TACKLE FOOTBALL FAQs
When does tackle football start?

Practice is typically held 4 times a week up until September. Once school starts, practices will be 3 times a week.*

There are no additional costs paid to LPYF. However, Tackle Football players MUST have a colored mouth guard with a strap, non-metal cleats, and a jockstrap/athletic cup provided for them in order to play. These items are MANDATORY to participate in practices and games.
*Football players MUST follow a specific practice schedule before they can participate in games.
*NOTE: The July 1st date applies to all ages except the 14 year old. **NOTE: Any 5 year old who turn 6 before or on October 31 of the current year will be allowed to play on the Mini team. 5 year olds will be allowed to play on the Mini team at the discretion of the Head Coach. As not all 5 year olds are the same, playing time will be a coach’s decision and they are not subject to the 6 play minimum under Rule 7.18.
All football coaches are background checked and certified through USA Football Tackle Certification.
