: Welcome
Are you ready for some football?
Welcome to the Tri-Cities Youth Football Club website!
Home of the Mariners!
Our purpose is to provide a supervised youth tackle football program that promotes both physical fitness and develops good sportsmanship through the instruction of basic athletic fundamentals.
We do this by stressing the importance of hard work, self respect and the respect of others through individual efforts and teamwork.
We promote respect for authority and develop a respect for the rules and regulations that we hope will carry forward into adulthood.
And we have a lot of fun!
