Our Spring Youth Football program is a tackle-free format (not to be confused with flag football) designed specifically for 3rd through 6th grade athletes. Games are played exclusively on Friday evenings in Granbury.
This program is intentionally multi-sport friendly, with practice held just once per week, allowing athletes to continue participating in spring-dominant sports while sharpening their football skills. This format places a strong emphasis on speed, agility, and football IQ, making it ideal for quarterbacks, wide receivers, tight ends, running backs, and defensive secondary players. There is no blocking or rushing, allowing athletes to focus on route running, coverage, timing, and mesh points in a fast-paced, competitive environment.
This spring season, GYFA is excited to announce a new partnership with Granbury ISD, creating a unique opportunity for our elementary and 6th grade athletes to represent their school exclusively. Whether your child attends Acton, Baccus, Brawner, Mambrino, Oak Woods, Acton Middle School, or Granbury Middle School, they will be placed on teams with classmates from their own grade level and exclusively from their school to compete against other Granbury schools—building school pride, camaraderie, and friendly rivalry.
Parent coaches are welcome and encouraged, and we are grateful for their involvement. Additionally, teams may have guest coaches throughout the season who will help mentor and develop athletes, bringing added experience and perspective to the program.
This spring season is designed to be competitive, developmental, and fun—perfect for athletes looking to grow their game in the off season!
