Youth Football - Fall 2026

This is TACKLE football. We will be playing in the AYSA (Appalachian Youth Sports Association) this season. Please note that some away games will require travel, but drive time should not exceed 1.5 hours.

All equipment, except cleats, will be provided to ensure your child can play safely.

Our program focuses on learning, development, and building unity—helping each player grow while becoming part of a strong, supportive team. We do more than play—we lead.

All coaches are vetted by our Football Commissioner, Ridge Laney, and are required to complete concussion protocol training as well as pass a background check.

*** All fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. ***

By registering, you are committing to the full season. Expenses for equipment, league participation/fees, and operations are paid in advance and cannot be recovered.
