FMF Magazine - covering the central Hunterdon area’s premier youth football and cheer program
THE FMF WAYFor over 45 years, Flemington Midget Football has provided instruction and support to thousands
of successful athletes. During that time, we have developed a unique culture, based around five
core beliefs that guide everything we do. “The FMF Way”, is what al lows us to successful ly
develop our athletes physical ly, mental ly and emotionally while providing them with positive
experiences and memories that wil l last a l ifetime. THE FMF WAY is:
FAMILYOnce a member, always a member
SAFETYAthlete safety first, last & always
TEACHINGCoaching is teaching
TEAMWEG not me
SUCCESSShare the work, share the reward
Team success is a by-product of coaches developing every athlete to their personal potential as
they progress through the program. Good teams become great when coaches view practice as an
opportunity to help their athletes grow and develop and when athletes view practice as an
opportunity to maximize their contribution to the team.
No one can win by themselves. We all have to trust and rely on each other for the team to be
successful. Both coaches & athletes must be prepared to do whatever is necessary for the good of
the team. Great teams are built on Teamwork, Dedication, Effort and Trust. . . lessons that wil l help
our athletes succeed in sports and in l ife.
I t is every coach’s responsibi l ity to teach the fundamental ski l ls and strategies of their sport to ALL
of their athletes. I t is every athlete’s responsibi l ity to put forth the effort to learn. I f an athlete gives
the effort, coaches must do whatever is necessary to help them learn and improve. Athletes that
progress through our program giving honest effort WILL enter high school with a competitive
advantage in skil ls and tactics
The health and safety of our athletes comes before everything else. Parents trust us with their
chi ldren; we must do everything in our power to return them safely. Athletes must let their coach
know if they are injured and must not return to action unti l they are ful ly ready.
Whenever an athlete competes as a Pioneer or Jr. Red Devil , they join a long tradition of
excellence. Many have come before us; we must honor their work by our actions. Many wil l come
after us; we must provide them with a program to be proud of. Once an athlete becomes part of
our FMF family, they wil l forever be welcome here.

Flemington Midget Football is a 501 (c)3 organization dedicated to improving the youth of Hunterdon Countythrough competitive Football and Cheer. One of the oldest youth football organizations in the area, from our
founding in 1 967 through 201 0, FMF teams were exclusively known as the Flemington Pioneers. Since 2009, wehave undergone tremendous growth and have reclaimed our original name of FMF. In 2009, we added ourextended season competition cheer team. In 201 0, with the addition our Hunterdon Jr. Red Devils teams, ourfootbal l offerings were expanded from four football teams participating in one league to ten football teamsparticipating in three leagues. In 201 3 we were able to offer, for the first time, an Extended Season CheerTraining Squad for girls who were either too young or not yet prepared for the rigors of our Extended SeasonComp. Team. Thoughout al l of our recent growth, we have worked hard to stay true to our guiding principles ,"The FMF Way", and maintain our position as the premier youth football and cheer program in the central
Hunterdon region.

to the BW 6. Pizzico powered to the 1 . A penalty
pushed the ball back to the 6. On 3rd down, Murphy, behind strong blocking from Jason

behind blocking from Nick McClel lan, Christian Callahan and
Jake Saracinel lo, but was called back for i l legal procedure.
But on the next play, Murphy took off to the other side with a
21 yd run back to the 1 8. Pizzico took the next play in for a

JAMES L. "JIMMY" WILSONOur Number One Fan
Jimmy Wilson left a lasting memory with everyone who visited Pioneer Field throughout the 1 980's and early1 990's. While his wheelchair kept him from taking part on the field, it couldn't keep him from being part of theteam. At the end of every summer, l ike the changing of the seasons, Jimmy was there to usher in footbal l
season. He was as much a part of the Pioneer family as the crack of pads echoing through the crisp autumn airand the roar of the crowd on game day. For close to a decade, Jimmy never missed a game, indeed, he nevermissed a practice in al l of his time with us. His love for the game and for the team was infectious and wil l beforever remembered. In 1 994, after his passing, the organization recognized Jimmy's contribution to our family
by naming the playing field after him and retiring the number one jersey, in memory of their #1 fan.
JOSEPH YASHKAS6/4/85 - 4/29/00 : Forever a Pioneer
Joey Yashkas was a Pioneer through and through. He played football for the program and was a greatteammate and a key member of the team from his peewee days through his eigth grade season. As much ashe loved football and his teammates, Joey also loved racing motorcycles. I t was this love that took Joey from usfar too soon. After the tragic motorcycle accident that took his l ife in 2000, the organization retired his number55 and decreed that in remembrance of Joey and Jimmy, their numbers 1 and 55 be painted in the corner of the
endzone for every home game so that they wil l always be part of our family.
