We hope you and your families are remaining safe and healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our main concern during this time is, as always, the health and safety of our Pioneer community. We understand that in times of distress there are many obstacles we are facing. The Pioneers will be extending the early bird registration discount until April 15th, 2020. Per River Valley Youth Tackle Football League rules, once a tackle football team reaches 44 players, there will be a wait list started at that level.
When registering, please remember to update your child's current weight. Jersey's are ordered in April, and to ensure your child gets the proper size, we need his updated weight.

A Best Friend Partnership On and Off the Field
By Pat Z. McGavin
Only connect, the writer E.M. Forster famously asserted. Those connections take different forms and shapes, at once random and peculiar and yet somehow always of a piece. About three hundred miles separate the hometowns of John Stefanos and Mark Mikesell. Their lives and careers became entwined through a curious blend of fate, circumstance and chance.
