Tackle Football

North Roanoke Recreation Club offers tackle football for youth in 6U, 8U,10U, and 12U age groups. Our goal is for young football players to learn the fundamentals of the game, grow as players, and to enjoy/love the game of football!  

Our rules and regulations are set by Roanoke County Parks and Rec.

All Roanoke County Parks, Recreation and Tourism Youth Tackle Football Games play in accordance with the National Federation of State High Schools rules except for the local league rules listed on Roanoke County Parks, Recreation and Tourism’s website. It is recommended that each coach download a rule book from the NFHS. Online at www.nfhs.org


Our director is Jason Webb and assistant director is Heather Thomas.

Where are practices and games?  



Practices are held at Walrond Park. Home games are at Northside High School stadium. Away games range from Bogle for Hidden Valley and Cave Spring to Franklin County High School for Franklin County.  Keep in mind that Roanoke County schedules all practices, games, and field locations (within Roanoke County) so this is subject to change.


What is the typical practice and game schedule?

All age groups have 4 events per week for the first two to three weeks– Monday, Tuesday, Thursday at 6 pm for practice and Saturday at 9 am.  Once games start, they typically have practice on Monday, with a game on Tuesday or Wednesday, a possible practice on Tuesday if there are no week day games on the schedule, a practice on Thursday, a game on Saturday.  Keep in mind that Roanoke County schedules all practices, games, and field locations (within Roanoke County) so this is subject to change.


What equipment do I need to provide? 

 

Practice jersey, mouth piece, chin strap, and cleats. NRRC provides shoulder pads, practice pants, helmet, and game uniforms. All NRRC provided gear except for game jerseys needs to be returned at the conclusion of the season.

*Participants may be billed for any unreturned equipment*


My child thinks he wants to play.  Can we try it out? 

Typically, we host a football camp a few weeks before the season. This is a good time for your child to feel out if they might enjoy football. 

Once registration ends teams are set, jerseys are ordered early, and all the work is done once the teams hit the fields.
