The tackle football season typically starts on the 4th Monday in July and finishes in mid-October, but can extend into November with playoffs. To start the season, teams will practice up to 10 hours per week. Once school starts practice is limited to 3 days a week, with one game on the weekend. Games are typically on Sunday's and occasionally on Saturday night.

Football is a travel sport. Our teams travel to neighboring towns and sometimes further to play. For a complete list of team locations in our league click here.
