Youth Football

The process is the product.

Warriors Youth Football began in 2017 and is growing each year.  Offering both flag football and train-to-play tackle football options, the Warriors Youth Football is an in-house program designed to provide boys and girls with an enjoyable and competitive learning experience under the close supervision of Head Coach Jeff Hartings, members of his coaching staff, parent volunteers, and members of the varsity football team.   Players are not expected to know all the rules and fundamentals. Participation is open to non-WC students.

We are excited to offer opportunities for your child to participate in football this fall.  First through fourth-grade Flag Football will only be on Saturdays.  Fifth through sixth grade Train to Play Tackle Football offers more opportunities to develop football skills through dedicated additional days of practice each week.  During these practices, we will teach basic fundamental techniques for all football positions and install offensive and defensive plays.  This program is designed for parents who have children who desire to play tackle football but have concerns about too much contact, over-zealous coaching, or just traveling too much.  All practices and games will be at WC’s Upper School campus. We will not only do football-specific drills but also do speed, agility, and strength training exercises to prepare participants to play football or whatever sport they choose in the future.  We believe in the importance of developing balance, coordination, and strength to help prevent injuries and improve performance in sports.  If you choose to sign up, it is not mandatory to participate in every workout.  We understand busy work/life/activity schedules.  The games will be on Saturdays only.

PARTICIPATION IN THE WARRIORS Youth football program IS OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY.
