Strap on those old cleats. If you ever played football in high school or college, you may have wondered what it would be like to step out on that field one more time.

Well, Gridiron Alumni is granting that wish in a way that will also help raise money for charity. Alumni football is coming to Fountain Hills.

Gridiron Alumni, a national company, is planning several full contact alumni football games in the area. Gridiron Alumni travels the nation pitting old football rivals against each other.

Since its inception in 2010, hundreds of players and thousands of fans swarmed stadiums to watch their hometown heroes strap it on one more time. For those who have wanted to get back out on that field, now is the time.

Players from the local area are invited to register and play. The first 40 players on each team get to play. The team that gets 25 people registered first gets home field advantage. The games are set for the spring and summer.

Gridiron Alumni has all of the equipment needed to play, rents the field and arranges for the officials to make the game special. If you or someone you know is interested in putting on the pads one more time, go to gridironalumni.com to locate your school and register. For questions, call Chris at 530-410-6396.
