Focus of the JFLOCI
The JFLOCI is a league with a focus on four primary premises:
1. The teaching of proper tackle football concepts, techniques, and mechanics.
2. The opportunity for each player to execute what they learn; ALL players will play the
equivalent of half a game, for each game at the Squirt, Pee Wee, and JV divisions. Players
at the Varsity and Senior levels each play a minimum of 10 minutes, or one quarter, in each
game.
3. Supporting players in their academic, social, and citizen development
4. Keeping the practices and games fun for the kids, while maintaining an instructional, learning,
and developmental environment.
