Welcome to the Clarkston Chiefs Home Page.  Since 1970, the Clarkston Chiefs have supported the Clarkston Area and its children with experiences that last a lifetime.  The Clarkston Chiefs, a franchise of the Northern Youth Football League (www.nyfl.net), is a group of nearly 900 athletes, parents and volunteers who participate in the promotion of youth tackle football, cheerleading and pom pon.

The NYFL franchises realize that winning is not what creates a successful team, but creating young men and women with character and respect for others.  That is why all NYFL teams must embrace the "KIDS FIRST" theme to participate in NYFL activities.  Currently, the NYFL franchises are:

Auburn Hills Makos
Brandon Jr. Blackhawks
Birmingham Patriots
Clarkston Chiefs
Lake Orion Dragons
Lapeer Steelers
Pontiac Panthers
Waterford Corsairs

The athletes are between the ages of 8 and 14 and are separated into three divisions: Freshman(8-9), Junior Varsity (10-11) and a Varsity Team (12-14). Ages are based on September 1 for the current year.  Three teams (Blue, Gold & White) are supported by the Clarkston Chiefs at the Freshman and Junior Varsity Division. Registration is typically the first Tuesday in May at Clarkston Junior High School.

You have watched the boys compete all year.  Now it is time to see the girls in a competition of high energy an excitement.  On November 2nd at Brandon High School, the Freshman, Junior Varsity, Varsity and Pom Pon will compete against the other teams from the Northern Youth Football League.

All football players and coaches are expected to come support the Clarkston Chiefs as the girls have supported the boys all season.  If you have not seen Mega Cheer, then you do not know what to expect.

Come join the fun.   Details to follow.

This is a reminder to sell/purchase your raffle tickets.  This is the only fundraiser that the Clarkston Chiefs participate in.  We have dropped the price in half ($25) and doubled the number of tickets sold (2000) so that we can keep having fantastic pay offs.

If you do not sell your tickets, please return them as we would need them in case the Michigan State Lottery decided to audit the raffle.  We do not want to lose this priviledge.  There are major penalties for not returning tickets or ticket stubs which includes participation issues for your children.  Please see your team director.

If all tickets are returned, this years payoff will be on October 18th at Clarkston Jr. High School.

1st Place - $15,000

2nd Place - $5000

3rd Place - 10 payments of $500.

All are subject to Michigan State taxes.

Thank you for your support.

This years Awards Ceremony will be November 9th at Clarkston Jr. High School.  Plans are just beginning.  So, information will follow in the near future.  Your team Director will be receiving more information soon. 

Teams will be scheduled by squad instead of level this year.  So, instead of all the Freshman at one time, we will have all the Gold, Blue and White at different times.  We feel this will make our ceremony more family friendly.

Food will be served before the festivities begin. 

The Clarkston Chiefs will host the first round of the NYFL National Division playoffs on October 25th.  The Freshman will play at Noon, Junior Varsity at 2:30 and the Varsity at 5PM.  Volunteers will be necessary to announce game, booth spotter, run clock (if not Clarkston team), sell tickets, receive tickets, host/hostess, clean up and pass out programs.

Please see Donna Barta if you think you will be able to help out.  Currently the games are scheduled to be played at Clarkston Jr. High School.  More information about who will be playing at the CJHS location will follow.

This week teams will be playing for Division Titles, Improving Seed positions, Qualifying and just concentrating on winning the next game.

The week begins with a road trip to Dryden High School where the Varsity (4-2) will play a Noon game against the Lapeer Steelers (0-6).  Last week the Varsity were able the defeat the Lake Orion Dragons 37-12 while the Lapeer Steelers took one on the chin to the Birmingham Patriots White.  Kickoff is scheduled for Noon at Dryden High School on Saturday.

The Freshman White (6-0) will be playing for a division title on Saturday.  But, so will the Birmingham Patriots White (5-1).  Both teams are 4-0 in the Freshman National Division.  Winner will hold the head to head tie breaker going into the final regular season week.  Last week, the Freshman defeated the Auburn Hills Makos Silver as the Birmingham White defeated the Lapeer Steelers. Kickoff is 3PM at Clarksotn Jr. High School on Saturday.

The Junior Varsity White (6-0) will have to win one of the next two weeks to capture the National Division White Division Championship.  Why not do it this week as the  Birmingham Patriots White (2-4) come for a visit.  Last week, the Junior Varsity defeated the Auburn Hills Makos Silver and the Birmingham Patriots White lost to the 2nd Place Lapeer Steeler.  Kickoff is scheduled for 5PM at Clarkston Junior High School on Saturday.

The Freshman Gold (3-3) currently hold the 4th and final position in the Freshman National Division.  If they want to improve there playoff chances they will have to continue take care of business as the Lake Orion Dragons Green (0-6) visit Clarkston.  Last week the Freshman won on the road against the Waterford Corsairs Green.  The Lake Orion Dragons Green were not able to stop the Birmingham Patriots Blue.  Kickoff is 4PM at Clarkston High School on Saturday.

The Clarkston Chiefs have all become Waterford Corsairs Green fans as they need a little help for the Junior Varsity Gold.  A Birmingham Blue victory over Waterford Green will eliminate the JV Gold from playoff contention or any other loss.  So the JV Gold (1-5) needs to take care of business against the Lake Orion Dragons Green (2-4).  Kickoff is scheduled for 6PM at Clarkston High School on Saturday.

The Freshman Blue (6-0) is seeking a American Division Title.  So are the Auburn Hills Makos Blue (5-1).  A Fresman Blue win will clinch the Freshman American Division Title and #1 Seed.  Last week, the Freshman Blue defeated the Lake Orion White.  While the Makos Blue took the first loss against the Pontiac Panthers.  Kickoff is 1PM at Auburn Hills Civic Center Field - AKA The Shark Tank on Sunday.

Currently, the Junior Varsity Blue (4-2) have a firm hold on the 4th seed in the Junior Varsity American Division.  They are looking to move up as the Auburn Hills Makos Blue (0-6) are being hosts on Sunday.  Last week the JV Blue defeated the Lake Orion Dragons White.  Auburn Hills Makos Blue could not hold back the Pontiac Patriots.  Kickoff is scheduled for 3PM.
