We are pleased to announce that registration for spring tackle football is now open. We will field teams at 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U. This is a shorten season with only 4 regular season games in order to prepare for the regular fall season. Games are played on a full football field with 11 players just as in the regular season. The only difference is a running clock and the exclusion of all special teams. This will allow for coaches to spend more time working on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. It will also help “speed” the game up and help prevent injuries.
This league is being run by the GMYFL with all games played in the Metropolitan area. Season schedules aren’t out yet but games will begin around the second week of April. Practices will begin around the first or second week of March. Efforts will be made to not interfere with other spring sport practices.
Please understand that we do not control the game schedule and should game schedule conflict with your childs other spring sport this still may be a good way to get additional conditioning and training for the regular season as we intend to bring in some of the areas top coaches and treat some nights in a camp like manner with some planned guest coaches. Not all coaches have been announced yet. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
