The Glen Cove JR. Football League is a proud member of the Nassau County Youth Football League (NCYFL) - https://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=ncyfl2. 

We offer a fantastic opportunity for young athletes, aged 6-12, to learn the fundamentals of football in a safe and supportive environment.   

We're passionate about nurturing a love for the game. Our program is designed to develop not just athletic skills, but also teamwork, sportsmanship, and a strong work ethic.

Safety First:

Player safety is paramount. We emphasize and teach heads-up tackling techniques, focusing on proper form and reducing the risk of injury.  All our coaches undergo thorough training, including concussion recognition and response, equipment fitting, and heat preparedness, ensuring players are well-protected on and off the field.   

Where Fun Meets Fundamentals:

At the Glen Cove JR. Football League, we believe in fostering a love for the game. We create a fun and engaging atmosphere where kids can learn and improve their skills while building friendships and lasting memories.

Strive for Perfection, Have Fun, Learn Along the Way!

We encourage our young athletes to push themselves and reach their full potential. We celebrate individual growth and teamwork victories, fostering a positive and supportive environment where learning is just as important as winning.
