Football season is here and the boys are hard at practice and camps! We aren't playing for JCYA this year but I did want to write a little something about their program....
We were very lucky to have the best coaches when we played for them which really helps when it comes to my review of their program! If not for them, we would not be going to Falcon Football this year, which is where some of the coaches went with their kids this year. The program overall was fabulous! There are weight limits so that a 125lb running back isn't running against my little 76lb corner back. They have weigh ins to make sure this happens!!!
The football program at 8-10 gets very intense! Their practices are long and frequent, we had 2 hours of practice and the first hour was training/exercise, etc. It is strict, the boys really have to listen or don't play. It teaches perseverance...I love that! The games are on the weekends and the parents are such fans! We met so many people through football, such a good group!
The price is expensive compared to baseball. $200 to register then uniforms, etc. We traveled all over St. Louis to play so many nights out at restaurants. Well worth the money, as this is my favorite sport to watch my sons play. They learned a lot about teamwork and sticking it out...kinda like boot camp in the army. :)
I think a lot of parents anticipate injuries and too much roughness in the game, but I was surprised as well to see that there wasn't a lot of injuries and very good sportsmanship practiced by the players. (can't say that for some coaches and parents...lol)
Two thumbs up to JCYA's football program!
