ANNOUNCEMENT (6/23/22):

Marion Youth Football Parents & Friends,

We are excited to announce Marion Youth Football is coming back to southern Illinois! The HUB Recreation Center has entered into an agreement to create a new league called the Junior South 7 Football Conference with the following communities: Marion, Carbondale, Centralia and Mt. Vernon

This will reduce travel and gas expenses for families while supporting area football programs. Not much has changed in the way of how the game is played and we are guaranteed three home games this season. We will be consolidating 5^th and 6^th Grade to one team and 7^th and 8^th Grade to another team rather than four total teams.

Practice will also be starting sooner than anticipated. Please see the practice and tentative game schedule below.

Marion Youth Tackle Travel Football 2022

Marion Youth Tackle Football welcomes all children who are eligible to play. Our program helps to enable young people to benefit from participation in team sports and activities in a safe and structured environment. Through this active participation, Marion Youth Football programs teach fundamental values, skills and knowledge that young people will use throughout their lives.

Marion Youth Football exists to use football and a respect for education to develop strong, smart, responsible, healthy young men and women. We give them experiences that build their appreciation and understanding of leadership, teamwork and discipline.

All 5th thru 8th grade students are eligible. Marion residency is not required.

All players will need their own football cleats. Players will be able to rent all other equipment (helmets, shoulder pads, pants, pads, etc.) for $40.
