We encourage new entrants at any level, and welcome kids to come and view one of our practices or games. Our coaching philosophy stems from our commitment to our players and their families, to assure that football is safe and fun. We strive to instill our players with discipline, respect for the game, as well as respect for their peers and themselves. The JFLW Lions has a diverse group of voluntee
r coaches, many played the game in college or at local high schools, and all have received thorough safety training. Our youth program abides by USA Footballโs safety requirements, and focuses on teaching and playing the game safely. Additionally, we work hard to foster a sense of community, welcoming parents to volunteer and get involved. We also assure that the lines of communication are always open between players/parents and coaches. Teamwork and good sportsmanship are the foundations of football! JFLW Lions football follows the same coaching strategies employed by High School (HS) Varsity football teams. We use a parred down version of the HS playbook so kids can start to build knowledge of the game in a consistent way across our program. We also have many opportunities throughout the season for players to engage with High School programs, including practices run by the HS players and coaches.
