🏈💚 Thank You for a Great Season, Everyone! 💚🏈
First, we want to thank all of our players, cheerleaders, coaches, parents, and volunteers for another great season! We couldn’t do it without everyone’s support!
💚🏈 After Many Years, It’s Time for the Bartons to Pass the Torch! 🏈💚
After years of dedicating our time, energy, and hearts to the Grandview Gridiron Program and the De Soto Youth Football Association, the Barton family has made the bittersweet decision that it’s time for us to step away from youth football.
What started as a way to give back to our community turned into so much more. We’ve spent countless hours behind the scenes, from organizing teams and equipment to fundraising, working concessions, and making sure these kids had the opportunity to play the game they love.
It hasn’t always been easy, but seeing the smiles, friendships, teamwork, and growth of these young athletes has made it all worth it. We’ve made some wonderful memories and friendships along the way, and we will always be proud of what we’ve helped build. 💚
With that being said, we need dedicated individuals who are willing to step up and help keep this organization going!
We are looking for people who are interested in serving on the De Soto Youth Football Association Board. This organization needs people who are willing to put in the time, work together, and continue making youth football and cheer a great experience for the kids in our community.
These programs don’t run on their own. They take commitment, volunteers, and people who truly care about the future of our youth.
📣 If you are interested in becoming a board member and helping carry this organization forward, please send us a message!
Our hope is to see this program continue to grow and thrive for many years to come. We may be stepping away, but we will always be cheering for these kids and this organization.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us and these programs throughout the years. It’s time for the next group of families to take the reins and continue what we’ve worked so hard to build. 💚🏈
