Highlanders Youth Football

A Letter From Your President - Updated Feb 9, 2021

Highlander Family, I pray you are all doing well. It seems like a long time has past since we were on the field last running our camps and clinics. As I come across former athletes and coaches, their first response is always the same. "When are we going to start playing again?"

Our league (CCYFL) has voted to pursue a 2021 season, until we hear otherwise. To that end, we will begin holding camps beginning in March and will also open our 2021 Registration on April 1st.

We have all suffered differently during this past year; our program is no exception. Continued operating costs and pre-ordered equipment last year left us in a financial lurch. For this reason, we will begin charging a nominal fee to participate in our camps and hold a few team car washes to help us meet our operational expenses. A percentage of the camp fees will apply towards registration costs if you choose to sign up.

Please check out our Calendar tab to see upcoming events. Please know, when the time comes for us to host any of our events, it is done so with the confidence and knowledge that we will be able to do so in a manner that follows current health guidelines.

About Us

Our Program

We serve Kindergarten through 6th grade children of South Central Fresno. We are a volunteer driven 501 (c)(3) non profit program. Our mission is to equip boys and girls with the FUNdamentals of Football & Cheerleading so they are physically and mentally prepared to play and perform at the next level. We aim to foster an environment for our student athletes that builds self confidence, a sense of teamwork and positive work ethic.

FOOTBALL

We are a program that centers on FUNdamentals. We are proud to be fully certified through USA Football's Heads UP program. Our coaches teach the game of football while emphasizing sportsmanship, fair play, discipline, respect and accountability that will prepare them for life on and off the field.

CHEER

Lead the crowd with your Highlander spirit! Join our cheerleading squad and fall in love with this fun and popular sport. Our squads learn cheers, chants and dance routines that utilize age appropriate stunts and lifts. They perform at all games as well as special events. Join us and create lasting friendships!
