What it says it does

OUR PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE A YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAM FOR FOOTBALL & CHEERLEADING. THE CHILDREN ARE NOT ONLY TAUGHT TO PLAY THE SPORTS, BUT THE VALUE OF TEAMWORK, SPORTSMANSHIP, VOLUNTEERISM, AND TOLERANCE FOR PLAYERS WHO MAY BE LESS SKILLED THAN OTHERS. OUR ORGANIZATION IS STAFFED ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS, AND DISCRIMINATION OF ANY KIND IS NOT TOLERATED. WE GIVE THE CHILDREN A HEALTHY, SUPERVISED ACTIVITY TO OCCUPY THEIR TIME AND ENERGY, THEREBY HELPING THE COMMUNITY TO CONTROL POSSIBLE DELINQUENT ACTIVITIES.

Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
