Macon Youth Football and Cheer

05/17/2026

We had our final scheduled sign up today and we had a great one! We wound up with over 320 total kids in our league between cheer, flag and tackle football. We will be having our drafts in mid June, (probably June 8th and 9th for tackle, with cheer being a little later), so tackle and cheer should hear after that which team they are on and when they begin practice. We look forward to an exciting season this year and hope to see everyone this fall.

We are still taking sign ups right now if anyone missed them or still wants to play or cheer. I know several have been on vacation or out of town and other sports are still going on. We will be taking these until the 1st week of June. Let us know on here or call 615 388 3389 or 615 670 6637 if you would like to sign up.

We had our first sign-up for this season Saturday and we had an amazing turnout. We had close to 100 to sign up for cheerleading, flag, and tackle football. We will be having another sign-up this Saturday, May 16 from 8-4 at the football field so please try and make arrangements to attend this in case you missed this past Saturday! We still have plenty of equipment as we tried to make sure we were prepared. If you need more info, please call 615 670 6637.

Our drafts for tackle football will be held after our sign ups at some point with the officers letting the coaches know and then they will be getting into contact with the players after that. Our flag draft will be held after the tackle divisions.

We would like to see everyone this Saturday to get signed up for our 31st year of youth football and cheer.

Football and Cheer Season is right around the corner and we are so excited for our season to begin! Last year we had an amazing year as we had close to 400 kids to cheer or play football with us. We will kick our 31st season off with our 1st open general meeting of the year on Sunday, May 3 at 3:00 PM at the high school football field on Meador Drive beside of Lafayette Elementary School. This meeting will be for the election of officers, appointment of all head coaches for each cheer squad and football team, and appointment of our board of directors for the 2026 season. All coaches are urged to attend this meeting as the teams must be handed over to new head coaches in person or by letter from the outgoing coach and accepted in person. Anyone who is interested in how the league operates or just wants to help our children is invited to attend also. We will also be talking about our upcoming sign-ups on Saturday May 9 and Saturday May 16 from 8-4 at the football field. Papers should be going have out to all students over the next couple weeks also with info on these sign-ups and the league in general. For more info, message us here or call Coach Ricky Claiborne at 615-388-3389 or Sarah Merritte at 615-670-6637.

We had our first meeting for our girls flag division today. We had good interest that showed up and it was decided that we will be starting this league this coming spring. We will work with any other leagues that may be going on at that time to ensure that all girls get to participate in any and all activities that they want to. This also enables us to have the practice areas that we need for our teams.

We will have more meetings along before we start the season. We want to offer the girls in our community the opportunity for this new endeavor as several neighboring counties are already participating in girls flag at the high school level. Hopefully this will give our girls a head start in this event.

********Edit below:*********

The parent's meeting with the girls flag league has been moved to Sunday August 17 at 3:00 due to a possible unforseen scheduling conflict for that Saturday. It will still be held at the football field on Meador Drive.

Football season is right around the corner! Most of our tackle and cheer teams have started practicing this week with our flag teams to start Saturday. I know all of our coaches are getting excited for the season to start.

We do still have some room for our older division teams which is the 10 through 12 year old division or through the 6th grade. If anyone in this age group would like to sign up, please contact us here or contact Ricky Claiborne or Sarah Merritte.

We are also interested in starting a new division this year which is a 4th through 8th grade girl's flag division. We are going to have a meeting on Sunday August 17th at 3:00 @ the football field on Meador Drive in Lafayette for everyone who is interested in this division. This meeting is very important to determine if there is enough interest in this before we can determine if it is feasible for us to get this going. Please try and make arrangements to attend this meeting to discuss all the details of this new endeavor.
