A Community‑Focused Kickoff
The Pella football team is opening its doors to supporters with a pre‑season event scheduled for August 8, offering a lineup of activities designed to bring families together before the new campaign begins.
Attendees can look forward to a variety of games, a chance to meet players and staff, and a chance to browse officially licensed 2026‑themed apparel that will be available for purchase on site.
A pulled‑pork meal will be served at a modest price of $5 per person or $20 per family, providing a simple, affordable option for groups looking to enjoy the festivities together.
Beyond the August 8 gathering, the squad is gearing up for its official season opener on August 28 at Ballard, where they will face a formidable opponent in front of a statewide audience.
In the weeks leading up to that debut, the team will host a Youth Combine on August 21, giving younger players an opportunity to showcase their talents and earn a spot on the roster.
The event will also feature a scrimmage against PCM, allowing coaches to fine‑tune strategies and evaluate depth before the regular season kicks off.
Fans attending the community event will have the chance to snap photos and collect autographs from members of the 2026 roster, creating lasting memories while supporting the program’s growth.
Local organizers hope the blend of food, games and player interaction will not only raise excitement but also strengthen the bond between the team and the town of Pella as they embark on what promises to be a competitive 2026 season.
