🏈 THE BEST INVESTMENT YOU CAN MAKE IS IN YOUR CHILD. 💙❤️

It’s not too late to become a BRAVE!

Youth sports are about so much more than wins and losses. Kids who participate in organized sports are more likely to:
⭐ Build confidence and self-esteem
⭐ Develop leadership and teamwork skills
⭐ Stay active and healthy
⭐ Learn discipline, responsibility, and resilience
⭐ Create friendships that can last a lifetime

At Braves Youth Football & Cheer, we’re committed to helping every child grow—not just as an athlete, but as a teammate, a leader, and a great person.

Whether it’s their first season or they’re returning for another year of fun, there’s a place for them here.

🏈 Registration is still OPEN!

Thank you Brandon for all you have done for the youth program

Hey now. My name is Brandon Lockett. I only have 1 son, and we have been involved with Octorara Football for 5 years now. I love football and when I came to Brayden’s first practice. I was told they didn’t have a coach for their D team. What a perfect opportunity to get to spend more time with him and teach him the game. What I didn’t know was how I would fall in love with the challenge!! I got to meet some of the best kids and parents I have ever known! It was rough the first couple years, but we have found out footing. I wouldn’t want to coach another group of kids. The kids we have here in Octorara are great kids that are able to do anything they want if they put the effort in. The best part is watching them achieve things they didn’t think they could. I wouldn’t be anything if I didn’t have the help throughout the years. Coach Luis, Coach Gerald, Coach Don and Coach Bryant, without them, I wouldn’t be the coach I am today. GO BRAVES!!!

Our last game of the season is tomorrow!! To finish up we will give you our last 2 coaches! Thank to everyone who had a hand in making the Braves youth season run!!

Hey, I’m coach Shawn Gusler. I have been coaching for 2 years and football was my first love. Growing up sports meant the world to me. I would play anything that was competitive. Now as a dad it’s great to see we have 3 boys in the house playing football. We are also a big wrestling house with all 4 kids wrestling(Johanna took 8th at states this year). To me youth sports are the best way to get kids out of their comfort zone and become more responsible for not only themselves but for their teammates. I truly love coaching and talking to these kids. It’s so fun seeing them grow from the first practice to the last and the friendships they all have made.

another great coach for our Coaches Corner:

Coach Donald "Donny" Kramer

I have been coaching football, wresting, and baseball for 3 years. I am married to Heather (life skills teacher at Octorara), and I have three kids Savanna (14) ,Brantley (11), and Raelynn (8). I grew up in Delaware County and played football, baseball, and wrestled for Penn Wood. After high school, I served in the Army. My hobbies are hunting, fishing, and camping. I enjoy coaching to help the kids build confidence in themselves and to help advance their skills in the sports they are playing. There is nothing better than seeing the smiles and happiness on the kids' faces after getting their first touchdown or making a play. GO BRAVES!
