Ames Youth Tackle Football

Tackle Football Divisions for Youth Entering 3rd to 6th Grades.


Ames Youth Tackle DIvision

Ames Youth Football Tackle Division is open to youth entering 3rd to 6th grades. AYF strives to provide a safe, structured, and fun environment while youth learn the fundamentals of tackle football. Teamwork, discipline, and confidence are always promoted, and safety is our number one priority. Players will learn proper techniques and safe habits while practicing all levels of play.

Tackle has two divisions - the 3rd/4th Grade Division and the 5th/6th Grade Division. No experience is required to join our Tackle Division, and players will compete and travel to other surrounding communities.

Registration Fee includes uniforms and equipment for the season (pads, helmets, pants/jersey). You will want to make sure your player has a good pair of non-metal cleats and a few mouth guards.

PRACTICE AND GAME INFORMATION:

- Both Tackle Divisions will practice 4 days a week up until the week of the first scheduled game.

- Practices are typically 2 hours on M, T, TH, F, and are typically scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30. The week our first game is scheduled. practice will be reduced to 3 days a week - M, T, TH. *Practice times may change slightly before the season begins, but these are what practices have been in the past.

Tackle Games are held on Sundays and will be scheduled after 12 pm. We do travel to surrounding communities, with the furthest travel being approximately an hour away. Games are split between home and away, and players will need to arrive one hour early to warm up.
