Football

The Wanaque Warrior Football Program is over 50 years old!   

The Warrior Football Program stresses family, education, community and perseverance in a fun environment as cornerstones of our program. Please come and join this tradition! 

New helmets and uniforms were recently purchased.

Programs Offered:

Flag Football - this program is designed for first year players in Kindergarten or 1st grade. We hold two weekly practices: one night during the week for an hour and again on Saturday mornings during September. Starting in late September or early October there will be some games on Saturday afternoons, both home and away, verse other teams in our league. 

Flex Football - this program is for 1st and 2nd graders. This is a modified flag program. The players will be in full equipment but there is no tackling and limited contact. Practice starts in early August and will be three nights per week. During the school year, practices will be Tuesday through Thursdays with most games being played on Saturday afternoon. There may be a few Sunday games. 

Tackle Football - this program is for 3rd through 8th graders. Players are in full equipment. Practice starts in early August and will be four nights per week. During the school year, practices will be Tuesday through Thursdays with most games being played on Saturday evenings, with one or two Friday night games possible. 

For our Tackle divisions if there are more than 23 players registered there will be two teams. The second games will be played on Sunday afternoons.

Registration opens each April.

  • The Flex and Tackle divisions have discounts if parents register prior to the end of May, but they also have late fees if parents don't register until August. 
  • Registration fees are tiered.  Fees for Flag are lower than fees for Flex, and fees for Flex are lower than fees for Tackle. 
  •  For the Tackle divisions we have added the ability to pay over installments. Please be aware that there is an EXTRA +/- $3 Sports Connect administrative charge for each payment. This is not a Wanaque fee, and we are simply passing along the platform's charge.
