A Night to Remember! 🏈

Last Thursday during our varsity football home opener, our young HYAA tackle football players had the opportunity to take the field and be recognized for their participation in tackle football this season.

It was a really cool experience for our athletes and coaches to walk onto the field, be recognized in front of the community, and get a taste of what Friday nights under the lights are all about.

🏈 TOMORROW NIGHT! 🏈

It’s the first varsity football game of the season, and it’s also HYAA Tackle Football Night!

All current HYAA tackle football players can wear their jersey or HYAA tackle football apparel and get into the game FREE! 🙌

Our HYAA tackle teams will be recognized between the 1st and 2nd quarter, so make sure you’re there and ready to represent!

We’re looking forward to seeing all of our players, coaches, and families tomorrow night! Let’s pack the stands and show our support! 🏈

We kicked things off this week with three days of helmet conditioning, and yesterday it was time to put the pads on!

The season is officially underway, and our players are putting in the work as we prepare for game day. Our home scrimmage is less than TWO WEEKS away, and then we’ll be kicking off the regular season in September!

Make sure you grab your gear for the upcoming season. The store will close on August 30, giving us just enough time to get apparel in before game day.
