🏈 ATTENTION ALL INCOMING 5th GRADERS! 🏈
​Before you head online to register for the upcoming youth football season, please call the Ark City Rec Center first! Thanks to some incredibly generous donations, there are sponsorships available to help cover registration fees for our 5th-grade players! Let’s make sure we take full advantage of this amazing community support.

​As many of you know, our organization is officially joining the South Central Youth Football League (SCYFL)! To make this transition a success, we need to field a team at every grade level. Historically, our 5th-grade group has had our lowest turnout—but we want to change the narrative this year! Our goal is a record-breaking number of boys playing from 1st through 6th grade.
What’s New with SCYFL This Year?
​Joining the new league brings some fantastic upgrades for our families and players:

🏈​1st & 2nd Grade (Rookie Tackle): We are moving to 11-man football! We will be fielding one strong, unified team this year instead of trying to split numbers across two.

🏈​One Location for ALL Games! No more racing from town to town or forcing families to split up on Saturdays to watch different siblings play. Everyone plays at the same complex!

🏈​6th Grade Championship & Awards: Our oldest group will now have a true Championship Game between the top two teams! Plus, league coaches will vote on Offensive and Defensive Players of the Game all season long for year-end awards! 🏆

​This move is a massive step forward for Ark City youth football. But to make it work, we need our community’s help. Let’s get these kids registered, falling in love with the game, and building the foundation they need for middle school and high school ball.
