INSURANCE
Your registration fee includes secondary insurance coverage for all participants. Should your child sustain an injury while participating in this program, please ask the Secretary to provide you with an “Accident Medical Claims Procedure” form. Since this is secondary insurance only, only after your own medical insurance has participated will this policy then supplement your claim.
SCHOLARSHIP
In 1985 a scholarship program was initiated. Four scholarships are awarded each year to high school graduates who have completed the Hornets program at the eighth grade level, and who meet other eligibility criteria. Scholarship applications may be obtained from the organization and must be submitted to the Hornets on or prior to April 1st of the applicant’s senior year of high school.
All applications are judged by local business owners.
FUNDRAISING
Hornets organization holds one mandatory fundraiser per year.
The 2016 per player cost for fundraising is $50/per player.
Please support the Hornets throughout these various fundraising efforts. We rely on fundraising to supplement our fees and keep the initial registration cost affordable. We take pride in keeping our equipment and uniforms up to date and safe. Fundraising makes this possible.
PARADE DAY
Lemont Hornets participates in the Keepataw Day parade every year. All football players and cheerleaders are welcome to walk in the parade. Organizing this event is a great way to volunteer.
PICTURE DAY
Picture Day is usually scheduled in August before the first game at Lemont High School. Picture order envelopes will be distributed to the players & cheerleaders prior to this date. The envelope will show the date the pictures are to be taken, & the various picture packages that are available, along with the cost. Everyone is to wear your game attire for pictures. After pictures have been taken, please change into usual practice attire.
Team moms will be present on picture day to collect picture envelopes. Whether or not your child is having an individual picture, he/she is expected to be there for the team picture.
