Developmental Program For CHS

As a developmental program for Chiawana High School, we are dedicated to the development of football skills in our student athletes.  All students residing within our boundary - even those that are homeschooled or attend a private school - are invited to join the Junior Riverhawks!  

Child Safety is Our Priority

All coaches, assistant coaches, and any volunteers in direct contact with players have completed a criminal background check and child abuse clearances.  

Commitment

Football is considered one of the most rewarding, yet demanding of all little league sports.  Therefore, it requires a strong commitment to the program.  The success of the program is driven by the level of support delivered by our coaches, players, parents, volunteers, and community.
