The Shelby Lions
Football Club would like to thank all players, cheerleaders, coaches,
board members, parents, family, friends, fans and sponsors for being
part of a successful 25 years with many more to come...
The Shelby
Lions Football Club was founded in 1981 and became part of the ESFL
(Eastern Suburban Football League). While with the ESFL, the Club
played at the Pontiac Silverdome, which was a wonderful experience for
all.
In 1997, they
were invited to the OMYFA (Oakland-Macomb Youth Football Association)
for the 1998 season. The Freshman team went on to win the first
Superbowl for the Club. The Club went through some growth over the next
few years.
The first games
were played at Mae Stacker Park and were moved to Whispering Woods. Our
field of dreams (Home Field) became a reality in 2002. This could not
have been accomplished without the tremendous amount of time, talent,
and financial resources from the Club, the Shelby Township P,R&M
Department, the Shelby Township Board and the may hard-working
volunteers and supporters.
