YHS Freshman Football – Rising 8th and 9th Graders

If your child is interested in playing Freshman Football this fall at Yorktown, please consider attending our May Parents Meeting on Wednesday, May 17th at 7:00 pm in Patriots Hall (located across from the main gym).  Our head coach, Bruce Hanson along with Coach McBride, head Freshman coach, will be there to talk to you about the YHS football program and answer any questions you may have.  Even if your child has not decided, this meeting is a great way to understand exactly what to expect from the program in the event they do choose to play from practice requirements to type of equipment used to coaching style.  We have a great set of coaches and most of them actually teach at YHS.

Freshman practices/tryouts begin around August 1.  Practices are mandatory and you should expect practices to run Monday – Friday and Saturday mornings during August.  All players must have a physical on file with the Athletic Department in order to play.  A copy of the physical can be found here – https://www.yorktownsports.org/main/filesLinks/.  The latest information is posted on Stack Team App so if you have not already done so, please download Stack Team App and access YHS – Football.  Once you are at the YHS – Football page, click on the gear icon in the top right corner and request access to Boosters Parent Group – All parents welcome.  You may also request access to any additional groups you find relevant.  

If you have any questions please send an email to [email protected] and we’re happy to respond to your question or point you in the right direction!
