Anyone interested in playing should print one off and mail it in as soon as possible so draft camps and league planning can take place.

Coaches needed for OHYFL

Want to have some fun this fall teaching young players the ins-and-outs of football?

The Oak Harbor Youth Football League is in need of coaches for the fall season.

Right now, there is an opening for a Pee-Wee coach for players 6 to 8, and also for a junior coach players 11 and 12. Anyone interested in helping out should call league president Mark Schroeder at 632-8416.

The league will probably be adding a senior team as well, so there could be the need for another coach for 13 and 14-year-old players.
