🚨 Exciting News for Carterville Youth Football! 🚨

We are proud to introduce the Carterville Pride Youth Football Association, now leading Carterville Junior Lions football (5th–8th grade)! Our community-driven program is dedicated to developing young athletes through teamwork, discipline, and tradition while fostering a competitive and structured environment for success on and off the field.

The name “Pride” represents more than just football—it embodies the unity and strength of a pride of lions, symbolizing the deep-rooted tradition of Carterville football. Our program is built on support, leadership, and community, bringing players, coaches, and families together to create a strong foundation for the future.

With a new Board of Directors and a community-first approach, we are committed to player growth, leadership, and teamwork. Stay connected by following our page for updates on our new website, registration details, and off-season training opportunities with top athletic trainers in the area!

🚀 NEW WEBSITE COMING SOON! Stay tuned for more details!
