Welcome to Upper Arlington Youth Football
Upper Arlington Youth Football is a full pads tackle football league designed for children in 3rd through 6th grade. Open to all, regardless of residency, the league emphasizes teaching the fundamentals of football in a safe and enjoyable environment. The program is divided into two leagues: the 'Black League' for 3rd and 4th graders, and the 'Gold League' for 5th and 6th graders. Each season consists of seven games played on Sunday afternoons at Northam Park, complemented by three weekly practices.
Inclusivity is a core value; every child who registers is guaranteed playing time, ensuring that all participants experience the joy of the game. Players receive high-quality equipment, including Riddell helmets and team jerseys, while parents can purchase additional gear through the league. For younger children, Flag Football is available for Pre-K through 2nd grade, focusing on fundamental skills and a smooth transition to tackle football. Cheerleading is also offered for grades 1 through 6, promoting teamwork and school spirit.
