Support the Fort Dodge Gridiron Club in 2022!
As a past Fort Dodge Gridiron Club donor, first, we want to say thank you. Your contributions have been instrumental in helping support football in Fort Dodge, not only at the Varsity level, but throughout the Senior High School, Middle School, and Youth Football programs. Your early involvement in our new organization spearheaded several key purchases.
- Guardian Caps for all 9th-12th football players – A soft shell helmet cover engineered for impact reduction, utilized by 200+ colleges, 1,500+ high schools, and 500+ youth programs.
- Alternate red jerseys for the Varsity
- New white away jerseys for the Varsity
- End zone camera
- Six iPads – Used on the sideline of every Varsity game as well as in classroom settings with players during film study.
- Speaker that is utilized every practice and in the locker room on game days
- R4 Offensive Football System – A continuing education system that aids in the implementation of offensive concepts and verbiage through all levels of the football program.
- A custom video played prior to the players entrance to the field
- A custom wrap for an enclosed trailer use to haul equipment and supplies to away games
In Spring 2020, when COVID and its restrictions became our new reality, the focus shifted internally around the Dodger football program. Navigating the challenges of COVID, educating the players and staff, and dealing with last-minute required quarantines became the primary focus. Despite everything going on, the Dodgers found success on the field, finishing the 2020 campaign with a record of 3-4 and a berth in the 2020 Class 4A playoffs. Three of the Dodgers’ four losses came at the hands of teams that made deep playoff runs, including a semifinalist and the would-be State Champion.
Then, in 2021, the landscape changed for the Dodgers. A realignment in high school football led to a new Class 4A with the Dodgers maintaining some of the same foes, rekindling and old rivalry, and adding some new regional rivalries. The Dodgers found success on the field finishing the regular season with a 6-3 record and berth in the Class 4A playoffs.
Now that normalcy is returning to the lives of our players, coaches, and fans, we ask for your re-commitment to the Fort Dodge Gridiron Club in 2022. New challenges and needs are aplenty for the Dodger football program, and your support will be critical to our continued success. Please consider contributing and supporting the Dodgers!
