U19 Tackle

U19 is an advanced level that is played in 12-a-side. In this division the focus is on safe contact and more position specific skill development. Players will continue to learn football fundamentals, teamwork and sportsmanship, as they develop into young athletes. U19 Spring tackle gives “new to” and current High School athletes a head start in preparing for the High School season.
