Auburn kickoff only has 3 teams currently attending and is in danger of being cancelled. If you plan to attend the Auburn Kickoff, you need to register by the end of the day tomorrow.
If you plan to attend any of the other kickoffs around the state, please take time to register. It helps the coordinators with planning to know how many are in attendance. It is not gracious or professional to just show up.
