HSL football is instructional intramural youth football where fun, participation, teamwork, and skill development are stressed. There are five divisions: a 1st-2nd grade coed flag football, a 3rd-4th grade coed flag football, MITE tackle football (usually 3rd/4th grade, born after 9-1-02, max weight 130lbs), MIDGET tackle football (usually 5th/6th grade, born after 9-1-00, max. weight 160lbs), and a BANTAM tackle football division (usually 7th/8th grade, born after 9-1-98, max. weight 200 lbs.). A maximum ball carrier weight will be implemented for the Mite and Midgets when weigh-ins are done. We practice and play at Mill Dam field and at local schools. NO TRAVEL INVOLVED!!
Each team (except for flag which plays Saturday mornings and afternoons) plays approximately two games a week...one week night under the lights, and one Sunday AM. The practice schedule is per each coach. Each team plays 6 to 8 games. There are playoffs and a Super Bowl game....last year played at Cold Spring H.S.on the new field turf!! Please note that this season there will be games scheduled over Columbus Day weekend!
Note: HSL provides a helmet and game jersey.
Players need to provide the rest of their equipment such as shoulder pads, pants,cleats, practice jersey, etc.
