Calling all young ballers! The Heights Youth Football is looking to build their team of the future! We have about 10 spots left for our 6U team! This is about the time that team pops and fills up fast! We are looking for kids who will be 6 on August 1 for this team. This will be our main 6U team as they will play on Saturdays' as the opener game in Metro Youth Football League.
We are also super excited to add our first co-ed team to Under The Lights-Richmond in the Fall! Due to the robust numbers we have for 8U, we are able to start another Fall flag team! We expect this 8U team to be VERY good and if your 7 year old needs another year of development, our UTL team is the perfect place for you! This will also be the team we will pipeline our girls flag players!
Just so you know the differences between the two:
🏈Metro Youth Football is 11 v. 11 and most closely replicates the actual tackle football experience
🏈UTL is 6 v. 6 with a much greater focus on skills and speed of the game.
🏈The main players we are looking to pipeline through Under The Lights are our age 7 players not ready for tackle football and the Grades 1-2 girls as this league most closely replicates their rule set!
🏈Roster Size Minimum:
Metro - 15
UTL - 8
As we continue to grow, we hope to add more flag teams as the overall goal of the program is to get kids playing and loving football! The number one goal of the program every year is to retain all of our players from the year before, and this is where it starts!
