                Summer is almost over and fall is rapidly approaching.  With the fall season comes football.  In 2010, Upper Perk will play their  home football games on the newly constructed synthetic turf surface which will prove to enhance the quality of the game.

                The first of seven home games this season will be played on Friday, September 3 against Muhlenberg High School.  This year reserved football season tickets will be available for $49 for seven home games.  There is also a $52 individual adult fall season pass and a $104 family fall season pass that will include all home football games and any scheduled home event (excluding District One & PIAA playoffs) in the stadium this season.  These passes, along with reserved tickets, will be sold during our scrimmage on Saturday, August 27 and also at the first home game on Friday, September 3, from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. in front of the stadium entrance.

                The Upper Perkiomen Athletic Department is also offering other season ticket plans for your purchase.  These tickets may be utilized for any home high school football, soccer and field hockey games (excluding District One & PIAA playoff games) hosted by Upper Perkiomen this fall where admission is charged (21 total games). 

                For your convenience, fall athletic schedules are available in the main offices and the athletic office or online at www.highschoolsports.net. The district asks you please help support the student-athletes with your attendance. Thank you.
