Florence Township Youth Football, affiliated with the West Jersey Youth Football League, is offered to all children from Kindergarten through 8th Grade. The program is broken up into divisions and weight classes. We have dedicated volunteer coaches who provide the fundamentals of the game of football and encourage teamwork and sportsmanship to all players.
Beginning with our Flag division (non-competitive), our young players are introduced to football by learning the very basics of the game. They will learn to pass, run, and throw with the football and basic plays. They will also learn to understand the various positions on the football field.
This division is followed by our weight classes 90lb – 160lb and divided into teams based on the child’s birthday as of September 1st of the playing year and current grade in school. This is for grades 1st or 2nd through 8th grade. Players will practice with their respective teams and will play games against teams in the West Jersey Youth Football League. The season starts the first week of August and concludes at the end of November, including playoffs.
Divisions (children are placed on teams by their age- their birthday by September 1st/grade)

- 125LB

**The weight classes can change every few years by the West Jersey Youth Football League
