It's not too late to signup for cheerleading, flag football, and even tackle football.

While the tackle football draft has already occured, and the majority of teams have been filled up, any player wishing to play this coming season can signup and will be assigned to the team with the least number of players.  

The final day to register for tackle football will be Saturday, August 7th, 2010, but hurry as conditioning practice starts Monday, July 26th!

Flag football teams are currently being formed and the last day to register for flag football will be Saturday, August 14th, 2010.  Flag players can expect to hear from their coach in the next week or so.  Flag B (K, 1st grades) practices will start on August 10th and Flag A (2nd, 3rd grades) will start on August 11th.

Cheerleaders should expect to hear from their cheer mom over the next week.  The final day to register for cheerleading is Wednesday, August 4th, 2010.  The first week of cheer practice will start August 2nd.

Calendars for each league can be found on the League Calendar page.

It's hard to believe, but Jackson Youth Football is just around the corner!

Tackle Football Player Evaluations:

Who needs to attend? 

Any player who is moving up to the next league.  This would include previous flag players moving up to play in the Tackle B League (typically players entering the 4th grade,) and Tackle B players moving up to the Tackle A League (typically players entering the 6th grade.)  If the player is not moving up to the next league, they will automatically be placed on the same team as last year and DO NOT need to attend the evaluation.

Any player who did not play football in the Jackson Youth Football Association last year.

When is it?

Tuesday, July 13th and Tuesday July 20th.  We will start at 6:00 PM and should be done by 8:00 PM.

You only need to attend one of the nights, and which date you attend is up to the player, but YOU MUST ATTEND one of the two dates if you meet the above criteria.

Where should we go?

If the weather is nice, player evaluations will be held outside at the South Fields (behind the High School, near the equipment shed.)

In the event of serve weather, evaluations will be inside the High School's Auxiliary Gyms 1 & 2.

What should we wear?

Shorts, tee-shirt, and football cleats if the weather is nice.  If we are forced to move the evaluations inside the auxiliary gyms, bring a pair of tennis shoes.

What will we be doing?

Player evaluations allow the team coaches to get an idea of who they want to select in the player draft on July 22nd.

Players will be timed running a 40 yard dash, weighed, measured for height, and asked to do basic football drills (throwing, catching, running, blocking)

 

Player Medical Physicals:

We have gotten a few questions as to whether players need to get a physical before playing in the league.  Medical physicals are NOT NEEDED to play in JYFA as the league is a youth league and not officially associated with Jackson Schools.


Conditioning Practice:

Conditioning is just around the corner and will start on Monday, July 26th at 6:00 PM. 

The first week of practice is for conditioning only and NO pads will be used. 

All players will be contacted by their coach following the draft on July 22nd as to what team they are on, and where to report on July 26th.
