TEAM, BUT PART OF THE GAME UNIFORM OF THE DAY AND A SOUVENIR OF YOUR 2006 ALL-STAR EXPERIENCE. JERSEYS HAVE ALREADY BEEN PRINTED WITH YOUR NAME ON THE BACK. PLEASE BE THERE TO SUPPORT YOUR FELLOW PLAYERS AND ENJOY MEETING ALL OF THE OTHER STAR PLAYERS FROM AROUND THE LEAGUE.

WHAT EVERY ALL-STAR NEEDS TO KNOW:

  • Game is at Bear River High School (Garland, Utah; south of Tremonton) on Saturday, July 15th
  • Take exit 381 east off  I-15 north of Tremonton (coming in from Boise/Twin Falls, need to take I-15 north off the I-84/I-15 junction)  The school will be about ½ to 1 mile on the right.
  • BE THERE BY 2:30 P.M. SO YOU CAN BE DRESSED AND READY TO WORKOUT AT 3:00 P.M. ON THE FIELD. Jerseys will be issued and worn for workouts (no shoulder pads for workout; helmets at coaches option, however most coaches will not require). Your jerseys will help coaches identify you. COMMITMENT TO PLAY IN THIS GAME, INCLUDED COMMITMENT TO BE THERE AND READY BY 3:00 P.M. IF YOU CANNOT BE THERE BY THE TIME PLAYERS ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT, LET THE LEAGUE OR YOUR GM KNOW SO THAT WE CAN FIND A REPLACEMENT FOR YOU.
  • Coaches will have guidelines for playing time (EQUAL time for all players) that will include starting the first players that are ready for practice. Just allow plenty of time, show respect for your fellow players and be there in plenty of time to be ready to become familiar with your all-star teammates and coaches.
  • BRING WHITE PANTS. Even worn, white practice pants (cleaned) will look better with the all-star jerseys than a bunch of different colors, especially if everyone has them. Different colored helmets are obviously expected and allows you to display your team representation. If you don't have white pants, try to borrow them, or buy a pair (usually, only about $10).
  • Coaching staffs will need to provide tape and footballs, etc. from their team's equipment store, however, you may wish to bring your own tape and/or balls.  Water is being supplied by the host team, the Bear River Valley Rockets. Thanks!!!!.
  • Game will begin at 6:15 p.m. There will be a small gate fee for adults that goes to the school that is allowing us to hold the event. Please make your family and friends, etc. aware that this is just part of the cost of holding these events.
  • Competitions will be held between 5:10 p.m. and 5:40 p.m. on the field.
  • Pre-game ceremonies and complete team player introductions will begin at 5:55 p.m.
  • Halftime is extended by 20 minutes for awards presentations. All individual awards, including the MVP awards will be presented at this time for the 2006 season. If you may win an award, and you will not be there, try to designate a person to accept on your behalf, otherwise, one will be appointed for you.
