The
Hampshire Wildcats Youth Football and Cheerleading organization
has successfully served as the feeder program to Hampshire High
School for over 25 years. We
are encouraging all children
who will be attending Hampshire High School
(boundary map) in
the future to join our
program. Children will receive proper
technique, safety and style instruction as it relates to the Hampshire
High School football teams and
cheerleading squads. Our coaching staff participates in several
off-season coaching clinics, receives
yearly background checks, and are always enthusiastic and supportive
of the children involved. We also
offer our program at a
lower cost than most area groups, but still maintain the highest
quality equipment, training and playing facilities
in the vicinity. |

The IYFL is designed to
have 2 levels of competition for the children. The Sunday league is competitive,
while the Saturday is instructional. Our goal is to have 18-22 players per team,
the first team being filled will be the Sunday team, then the Saturday team(s).
This is always dependent on how many kids sign up per level. The football
director and coaching staff will determine the placement of your child on the
appropriate team.
