Frequently Asked Questions
Who are The Malone Panthers?
The Malone Panthers were established in 2019 as a Select tackle football program. Since then we have expanded our athletics program to also include Basketball and Track & Field.
Do you have to try out to become a Panther?
No, although all programs will have some sort of tryout for the team, they are not required for participation. If interested in joining a program, please visit the program page and reach out to the Director or Head Coach for the team you are interested in joining. Each program/team might have deadlines to make roster adjustments so it may be possible that they cannot join a team for the current season.

Our programs are aimed towards athletes in the 3rd grade through to 8th grade, depending on the program. If you have a student-athlete that is not in this range, please contact us for further information.
Will my child automatically make the team?
We encourage all student-athletes to tryout for the team that they want to play on. Playing time is earned and not just given. We offer select programs that encourage all of our student-athletes to work hard and understand that they can do anything they put their minds too. Practice times is where all athletes earn their playing time coaches will place student-athletes in situation that they feel they will be successful. Everything is Earned Nothing is Given!!!.
