Overview

Kang Football is comprised of several separate but related programs that are intended to provide student athletes with year-round fitness, training and team building activities.

Athletic Seasons

The Lake Washington School District  divides the year into Winter Sports, Spring Sports, Summer Athletics and Fall  Sports. Football is considered a Fall Sport with Summer Athletics.

• Spring Season (Summer Athletics) - Runs early June 2 through early July.  This season gives players and coaches a chance to get to know each other, practice, experiment with different positions and learn about Kang Football. The season concludes with a team scrimmage.  Registration opens late May. 

• Summer Practices - Held on July, days and times TBD. These practices help the team build skills and connections.  

• GRIT Camp - A 3-day trip where players and coaches can bond, work on skills and practice.  Full details available at https://www.kangfootball.com/camp

• Speed and Strength Training (Spring & Summer) - Team building, weight training and physical fitness. Meets typically 4 days a week in the weight room. 

• Fall Season - Runs mid Aug - early Dec. Games are weekly and culminate with the Playoffs and State Championship. Registration is open early Aug.

• Strength and Conditioning (Fall & Winter) - Team building, weight training and physical fitness. Meets typically 4 days a week in the weight room. 

To participate in any of these activities,  student athletes must be registered with the district during the open enrollment period for each season.

There are several steps involved in registering your student for the football program, getting them connected with the team communications system and making sure that parents/guardians are kept informed.

Student Activities 

1. Students must with their parent/guardian's permission register for a Hudl account at Hudl.com/jointeam. Use Team Code: fdgwvj3

Parent Activities 

1. Parents must register their player on the LWSD website by going to Final Forms, filling out and submitting the 3 required registration forms, then pay the district managed fees using Online Payments  during each enrollment period. This can only be done during the open registration periods.

Lake Washington Football relies on the strength of our entire community — players, coaches, and families — to operate a safe, competitive, and well-supported program. While ASB fees cover a small portion of costs, these dues are essential to running and sustaining the football program at Lake Washington High School.

That’s why we ask every family to contribute the Annual Gridiron Club Dues of $200 per player.

These dues fund the core components of the program, including:

• Player equipment: helmet, shoulder pads, Guardian cap, knee pads, belt, travel bag

• Uniforms: practice jersey and three full game uniforms

• Coaching stipends

• Safety equipment and insurance

• Team meals

• HUDL and film equipment

• Game-day operations and transportation

• Player events and recognition

• Scholarships for families in need
  
  

All paying families will receive a yard sign and bumper sticker as a thank you and to proudly show their support of Kang football.

Many employers also offer matching donation programs or financial contributions based on volunteer hours. The LW Gridiron Booster Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, making all donations tax-deductible and eligible for most corporate matching programs.

We recognize that every family's situation is different. Some can give time, others financial support — some both, some neither right now — and we completely understand. We simply ask that each family supports the program in the way they can, when they can. Together, we make it work.

Thank you for supporting Lake Washington Football.

An essential part of any successful football program are the Fans. We encourage all parents, guardians, family and friends to come out to each game and cheer on the Kangs! 

When the stands are full of excited, encouraging and supportive fans, the athletes feel and feed on the energy. It enhances their confidence and commitment and they dig a little deeper and give the game their all.
