2024 Football Season
We are excited to continue with a 7th season of a unified progression for the game of football at ADM. The goal of this development progression is to ease kids into the game of football by implementing age appropriate skills each year along the way. With this model we are hoping to teach kids to love the game of football, while teaching safe playing techniques. Our league was previously selected by USA Football as one of 4 leagues in the US as a pilot for this model, and information was provided to them to help identify best practices that were shared with programs across the country. The model we follow will look like this:
- K-2nd Grade – Local Flag Football (8 on 8)
- 3rd Grade – Traveling Flag Football with Soft Helmets (8 on 8)
- 4th Grade – Full Padded Flag Football (8 on 8)
- 5th Grade – Rookie Tackle Football (8 on 8)
- 6th Grade – Tackle Football (11 on 11)
- 7th Grade-12th Grade – Tackle Football Through School (11 on 11)
These will be the football options available in Adel. We believe for the success of our football program as a whole, it is vital that everyone is on the same page from Kindergarten through High School.
If you are interested in being part of the youth football program, please contact Jacob Cole ([email protected]) or Coach Winkowitsch ([email protected]). We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Go Tigers!
