Multi-Sport Players: TRC Football is not able to coordinate practice and game times with the schedules of sports programs, including other TRC programs; the puzzle is simply too complicated. We thank you for your understanding.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Welcome to the Towson Triumph Youth Football Page for 8U, 9U, 10U and 12U! The Towson Triumph football program was created to inspire youth, bringing them closer together through the means of common interest in sportsmanship and fair play, imparting the game elements of safety and intelligent supervision, and keeping the welfare of the player first and foremost. With our experienced coaches, we're committed to helping your child succeed both on and off the field. We participate in the Upper Chesapeake Youth Football League (UCYFL), which allows us to travel and compete against teams in Baltimore County, Harford County and Cecil County. Our home fields are located centrally at Towson High School and Meadowood Regional Park.

Our Purpose:

To acquaint the players with the fundamentals of game rules, running, kicking, blocking and tackling.
To teach (through the game) sportsmanship, love of the game and discipline.
To promote safe play throughout all divisions of play.

Our Objective:

To provide a wholesome, enjoyable experience while teaching the basic fundamentals of the game, teamwork, good sportsmanship, discipline and response to leadership.
To encourage the players to maintain satisfactory grades in school and to emphasize the importance of keeping a proper relationship and balance between scholastic and athletic endeavors.
To provide a satisfying, rewarding experience for coaches, sponsors and those persons administering the program through their relationships in teaching and working with youth.
To provide a well-organized and implemented program that is appreciated and favorably received by the parents of the community.

All persons involved with the Towson Recreation Council must adhere to the following Code of Conduct. I understand that failure to adhere to the Code of Conduct will result in ejection from the program and possible ejection from all TRC programs.

I agree to abide by the rules, guidelines, and decisions of the program director, administrators, and coaches.

I will respect the rights, dignity, and worth of every person regardless of their gender, sex, ability, cultural background, or religion.

Parents will send their players to practices and games with the required equipment, and on time. Players and parents will notify coaches if they must miss a practice or a game.
Parents will not intentionally misrepresent a player’s age or ability at any time.
I will report to the coach all injuries, special medical conditions (such as asthma) or extenuating circumstances (such as lack of sleep or family crisis) that may affect the player.
I will be a positive role model for all players, parents, and coaches.

BECOME A SPONSOR

How to Support the Triumph!

A successful football program requires dedicated volunteers for all aspects of the program. While the program has no shortage of volunteers, a football program is also dependent on having adequate funds to service the program. Some of the needs are necessary to maintain the program, others create opportunities for growth. Towson Triumph football seeks to fund these activities:

1. Purchase a portable, electronic LED scoreboard ($4,000)

2. Market spirit wear, such as shirts, hats, and hoodies, to promote visibility of the program ($1,500)

3. Upgrade and replace old equipment ($2,000)

4. Fund end-of-season events to recognize the players ($2,200)

Recognition Opportunities

All sponsors will be recognized on the Triumph Football program page of www.towsonrec.com. The website receives over 10,000 hits per season from both TRC participants as well as participants from other programs.
Sponsors are invited to provide a banner to be displayed at Meadowood Regional Park during each of our home games. Each game provides visibility not only to the 600+ football fans, but to visitors to the park as well. Additionally, we can professionally design your banner at no additional cost. Banners are available in four sizes.
Sponsors may be recognized in other ways as well—from concession sign menu boards, to player programs, to team water bottles—please let us know how you would like to be acknowledged!
And of course, your donation is 100% tax deductible.
