With over 55 years of tradition, we are the longest running youth sports program in Nazareth. Our football program offers teams for Rookie Flags, Competitive Flags, Junior Varsity (100 lbs.), and Varsity (120 lbs.) levels. We also offer a program for our local 4 and 5 year olds called Little Gridders as a program to get kids interested in youth football.

One of the main goals of our program is to prepare our players for the next level of competition as they move up to playing for our Nazareth Middle School football program. 

We play in the Colonial Youth Football League (CYFL) and our home games are played on Saturdays at Lower Nazareth Township Park.
