What we teach our young athletes
Football is a unique sport in that every individual contributes to the collective success of the team. A lineman has to make his block to free the running back. A linebacker has to make the proper read to put himself into position to make a play for the rest his teammates. Through these individual responsibilities, the player develops important team building and life skills. Some of these life skills include personal responsibility, attention to detail, conflict resolution, self-reflection, mental and physical toughness, team work, goal setting and personal resolve.
When does the season start and what's the commitment?
Our season starts in August and runs thru mid-November. In general, the teams practice 5 days a week for the first 3 weeks, and then drop-down to 3 days a week with a game on Saturday. Every team plays a minimum of 9 total games and may play additional games in the playoffs. The 2022 GEJFA championship games are generally played on Saturdays and start in November.
