Re: West Oaks Academy & Ocoee Bulldogs Football Field
Dear Jim:
It has been brought to my attention that you have requested in writing what has
been agreed between the Ocoee Bulldogs Jr/Sr. Football League and West Oaks
Academy. West Oaks Academy will be playing their home (football) games on the
Bulldog Field, which will take place on Friday nights. The Ocoee Bulldogs Jr/Sr Football
League, will be opening their concession stand for the games.
West Oaks Academy has graciously offered to let two of our teams practice for
the football season. We all no that the practice fields are very scarce and we are
scrambling to find fields as the season will begin July 30, 2001.
If you have any questions regarding any of the above, please do not hesitate to
contact Dan Coleman at (407) 682-9600 Ext. 137 or Debbie Roach at (407) 836-7950.
