14U for ages 13+ (8th Grade or Below)


We will be using your child's age as of 7/31/23 as the age cutoff, so whatever age they are on 7/31/23, will be the age of the players they play and cheer with


Our goals of having fun playing football while teaching fundamentals and sportsmanship haven't changed one bit in 34 years, and they continue to be what our Board and Coaches are guided by.

As expected, there will still  be some guidelines in place to keep our families and players safe during a pandemic, but we are looking forward to the chance to get back to playing football and cheering.

Schedule
Summer Practices are 5 nights a week, to get used to the heat and wearing pads...

Once school starts, we will be going to three times per week, normally Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

Games will be on Saturdays, with the possibility of a weeknight game. The season will go through November 2023.
