Through some divine guidance, two 8-man youth football teams are forming in Orrick.

Led by Drew Schoeneck, plans are underway to form one team for grades 3-4 and another for grades 5-6.

“If everything continues to go right, we’ll have a cheer squad for each,” said Schoeneck, who’ll also serve as a coach.

Registration for the two teams will conclude Aug. 1, with plans for practices to start that day, Schoeneck said.

“You have to show up Aug. 1, paid in full, with a physical,” he said.

The teams within the youth program will play a sevengame season, slated to start in September and conclude in October.

“We should, as of right now, be hosting three home games,” he said June 12.
