12U Tackle (12 years old and under)
12U is for athletes age 12. This is where the JFL starts to look like real football. Gameplay becomes less limited as formation restrictions are lifted, blitzing becomes a factor and all special teams are in play. The game will become more demanding as playbooks expand and advanced techniques and concepts are introduced. This version of football will look very similar to high school level but at a lower speed. Athletes will start to be held to a higher standard as role models for the younger players. As Sunday division players this is the JFL equivalent to HS Varsity in our program.
No prior playing experience is required.
12U games will be played on Sundays and will include travel.
14U Tackle (14 years old and under)
14U is for athletes ages 13 & 14. THIS IS OUR MOST ADVANCED LEVEL OF PLAY. Gameplay is nearly identical to High School. We strive to make the 14U level our crown jewel as this is the last year of JFL play for our athletes. At this level we start to bring real intensity to the game. The practices and games become very demanding. Playbooks are growing, techniques are advanced. Players are expected to display high levels of conditioning and take their training a little more seriously than in previous years. As 14U players, athletes are THE ROLE MODELS for the ENTIRE program and are expected to act in accordance with that standard anytime they are representing our organization. As Sunday division players this is the equivalent to HS varsity in our program.
