Does anyone host alumni football games at their school? Do these do anything as far as a descent fund raiser?
How do you work out all the particulars?

We did this a few years ago. Raised enough money to start a little league football program. The old timers got bored with it after a couple of years so it no longer takes place. We still use the revenue we created in our fundraising account from those games.

Isn't there some insurance issues? who has the equipment, cash, etc.? Sorry, I've just never heard of this one before and I have a lot of logistical questions of how everything works. |

I played in one several years ago
don't know the particulars of insurance and all that
we used the schools equipment
it was fun, but I was younger then
hell, I'd probably do it again though

How do the teams prepare? Are there any practices?
Always thought it would be fun to do...we have a group of guys from a team 20 years ago who were 1 game away from playing for a state title and those guys are really competitive. I played some Sunday league rec-time basketball with these guys and they approached the game in much the same manner as the 5th Marine Division approached Iwo Jima! ;D It was BRUTAL!
Anyway, always thought an alumni game would be a lot of fun.

Used to have one at the school Im at now. It used to be the "odd" years vs. the "even" years of their graduation. They had it until a guy that was like 45 playing in the game broke his neck.

We had full contact. Each guy had to sign a waiver. The HS provided all of the equipment. Funny thing, we asked for a few doctors to help out with the event...none of them wanted anything to do with it (I agreed with their hesistations). Each team had a Friday night practice and two on Saturday. By the time the Sunday afternoon game rolled around, most of the "old-timers" were wore out and couldn't play most of the game. Funny to watch the "Young Guys" with cocky attitudes get it their butts handed to some guys in their 30s...
