Football

A SAFE AND FUN ENVIRONMENT


Full size stadiums, breaking through a banner while music blares, cheerleaders and parents cheering them on, standing for the national anthem, PA announcers calling the game – Needham Junior Football is best experience you (and they’ll) have in youth sports.

At NJF, we are dedicated to providing a safe and fun environment where kids can learn to love football and learn important life lessons at the same time.
Needham Junior Football has no tryouts, but teams are capped at 36 players, first come first serve. We strive to have teams from 2nd/3rd grade all the way up to 8th grade.

Our program focuses on the following 3 guiding principles:

  • Safety – This comes above everything else. Top-of the line equipment. Limits on hitting in practice. Detailed concussion protocol, training and testing, plus EMT’s at every game.
  • Fun – Everything about our practice plans are geared to be fun and fast-paced, while the games are amazing. It won’t be hard to get them to practice or the games.
  • Fundamental improvement – Being fundamentally sound makes things safer, and as kids improve it is always more fun. We are focused on developing all kids into a cohesive unit that performs well in the fundamentals of the game. Positive team results follow.

When we focus on the above, it provides a great opportunity for our kids to learn the great lessons taught by football, while fielding a competitive team. They benefit from these long after their football days are behind them.

  • Teamwork
  • Perseverance
  • Organization
  • Focus
  • Discipline
  • Hard Work
  • Achievement

At the end of each season, we judge our success by the following measures:

  • Run a safe program
  • All kids have fun and improve
  • Coaches focused on player development
  • ALL kids get playing time during games (not just top athletes)
  • Develop kids into better people
  • On field performance of football fundamentals
  • Provide a feeder of football players to the high school
