Johnson County Complete Football asks school board to allow use of Field House and practice fields
Summary
Johnson County Complete Football requested permission to use the district Field House, track and adjacent fields for practices and games starting July 31 and outlined a practice and game schedule; the transcript does not record a board decision.
Misty Filby, representing Johnson County Complete Football, asked the Johnson County School Board for permission to use the district Field House, the track area and surrounding fields for the youth football program’s practices and home games beginning July 31.
Filby told the board the program runs practices three days a week during the summer (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) and reduces to two days a week (Tuesday and Thursday) once school begins. She said the program typically schedules about four to five home games per season and fields multiple age groups, including a “Mighty Mites” 4-to-6 age group and 7-to-8 teams (the “grass cutters”). Filby said the program had two teams last season and reported league championships for both age-group divisions.
The request included use of storage equipment in the Field House to support practices and games. Filby said the program coordinates with school coaches (noting they normally work with “coach Atwood’s place”) and that the organization holds liability insurance. She described practice locations (track field for football, grassy areas used for cheer) and proposed layouts for games and practices.
The transcript records Filby’s request and planning details but does not record a formal board motion or vote granting permission. Outcome: not specified in the transcript.
Board members and staff discussed scheduling coordination and ensuring no conflicts with school activities; the transcript does not record any formal conditions or approvals attached to the request.
If the board issues permission later, the program’s stated schedule is: begin practices July 31, three days/week in summer, two days/week during the school year, and an expected average of four to five home games per season. The program asked the district to permit use of storage equipment in the Field House and to coordinate access with the school’s coaches and athletics schedule.
The board meeting included other items (graduation planning, grant projects) not directly tied to this request.
