Tackle division (3rd-6th grade)
This is the final step in the youth program. We have 2 tackle levels, a Freshman level for 3rd and 4th graders and a JV level 5th & 6th graders. At times, directors and board members may make adjustments with sibling matches when a certain criteria is met. Tackle games are on Saturdays. Times and dates are assigned by the MYFL Leadership Panel. Schedule is due to be posted on September 1st. Teams will play other programs and travel to other locations. Practices are normally 3-5 days per week for 2 hours. Tackle division does a cheer competition at the end of the season.
