There is also an All-Star game on November 21st, for which each team sends five players.
PLAYING TIME: The Boca Jets play in a competitive league; there are no minimum playing time rules. MAKING A TEAM DOES NOT GUARANTEE PLAYING TIME. The team’s coaches determine position and the amount of playing time.
OPPONENTS: The Boca Jets are proud to belong to the AYFL, South Florida’s premiere youth athletic league. Our home games are at Patch Reef Park and away games are at other AYFL team locations which include Coral Springs, Tamarac, West Pines, Pembroke Pines, Cooper City, Sunrise, Davie, Plantation, Weston, Coconut Creek, Ft. Lauderdale and Northeast Ft. Lauderdale. The Boca Jets do not provide transportation.
PARENT INVOLVEMENT: WE NEED YOUR HELP! We encourage parents to get involved and help to make the football/cheerleading experience the best it can be for our kids. There are many areas in which to help -- team managers, statisticians, homecoming committee, field set-up and take-down, chain gang, announcers, holiday parade committee, etc. See a board member for more information about these opportunities.
