Youth Sports 7 on 7 Intramural Tackle Football

Child, Youth & School Services' (CYSS) Youth Sports & Fitness Department is transitioning its Youth Football to 7 on 7 Intramural Tackle Football this season. This exciting new program means that there will be more playing time for the youth, more equitable (weight) competition for the youth, & playing only other CYSS teams on post (less travel for all involved).

We will have smaller team sizes as well as a modified field. Youth between the ages of 8-13 can sign up starting July 1. Our Junior Varsity teams will consist of 8-10 year olds & our Varsity teams will consist of 11-13 year olds. 

Youth must be enrolled in Child, Youth, and School Services (CYSS) & have a valid sports physical.
