Springfield JFL - Overview
The mission of the Springfield Junior Football League (JFL) is to provide a safe, fun learning environment for the youth of our community. We strive to create an opportunity for kids to work together as a team toward common goals. We emphasize sportsmanship, teamwork and respect for authority figures (Board Members, Coaches, and Game officials). While we are not a farm system for high school football programs, we recognize the impact we may have on those programs. Our focus is on developing good life skills through the sports of football and cheerleading.
The Springfield Junior Football League, Inc. is organized exclusively for charity and complying with the provisions of Section 501(c)4 of the Internal Revenue Code as amended, as a tax exempt entity.
The purpose of this league is to provide a democratic means for
administering a junior football program at the 6th, 7th and 8th
grade level, the building of character, citizenship, and a spirit of
cooperation and sportsmanship among its teams and players, both on
and off the field and to provide the youth an opportunity to learn
the fundamentals of the game of football.
