Hey Pioneers! As we get into this 2026 season of Lil Pioneer Football, I just wanted to give a couple updates regarding the 2027 season! Effective September 1, 2027, the new ND006 standard on youth football helmets will go into effect. What that means for us. We will need to replace ALL 80 of our helmets currently in inventory in order to participate in tackle football next season! We are working on sponsors, fundraising, and some special events to raise the money needed to replace the helmets to meet the standard. Please know, all of our current helmets are still good for this year’s fall season. With that being said, please participate, spread the word, share our events! Help us keep tackle in our program for 2027!
In addition, we do plan on bringing back K-5 grade flag football and 1-6 grade cheerleading next year! Thank You all for the support over the last few years!
With Pioneer Pride,
Krista Spooner

You should be hearing from your coaches shortly if you haven’t already, and we are planning a uniform fitting soon .

Sad news today Pioneer Family!
WYCO Panthers Nation, our hearts and thoughts are with you today as we learn the news about Coach Michael Wheeler Jr.
Coach Wheeler embodied what it means to give back to his community! His passion and his love for the kids in the community will go unmatched! People never realize all the hard work and dedication that goes into running a youth sports program, but Coach Wheeler, you will be missed across your organization and ours, as well as the KC Sunflower league!
