Hopewell Valley Youth Football and Cheer Association offers a six-session spring flag program open to boys and girls, ages 5-14. This is 7-on-7 non-contact football with all passing, which allows scoring offensively and defensively.
This program runs for six Sundays from 6 to 7 p.m. beginning April 17 and ending June 5 (no sessions on Mother’s Day or Memorial Day). Sessions will be held at Twin Pines, 255 Lawrenceville-Pennington Road, Pennington. Fee is $75, includes a participation T-shirt.
HVYF&CA also offers a fall tackle and cheer program open to boys and girls, ages 4-14 who are residents of Hopewell, Pennington, Titusville, Ewing and Princeton. Participants of all ages and skill levels are welcome to join.
HVYF&CA says its philosophy is that athletics and scholastics go hand in hand. At every level, HVYF&CA programs seek to develop well-rounded young men and women who learn the fundamentals of football and cheerleading, and also the importance of education, developing sound character and having a good time.
The fall tackle league begins practice Aug. 8 in the early evening from Mondays through Thursdays on the Central turf field.
Fee is $150 for 4-, 5- and 6-year-olds, and $200 for all other levels. Registration is open for both programs. For information, their website is www.hvbulldogsfootball.com.
