Our flag divsion provides young
players a fun and exciting opportunity
to engage in non-contact, continuous
action while learning lessons in
teamwork.
The program is designed to educate
young people about football while
emphasizing participation and
sportsmanship. Players learn skills
and lessons that help them succeed
both on and off the field.
Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."

MUSTANGS PRIDE
I am a member of a team, and I rely on my team. The name on the FRONT of my
jersey means more to me than the name on the back. I defer to it and I sacrifice
for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.
I will go through hell and high water for and with my squad!!

Returning to play safely for our off-season non-contact skills and conditioning training
Dear Mustangs Families,
We are excited to announce that the Town of Oyster Park's commissioner, Joe Pinto, worked on our behalf to get approval from the Town to allow use of town fields for our non-contact skills and conditioning off-season training. We hope this is just the first step in our path to starting our season up in August.
It's very important that we return to the fields in a safe and responsible manner. If we do not, the fields will likely get shut down again. If you plan to bring your child to one of our off-season training sessions - you must:
Ensure your child is registered for the upcoming season. Unregistered players will not be allowed to participate. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
Read, print and sign the attached guidelines and waiver. Hand the completed form to your coach at the first training session you attend. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FORM - Massapequa Mustangs - Non-contact Skills and Conditioning Guidelines & Waiver.pdf
We will be working with our Coaching staffs to schedule and communicate training sessions by Age Group. Please keep an eye out for communication from your age group coordinator. We will be starting with the 8 to 13-year-olds. We expect the optional off-season training for 5-7 year olds to pick back up in July and August (as we typically do every year).
As always, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Preparing for the 2020 Football and Cheer season ... Update
We wanted to provide a brief update on some current activities under way as we prepare for the 2020 Youth Football and Cheer season. As we have communicated in the past, we are preparing for a full and regular season. While there is still a lot of uncertainty around us, we are starting to see more normalcy return to our daily routines, which is encouraging.
Here are a few key updates, and a few actions for you to take to help get the season started smoothly once we are given the OK:
FIELDS: We have had positive conversations with the TOB parks officials, and are hopeful that they fields will be open when our permits typically start on August 1st. We will continue to communicate regularly with the Town on this.
CAMP: We have had positive conversations with the directors of Camp Pontiac, related to the 2 night football camp that our Travel 10, 11, 12 and Seniors attend (and Travel 9 attends for a 1/2 day). Once they are given the go-ahead from the State, they will be welcoming group functions - with revised protocols and procedures. We will continue to communicate regularly with them as we lead up to our planned dates of Tuesday 8/18 - Thursday 8/20.
HELMET RECONDITIONING: We will be sending out our Mustangs owned football helmets for 2020 re-conditioning and re-certification. We have assurance from our provider that our helmets will be back by our August 1st start of the season.
A SPECIAL OFFER FOR PLAYERS THAT HAVE THEIR OWN HELMETS - SEND YOUR HELMET OUT WITH THE MUSTANGS HELMETS:
NAERA (National Athletic Equipment Reconditioners Association), NOCSAE (National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment) and helmet manufacturers recommend that Youth Football helmets are re-conditioned and re-certified every other year. If you would like to have your personal helmet re-certified this year - we can send them out with the Mustangs helmets, at a cost of $40 per helmet. To do so, you must drop your child's helmet, and a check for $40 made out to the "Massapequa Mustangs," to 55 Fox Blvd, Massapequa, by end of day FRIDAY, JUNE 12th. Please make sure to LABEL your child's helmet using masking tape and a marker. Please write "PERSONAL" and "YOUR CHILD'S NAME" and put the labels on the outside and inside of the helmet. You can put the helmet and check in a bag, and drop off on the front steps.
REGISTRATION: If you have not done so already, please register your children for football and cheer. You can register for $0 down, and only pay when the season begins (expected to by 8/1). REGISTER ONLINE NOW
As always, please do not hesitate to contact us via email or phone (gc_dietrich@hotmail.com or 917.860.9582) if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Mustangs Football & Cheer ... Register Now for $0
Dear Mustangs Families & Friends:
We hope that you and your families are safe and well during these crazy times. We are sending this message in an effort to be as transparent as possible about the upcoming Fall 2020 Football and Cheer season. To be clear, we are currently planning for a full and regular season. That would mean start dates of August 1st for Travel Football, Mid-to-Late August for Town Football, early September for Full Equipment Flag Football, and cheer leading starting in corresponding times to football.
Obviously, much of the decision behind whether or not we can start on time is outside of our control. At this point there are so many unknowns, and we are playing it day-to-day, and week-to-week. As soon as youth sports in Nassau County are allowed to begin, we will start. If that is before August 1st, we will start back up with our off-season training.
We do need your help so we are ready and prepared. If your child plans to play in the Fall, PLEASE REGISTER ONLINE NOW. You can register now at NO COST, and registration fees will only be collected when the season starts. As has always been the case, consistent with our Mission, we believe that all children should be afforded the opportunity to play football. Any and all requests for financial need scholarships, which can be made when you register online, will be handled discreetly.
We understand that the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has presented many challenges for members of the Mustangs family, including financial difficulties. With all that is going on in the world, I am sure that there are many things that are just not top-of-mind at the moment — registering and paying for your child to play football or cheer in the Fall should not be one of them. Many families are suffering from the loss of loved ones, the loss of income, and general anxieties due to self-isolation. Some families are struggling to make ends meet, and difficult discussions are being made when it comes to the payment of bills, mortgages, etc. The last thing we would want to do is add to that stress by sending messages regarding youth sports registration fees.
Finally, we would like to say thank you to all of the essential workers within our community. We know that the Mustangs family is made up of many Policemen/women, firemen/women, doctors, nurses, other health-care workers, postal workers, truck drivers, teachers and other front-line workers. Thank you for all that you do, and please stay healthy and safe.
Please do not hesitate to contact us via email or phone (gc_dietrich@hotmail.com or 917.860.9582) if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Yours in Football & Cheer, The Massapequa Mustangs Board of Trustees Greg Dietrich, President Bill Cardello, Commissioner John Wozniak, Vice President Tim Gill, Treasurer James Harinski, Secretary Brian Bekiers James Carew Rich Conway Dan Corey Pat Devlin James Haffner Mike Ragusa Wayne Rogers Joseph Gillespie, Emeritus Ron Stehn, Emeritus

MUSTANGS PEP RALLY
To all the Mustangs players, cheerleaders, family and friends:
On Friday, November 15, 2019 at 8pm , immediately following practice, we are bringing back the Pep Rally at Burns Park Gillespie Field. The purpose of a pep rally is to encourage team spirit and provide sports teams and others the chance to honor and celebrate their team in preparation for the upcoming game or event. We celebrate this the weekend of the Playoff and Championship games.
In addition to preparing for the playoff games, we acknowledge the Senior team players and cheerleaders and we have the boys and girls present their parents with a rose/flower to show their appreciation for all the years of sacrifice taking them to and from practices and games and being part of the Mustangs family.
The event is open to all teams in the organization. Your coach or team moms will coordinate for your teams. Teams can start setting up tables around the outside perimeter of the field prior to 8pm. There are no assigned areas, so first come, first served. Each team will bring their own tables, food, drinks., etc.
We ask that each player and cheerleader bring at least 2 non perishable items that night for our Mustangs Tackle Hunger program. We will collect them and store them in the sugar shack.
There will be a DJ for added fun!!
We have always had a great time in years past. It might be a little chilly, so dress accordingly.
If anyone has any questions, please contact Tara Tarasi at (516) 317-4526.

‼️MUSTANGS TACKLE HUNGER FOOD DRIVE ‼️
Dear Moms and Dads,
As those of you who have been a part of the Massapequa Mustang Family for a few years know, we have performed a Community Service at this time of the year with our “Mustangs Tackle Hunger” campaign. For many years we have been working with our local food pantries to try to provide food for the Thanksgiving holiday to needy families. Through our efforts in past food drives our players and cheerleaders were able to fill the St. Rose, St. William, St. Martin, YES Community Counseling and the Nassau County Veterans Outreach food pantries!
As many of you already know, the Food Pantries on Long Island are once again at historic lows. This year, we would once again like to try and help fill those pantries with our “Food Pantry Blitz”. What we are asking members of the Mustang Family to do will take little time and effort, but has the potential to make a huge impact on the food pantry inventory levels.
Two documents are attached to this letter: one is the flyer announcing the Food Drive that we are about to begin and the other is a “Thank You” note to those that contribute. Print 5 copies of the Food Drive flyers and cut them in half so that you have at least 10 flyers. The flyer asks your neighbors to place a food donation on their front porch on Saturday, October 26, at a time designated by you. We are asking you to have your child drop these in your neighbors’ mailboxes on Saturday October 19 & Sunday October 20. There is no knocking on doors required – just place the flyer in the mailbox. We would then ask that on Saturday October 26, after the designated time, you assist your child in collecting the food donations and then drop them off at the Mustang Equipment Building in the rear of John Burns Park between 1pm and 4pm. Again, there is no knocking on doors. There’s either a food donation or not. Print 2 copies of the “Thank You” flyer and cut them into five parts and leave one in the mailbox of each person who leaves food.
This has the potential to bring in an incredible amount of food for those less fortunate individuals who are living in our community.
Here are some key points:
1) Have your child drop the flyers in your neighbors’ mailboxes on 10/19 & 10/20. 2) Remember - No knocking on doors is required and AT NO TIME SHOULD A PLAYER OR CHEERLEADER ENTER A NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE. 3) There are two blank lines on the flyer. If you place your family name and street address there, your neighbors may be more apt to participate knowing this request came from a local family. 4) Be sure to put down the pick-up time on the flyer. 5) Be sure to leave a “Thank You” when you pick up the food. 6) Drop off the food at Burns Park between 1pm and 4pm on Saturday 10/26.
Please do not underestimate the generosity of your neighbors! Many people are looking for ways to help out during this time of year but don’t know how. You and your family will be giving them an opportunity to help.
We hope you would agree that this is a pretty painless way to get our kids involved in a worthwhile project – with your help, of course! Thank you in advance for your participation.
As always, thank you for your support!
Sincerely, Jim Harinski Massapequa Mustangs

Saturday September 19, 2020 11:21 am Mustangs Flag Football Opening Day Part 2
Saturday September 19, 2020 11:10 am Mustangs Flag Football Opening Weekend
Sunday September 13, 2020 11:05 am One of my friends asked "Why do you pay so much money for your kids to do all their sports”? Well I have a confession to make; I don't pay for my kids to to do sports. Personally, I couldn't care less about what sport they do.
So, if I am not paying for sports what am I paying for?
- I pay for those moments when my kids become so tired they want to quit but don't.
- I pay for those days when my kids come home from school and are "too tired" to go to their training but they go anyway.
- I pay for my kids to learn to be disciplined, focused and dedicated.
- I pay for my kids to learn to take care of their body and equipment.
- I pay for my kids to learn to work with others and to be good team mates, gracious in defeat and humble in success.
- I pay for my kids to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don't get that placing or title they'd hoped for, but still they go back week after week giving it their best shot.
- I pay for my kids to learn to make and accomplish goals.
- I pay for my kids to respect, not only themselves, but other athletes, officials and coaches.
- I pay for my kids to learn that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight.
- I pay for my kids to be proud of small achievements, and to work towards long term goals.
- I pay for the opportunity my kids have and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of their achievements as I am.
- I pay so that my kids can be out on the field or in the gym instead of in front of a screen...
...I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for sports; I pay for the opportunities that sports provides my kids with to develop attributes that will serve them well throughout their lives and give them the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!

Monday August 31, 2020 7:12 pm Providing some clarity!
To All Mustangs Families:
Although we are still navigating through the confused youth sports guidance coming from the Governor, we wanted to provide details how we will move forward with officially starting our Football and Cheer season. We are very confident that Youth Football in NY will be given the green light to participate in full contact games, and we are planning with that confidence in mind.
The outline below details how each of our programs will progress forward. Given these plans, we will be moving forward with collecting registration fees on Friday, September 4th. As always, feel free to reach out to us with your questions and concerns.
1️⃣ Full Equipment Flag - will definitely be played this year, and there is no uncertainty about it.
⏺ Flag coaches will be meeting next week to divide players up into our five teams (Batman, Iron Man, Spiderman, Hulk and Captain America)
⏺ Once teams are set up, you will be hearing from your Coach about your teams practice schedule and equipment pick up.
⏺We will start our Flag Football games on Saturday 9/19 or Saturday 9/26. More details to come.
2️⃣ Town Football - will definitely be played this year, and there is “little" uncertainty, which should be cleared up by 9/21.
⏺ Town coaches are performing final player evaluations and ratings for the 7/8, 9/10 and JV (11/12 & 13 older/lighter) divisions.
⏺ Town coaches will conduct a draft next week to divide players up into our 4 teams per Division (Army, Navy, Air Force & Marines)
⏺ Once teams are set up, you will be hearing from your Coach about your teams practice schedule and equipment pick up.
⏺ Practices will be held in low-contact format, wearing helmets & shoulder pads only, until we are given the OK from NYS for full contact.
⏺ We will start our Town Football games on Saturday 9/19 or Saturday 9/26. More details to come.
*️⃣ If we do not have the OK from NYS for full contact game play by that time, we will play games in a low-contact format (similar to our full equipment flag format for the younger kids)
3️⃣ Travel Football - will definitely be played this year, and there is “moderate” uncertainty, which should be cleared up by 9/21.
⏺Travel teams have been selected, equipment has been issued, and teams are practicing n low-contact mode.
⏺We will start full-contact scrimmages on or about Saturday 9/19 or Sunday 9/20.
*️⃣If we do not have the OK from NYS for full contact game play by that time, we are considering scrimmaging other NCYFL teams at a field in Teaneck, NJ.
Once NY State gives the go ahead the *️⃣NCYFL will set game schedules.
The President of the NCYFL has assured us that the league will not cancel. Once we are allowed to play, we will play.
4️⃣Cheer - will definitely be played this year
⏺Cheer will go off for all programs in line with the above.
⏺Additional cheer shows, performances and competitive activities will be added to mitigate the low/moderate uncertainty around full contact Football games.
We appreciate your support and flexibility thus far, and ask for your continued flexibility as we move forward. Make no mistake, the safety and best interests of all of the children, volunteers and families is are primary concern as we move forward.
Yours in Football & Cheer,
The Massapequa Mustangs Board of Directors

Monday August 24, 2020 1:02 pm The Governor gave the following statements regarding youth sports today. Unfortunately, there are more questions than answers as he appears to be confusing High School and Youth sports.
➕ on positive side, it appears that we can practice in full contact mode starting now. We will have to confirm this.
➖on the negative side, the message seems to confuse HS and Youth, and contradict previous guidelines. Most of the sports he mentioned (tennis, field hockey, soccer, running, etc) have been allowed at the Youth level since 6/26 or 7/6 as part of the NYS re-opening plans announced on 6/26.
➖And the additional comment about “travel” for practice and games until October 19, is also meant to be just for school sports. If you apply that to Youth sports, then all of the out of state travel baseball and lacrosse that has been going on since 7/6 is now not allowed.
