BanditS HistorY

The Bandits received its start as a football

component of the BBAA well over twenty

five years ago. It participated in Pop Warner

Football for many years. The Bandits left the

BBAA in 1989 and became the BYS

(Bensenville Youth Sports). On July 21,

1989, the organization became

incorporated in the state of Illinois as the

Bensenville Wood Dale Football Association

or the BWFA. The program left Pop Warner

in 1990 and joined an independent league

called the Mid-Suburban Jr. Football League

(MSJFL) … In 1997, the membership voted

to change the name to currently what it is

today.

W elcome to the 2016 BWFCA annual awards banquet. As board members and parents, we are aware of the need to develop and maintain open channels of communication between new and returning Bandits. With this being said, please feel free to contact any one of our board members with any concerns that you may have.

Looking forward to seeing all of you next year!!! The Bandits are only as

strong as it's volunteers!!

Although you may not always agree with the

people in charge, please try to remember that

they only have your children's best interest at

heart when making some very difficult decisions.

The Bandits is a Non-Profit organization that is run strictly by volunteers. The fundraising that is done throughout the year is to keep our sign up costs low and mandatory to keep all of our equipment in good condition. We appreciate all the time you put in volunteering. It's all for the kids!!

"It may not seem as though your hard work is

paying off... But what you are learning on the

football field is a life lesson. You will have

memories of your Bandit days for years to come.

Keep up the hard work and it will show in your

endeavors. Best of luck for the rest of the

season." - Coach Sabala

We as parents, as mentors, as individuals,

must stress to the youth in our community

that life will never be decided on a football

field, but if taught correctly, the life skills

instilled in playing this wonderful game will

never be forgotten.
