2019 MIDDLE SCHOOL BOWL GAME SERIES
MIDDLE SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOL Dear Athletes and Families, Congratulations on being selected to participate in USA Football’s 2019 U.S. National Team Middle School Bowl Game Series! The event is hosted at Walsh University and the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium from Tuesday, June 25th through Saturday, June 29th. As we prepare for the Ohio Bowl Game Series, this will serve as your confirmation packet, providing you and your family with information to properly prepare for the week. Please read the entire packet carefully before contacting USA Football with questions. If you have questions after reading the entire packet, contact ohiomsbg@usafootball.com or 609-662-4495. As the national governing body of the sport, USA Football events are part of the official U.S. National Team program. The Middle School Bowl Games are not considered an all-star event by the NCAA or National Federation of State High School Associations. As U.S. National Team participants are selected based on talent and character, it is each athlete’s responsibility to ensure that he is in compliance with his own state association’s rules and regulations. Over the course of the event, each athlete will compete in a scrimmage and a live-contact modified game. Players will also be educated in USA Football’s comprehensive player health and safety program, Heads Up Football. We look forward to hosting a great week of football with you, and wish you great success in all your football endeavors. Best Regards, Aaron Ingram U.S. National Teams Manager, USA Football
