The players practice 1.5-2 hours 3-4 times a week, as well as weekend football games.

14U: 13-14 years old (age as of July 31^st): Our 14U team is our oldest most advanced team. This group is for our kids that are unable to play high school, those that want to stay with Rec football, or those that may be behind a grade but age deters them from playing with fellow peers, so this team is for you! The same skills are pushed and maneuvers taught and used to play at the upper level football such as athletes can expect to see at the High School level. The players continue working as a cohesive team and expected to demonstrate the best sportsmanship both on and off the field for fellow teammates as well as our opponents.
