Junior Warrior Youth Football
Who: Boys entering grades 6-8
Cost: $150 per player by April 15; $175 from April 16-on
This program gives our area grade school athletes a possible three or four years of tackle football experience prior to high school. It exists to teach players the basic skills of tackle football, teamwork and good sportsmanship, under the guidance of Christian coaches.
Assuming numbers are sufficient, we field separate 6th, 7th- and 8th-grade teams. We are members of the Dane and Jefferson County Youth Football League and compete against teams from Jefferson, Lake Mills, Cambridge, Belleville, Columbus, Whitewater, DeForest, Monroe, Fort Atkinson, Delavan, and McFarland.
Practices begin Monday August 5, from 5:30–7:30 p.m. and run every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday leading up to the first game on Saturday, August 24. Thereafter, practices are Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5–7 p.m. Games are usually on Saturdays. The season includes 7 games, with the final game expected October 12.
A definitive game and practice schedule is set by the time we mail out forms to registered players in spring.
