The Lakeland Cardinals provide organized football for ages 7 through 8th grade for the children in the Greater Grant Township area. The league is made up of Travel teams which all participate in the Junior Football League of Northern Illinois. The league teaches the children the benefits of being part of a team, while developing good sportsmanship, character, responsibility, respect, safety and the other essentials of being a good athlete.
PROGRAMS:
The Lakeland Cardinals offer several football programs to accommodate players of various skill ranges.
We have five divisions of play in our program, and with each division there can be either one or two teams. The Saturday teams are instructional teams, and the Sunday teams are competitive teams.
While all of these teams play competitive football, only the top players are selected for the Sunday Division.
This does not mean that Saturday players are any less motivated, but we feel by having an instructional level all of our participants will receive quality playing time.
Also by placing the players by ability we believe we reduce their chance of serious injury, as well as ensure that they will enjoy, and get the best benefit from the Cardinal Experience.
