Dear Parents and Coaches,

T-Birds lets lead by example. The number one thing you can do to keep your neighborhood and the park we use is to keep it clean and sets a litter-free example for others.

We don’t ask that you clean up after others – if you would like to do that, we thank you – we are just asking that you leave the park the way you found it and clean up after yourself.

Helping out is easy! Some easy ways you can help keep our park clean and beautiful include:

• Please do not litter. 
• Minimizing your own trash. Reduce the amount of waste you bring into our park by using re-usable containers that you can bring home afterward.
• Use the garbage cans located throughout our parks. We have asked the city of El Paso to add more trash cans to help with daily clean ups. 
• Practice pack it in, pack it out. If you bring something with you, take it with you when you leave. That includes food scraps and cigarette butts and plastic water bottles! 

By working together, we can ensure that our parks and open spaces remain clean, safe and beautiful for residents and visitors to enjoy for years to come.

Thank you for doing your part!

C.R. Villalva

Director

By registering your child with the T-Bird Program you are agreeing to abide by this policy.

Our sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren far too often watch many of us forget the real reason for being involved in youth sports. In the Directors opinion, this is reason for a “Zero Tolerance” policy. We must promote fair play, good sportsmanship and teach our children how to play the game. We feel it is everyone’s responsibility to teach the players that there is more to the game than winning or losing and the final score. T-Bird organization takes this responsibility seriously. With that said the following statements will represent our position and more importantly constitute our “Zero Tolerance” policy from this point forward.

1. All persons involved with the T-Bird organization including parents/guardians, players, managers/coaches, shall abide by the Zero Tolerance Policy and all the rules governing the league.

EL PASO, Texas (CBS4) — The high school football season won't just be about blocking and tackling for Jefferson High School football player Miguel Armendariz.

The senior offensive lineman is dedicating the season to his mother, who passed away from a sudden heart attack this past December.

It’s my last season and I’m trying to play my best especially for her because she would always go to my games, my family would always go to my games," Armendariz said. "She was a big supporter, ever since I was a little kid playing Pee Wee football.

But life has really become difficult for Armendariz and his family since the coronavirus pandemic. Their family-owned salon was forced to shut down, his self-employed father has seen business decrease, and his brother got laid-off.

"The income just went to zero in days, so I went and got a job to try and help out," Armendariz said.

He took a job as a landscaper which requires waking-up at 5 a.m. and working in 100-degree temperatures. Football, however, is something he uses as an escape.

“Once you put the pads on, your mind clears out and when you’re playing and you hear the crowds, it’s the greatest feeling ever," Armendariz said. "There’s nothing you can compare it with, it’s my life.”

Amazing season for our 7U had 14 and 0.  13 strong players.  Great coaching super parents and the best 7 year old's in the great state of Texas!  Congratulations boys!!!

Congrats to our 8u players and coaches on winning the Arizona Tournament.  T-Bird Family Proud of you all!!!!

Want to thank all the folks at KOMATUSU for all their help and support.....
