Our Broncos season starts with a two-week spring practice session in April, giving athletes a chance to get back on the field, build confidence, and reconnect with their team.

Official season practices begin in late July, with games kicking off in August and continuing through November.

From the first practice to the final game, it’s a season built on hard work, leadership, and Broncos pride.

Our spring practice session takes place over two weeks in April, with practices held Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 6:00-8:00 PM.

During the regular season, teams practice Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00-8:00 PM.

These practice nights are a great time four our athletes to build skills, grow as teammates, and prepare with Broncos pride for game day.

Games are held on Saturdays from mid-August through November. We look forward to seeing our Broncos family fill the stands and cheer on our athletes each week.

Jamboree is an important annual conference event where all teams—both football and cheer—come together at Sevier County High School for official paperwork submission, roster confirmation, and weigh-ins.

This is when the league finalizes all new and returning player paperwork and submits the official team rosters for the season. You can find more information on the Dandridge Broncos Facebook page.

For Football Players

Football athletes will be weighed with everything they are wearing and carrying, so it’s important to come prepared.

Players must wear their game jerseys.

We recommend wearing:

• light athletic shorts

• lightweight slip on or athletic shoes

To help with weigh-ins, we suggest not bringing a water bottle or carrying extra items.

For Cheerleaders

Cheerleaders should arrive wearing their full uniform.

Please note:

• no jewelry is permitted

• nail polish is not allowed

Jamboree is an exciting kickoff event that brings the entire conference together and gets our Broncos family ready for the season ahead.
