My child has a birthday during the season, what age are they considered?
A players age is determined by whatever age the player is on July 31 of that year. 

How much does tackle football cost?
Registration fee for tackle football is $250 per player. There is also a $50 family fee regardless of age, level of play or number of players.  This fee is paid once per year.  This fee is for the entire family not per player. If you register 2 children for tackle you pay $250 x 2 plus a $50 family fee.

Are there any additional costs?
Parents are responsible for some equipment, please see below for this information. All league issued equipment must be returned at the end of the season.  If they are not, a present day cost will be placed on the account, and additional registration for that family cannot occur until equipment is returned or paid for.

What equipment do parents provide?
Cleats, water bottle, mouth guard w/tether, black game pants with integrated pads. More information will be sent out about game pants soon.

 Is tackle football safe?
Tackle football is safer today than at any point in our history, thanks to mandated coaching education, greater awareness of concussions, a changing culture inside the sport and the most stringent rules. As a nation we know more today than we did 10 years ago and that has led to a safer and better version of youth football. Tackle football is a physical game with inherent risk. We are working with great partners like USA Football on approaches to complement our own efforts to make it safer.

What certifications/clearances do coaches have?
Every coach (head & assistant) must have the following:

  • PA State Police Criminal History Background Check
  • PA Department of Human Services Child Abuse History
  • If they have NOT lived continuously in PA for the past 10 years, a Federal Criminal History Record, which is a fingerprinting process
  • USA Football Heads Up Certification
