Our players and coaches are working together to ensure the game of football thrives in our community. 

OUR MISSION 

The Giant Football program is dedicated to teaching basic football skills to all players. Games will be against teams from other communities, the emphasis of the league  and Giant Football is on the instruction and football fundamentals.

Our program is committed to providing a fun and safe environment for kids to enjoy our beloved sport. 

True change in the game of football must begin at the youth level.  We understand and embrace that responsibility because it is in the best interest of our kids.

We are proud to be one of the many youth football programs actively engaged in taking steps for a smarter and safer youth football environment. 

ATHLETIC TRAINER 

TCYFL requires that a professionally certified athletic trained be present for all games.  That individual is responsible for assessing and in some cases treating a possible injury. No coach, player, official or league representative may overrule an athletic trainer when they declare that an athlete can no longer participate in a competition.  

Player Safety

Nothing is more important than the work we do to protect every young athlete involved with the  Little Giants.

Practice Rules

Every season we begin with five days of practice without pads or contact.  These practices are designed to acclimate our athletes to the rigors of practice and heat.

During this time, we teach fundamentals and take small steps towards practices in full pads and with full contact.

Once we enter our regular practice schedules, our teams are limited to eight total hours of practice. Only four of those hours may include full contact. 

On very hot days, Giants follows strict guidelines regarding limited or canceled practices.  Our coaches are taught to identify heat illnesses and they are instructed to always provide water breaks when needed, erring on the side of caution.

Coaches Training

Our coaches are offered training in First Aid and CPR.  Every team is required to have at least one coach who is certified in this training. Also, all of our coaches must complete USA Football’s training on heat, hydration, recognizing a concussion and properly fitting football equipment on an annual basis.
