 WELCOME TO 2024 FM ATHLETICS YOUTH FOOTBALL REGISTRATION!

We are ready to celebrate our 53rd season of youth football in 2024 with YOU!

Fargo Athletics, Inc. was formed in 1972 to promote youth tackle football education and participation in the Fargo-Moorhead area. The organization is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation and all board members are volunteers. During the 2023 season, we registered and rostered over 1300 youth players. 

The philosophy of FM Athletics is to provide an opportunity for all youth to play football, including those who might not otherwise have the chance.  It is the intent of the league to foster sportsmanship, team play, and leadership.  A limited number of scholarships are available. If you desire to pursue this option, please contact us via email (fmafootball@gmail.com).  All scholarship information is kept strictly confidential.

REGISTRATION AND FUNDRAISING FEES:

Registration and fundraising fees are combined as one amount. 

TEAM PLACEMENT/ROSTERS:

Because of the complexity of rostering 1400+ players, registrants (as well as coaching candidates) cannot be guaranteed placement on the same team or with the same coaching group each year.  Additionally, we are unable to accommodate specific carpool or friend/teammate requests at this time. One component of forming teams is date of registration. (i.e. first-registered, first-rostered)
