We will be running a Football and Cheer program for the 2020 season, limited to HFL athletes.  The program will be non-contact and will focus on skill development, knowledge building, and competition.  

Program Goals and Details: 

We do not want the cancelation of the 2020 Finger Lakes Youth season to cause our athletes to miss an entire year of Football and Cheer related training and activity.  Our goal is to promote hard work, sportsmanship and family in our youth program, while teaching kids the skills and concepts they will use as they continue in the sport - all the way through the HFL School programs. 

Football: 

• Develop offensive and defensive skills, including passing and catching, route running and blocking, other offensive/defensive techniques and strategies
• Teach the USA Football “Heads Up” method of contact (blocking and tackling) using tackle bags/dummies
• Put the skills to use through scrimmages (non-contact) in age specific groups

Cheer: 

• Developing skills, learning terminology
• Learning dances, sideline and competition cheers
• Working on Jumps
• Conditioning for stunting and tumbling
• Staging mock competitions
• Having FUN! 

Cost: $75.00 Registration Fee - includes t-shirt (Check payable to HFL Cougars or Cash Only) – Payment will be collected the first night of practice for all participants.   See the document below for more details.

There has been a great deal of focus recently placed upon the issue of concussions in the sport of football. Following numerous studies, government agencies, schools, and football sanctioning bodies have created guidelines aimed at protecting our youth from unnecessary injuries. Our league has set policies in place for this season that specifically address this important issue. Please take a few minutes to read the Fact Sheet for Parents attached below. Being aware of concussion prevention, symptoms, and treatment is extremely important.
