Dear Parents,

Welcome to the 2014 football season! I would like to welcome all of the new players and their families to the St. Gabriel football family. To our returning players and their families I hope you are having a good Summer and are looking forward to another successful year. During this off-season we have purchased new bleachers for our parish football field, we have replaced 10% of our helmet inventory, 70% over the past two seasons and 90% over the past three seasons, allowing our athletes to go into the 2014 season with the safest and most up-to-date equipment possible. The main football field will once again be reseeded for the 2014 season and we are planning equipment and uniform improvements for this seasons play. Attached is a checklist, schedule of events, coaches contact information for the 2014 Football season.

 In 2013 we crowned our first ever Cleveland City Football Champions with our 6th Grade Cadet Team. We are looking forward to seeing more St. Gabriel City Champions in the upcoming season. I thank you in advance for your support in this important ministry and invite all of our parents to become part of our program. Please lend our program your expertise, and help us continue to grow the largest CYO Football program in Northern Ohio. Keep up to date by visiting st-gabrielcyo.org, and your individual teams web-links. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me at edwalsh2@yahoo.com or 440-796-3215.
