LEAGUE PHILOSOPHY
Our single most important goal is to have our youth more excited about the game of football/cheer and more willing to continue with the game after the season is over. It has to be fun and FUNdamental. The program places emphasis on good sportsmanship, teamwork and individual discipline.


Thank you for supporting JLF and Cheer!!!

GBPR Junior League Football (JLF) is a full contact football program for boys/girls ages 9-12 years in 4-6th grades only. There are two weight divisions to ensure safety and fundamentals in the program: Lightweight (min. 60 lb) and Heavyweight (100 lb + TBD). Teams will be drafted by volunteer coaches. JLF Cheer is for girls in grades 3-6th. Girls will practice weekly on Tuesdays from 6:00-7:00pm and cheer for teams on Saturday mornings. Emphasis is on basic cheer instruction and dance routine. Flag Football is for boys/girls in grades 2-3 to learn the fundamentals of football and participate in an organized program as a member of a team. GBPR prides ourselves on knowledgeable, dedicated and enthusiastic coaches that volunteer their time to mentor the youth of our community.

Fundraisers:
In the past GBPR has asked that every football player and cheerleader participate in the annual fundraiser by selling an item. This year, we have decided to revamp our current fundraising program and offer players, parents & family members (2) two great NEW!! opportunities to support & give back to Junior League Football. First, we will be selling JLF Merchandise which will consist of T-shirts & Hooded Sweatshirts with the JLF logo. Support your favorite player on and off the field by buying one! Also, back for the 2nd season, we will be producing a JLF Program Booklet that will feature team photos, names and numbers of each player. In addition, you or your business can support the fundraiser by not only purchasing a program at the game, but also purchasing 1/4, 1/2 and Full Page "Blocks of Support" to promote your favorite football player or cheerleader. This keepsake program can be saved for seasons to come and will provide a fantastic memory whenever you look at it. Look for more information below and coming soon at the weigh-in & cheer meeting, as well as a table set-up with examples at the first game of the season.
