Princeton Tigers Youth Football (Tackle League): Gr. 2-6
Teams are divided by grade and determined by coaches and league directors. There is absolutely no requesting of teams. Home games will be played on Saturdays at the Middle School football field or in Forest Lake. Away games will take place at nearby communities and could take place on weekday nights or weekends. Practices will take place at the High School football practice fields. Practice dates and times will be determined by the coach/director, with 2-3 practices per week. There can be no more than four contact days in a week, including games. All equipment and football gear are the responsibility of the participants' family.
**Game jerseys will be handed out during the first week of practice and returned on the last day of practice/games. Jerseys returned in poor condition will result in a $65 damaged jersey fee.
***If you have a jersey from a past season, you can either return the jersey and receive your previous deposit (provided it's still in good condition) OR keep it in exchange for your past deposit fee. ALL PREVIOUS JERSEY DEPOSITS (from 2025 or before) NEED TO BE ADDRESSED THIS SEASON (Summer 2026).
Mandatory Player/Parent meeting: Monday, August 10th at 6pm at the High School Practice Football Fields, first practice will follow from 6:30-8:00pm. Players and parents will meet their coach and get more information about future practices and games this evening.
