Our football and cheer program feature a focus on teaching the fundamentals of the game in a fun and positive environment. Our associations have seasoned coaches at all levels who have proven to be focused on enriching the experience of our young players and cheerleaders, which has lead to a highly satisfied parent-child experience.
Football season starts in mid August and runs until early December. Games are played on Saturdays and practices are in typically during the weekday in the evenings. After a preconditioning period in August, in which teams practice up to five nights a week, games start in mid September and teams may practice up to three nights a week thereafter.
