Tackle Football

Team placement will be dependent upon the number of registrants per grade and the teams are typically constructed as follows –    

NJSYFL “A” Team: 8th Grade – Sundays at 1:30pm

NJSYFL “B” Team: 7th Grade – Sundays at noon

NJSYFL “C” Team: 6th Grade – Sundays at 10:30am

NJSYFL “D” Team: 5th Grade – Sundays at 9:00am

NJSYFL “E” Team: 3rd & 4th Grade – Sundays at 3:00pm

NOTE: Our registration system does not recognize grade as a way to delineate teams.  When registering, you will see more than one option available based on your child’s age.  Please select the appropriate team based on your child’s grade in September 2024.

Registration for the fall 2024 season will open on May 1, 2024 and will promptly close on June 30, 2024.

The season will commence with a mandatory training camp, to be held at Tamaques Park, 6:00 – 8:00pm Monday through Thursday, which will likely be during the week of August 12, 2024.

Safety for all players is our #1 priority.  The NJSYFL has partnered with USA Football (http://usafootball.com) and all coaches are required to be certified by completing both the USA Football Heads Up Tackling and the Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. training courses.  Additionally, the Westfield PAL conducts background checks for all coaches in the program.

Physical Exam:  All players are required to complete a physical exam to indicate that they are fit to play tackle football for the 2024 season.  A player may register prior to completing the physical exam; however, the exam must be completed prior to the start of training camp in order for the player to participate.
