💐 Happy Mother’s Day to All Our Amazing Moms! 💐

Today we celebrate the incredible moms who make everything we do possible.

To the football moms chasing down equipment, juggling schedules, and somehow making it to practices, games, and still getting dinner on the table…

To the loud and proud cheer moms who support our kids through every high and low, always bringing the energy and encouragement…

To the snack bag moms putting together those after-game treats that the kids look forward to every week…

To the concession stand volunteers who keep everything running smoothly, help serve our community, and support our organization behind the scenes…

We see you. We appreciate you. And we truly couldn’t do this without you.

The sacrifices you make—many of them unseen—are what help create memories that will last a lifetime for these kids. Your love, time, and dedication mean more than words can express.

From the bottom of our hearts…
Thank you, Moms. 💙🦌

🏈 Tonight, Dreams Come True… But They All Start Somewhere 🏈

As we watch the NFL Draft tonight, we’ll see young men hear their names called — dreams realized after years of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication.

But what people don’t always see…
Is where it all began.

It started on fields just like ours.
With youth football.

With early mornings, learning how to line up, how to hit, how to get back up.
With teammates becoming brothers.
With coaches teaching discipline, accountability, and heart.

At Junior Antler Athletics, we’re not just building football players —
We’re building young men and women who understand hard work, teamwork, and overcoming challenges.

✔ Learning discipline
✔ Facing adversity
✔ Building confidence
✔ Being part of something bigger than themselves

That’s what youth tackle football brings — not just to kids, but to families and entire communities.

Not every child will play on Sundays…
But every child can learn the lessons that last a lifetime.

And every dream has a starting point.

👉 Let this be yours. Sign up today:

🏈 Ready for Friday Night Lights… on Saturdays? 🏈

If your athlete is ready to compete, grow, and experience real football energy — Junior Antler Athletics is the place to be!

One of the best parts of our program is the level of competition and community our kids get to be part of. Our teams face off against programs from all over the area — and many of the same communities that feed into Tivy’s district and beyond.

With Tivy’s move to 4A, we’re still finalizing where we’ll land and what the full schedule will look like — but matchups with teams from Canyon Lake, Fredericksburg, Legacy Ranch, Wimberley, Marble Falls, Boerne, and more are all on the table for this upcoming season.

And make no mistake…
Saturday game days feel a whole lot like Friday nights.

From the atmosphere, to the competition, to the pride of representing Kerrville — this is a true feeder program that prepares kids for the next level while giving them an unforgettable experience right now.

If you want your child to:
✔ Compete against strong local programs
✔ Learn systems that prepare them for middle school and high school
✔ Be part of something bigger than just a team

🏈 Junior Antler Athletics – Common Registration Questions 🏈

As registration continues to roll in, we’ve had several great questions from parents. We wanted to take a moment to explain a little more about how our program works and what families can expect.

Team Structure
We field two separate teams:
• 3rd/4th Grade Team
• 5th/6th Grade Team

You will not see 3rd graders practicing against 6th graders. We organize drills and contact situations with age, size, and skill level in mind to keep things safe and productive for everyone.

Preparing Kids for the Future
Our offensive and defensive systems and terminology are modeled after the Tivy football program, helping prepare kids for what they will experience when they reach middle school and high school football.

Our Approach to Contact Football
We take a very gradual and safe approach to introducing contact. We do not believe in throwing kids into the deep end or trying to “separate the men from the boys.”

Instead, we focus on building confidence in the pads, teaching proper technique, and developing skills step by step. Everyone starts with the fundamentals, no matter their experience level. We also match kids by size and skill level during contact drills.

Our goal is simple:
✔ Build confidence
✔ Improve skills
✔ Teach teamwork
✔ Encourage kids and build them up, not tear them down

Season Preparation
We offer summer workouts that gradually build into:
• Helmet practices
• Then full-pad practices

This allows players to adjust comfortably to both the equipment and the physical side of the game.

Certified Coaching & Safety
All of our coaches are USA Football Heads Up certified, meaning they are trained in safe tackling techniques, proper equipment fitting, and player safety protocols.

Making the Program Accessible
We believe every child should have the opportunity to play. We offer:
• Payment plans
• Scholarships
• Sibling discounts
• Discounts for local school district employees (KISD, Ingram ISD, etc.)
• City employee discounts

If cost is a concern, please reach out. Don’t let finances be the reason your child misses out.

We are incredibly excited to welcome returning athletes and many new faces this season.

🦌 Don’t miss your chance to be a Junior Antler!

If you have questions, feel free to message us anytime.

🏈📣 More Than Football. More Than Cheer. It’s the Junior Antler Experience. 📣🏈

When families join Junior Antler Athletics, they’re signing up for more than just Saturday games. They’re joining a program built around community, character, faith, and unforgettable experiences.

Last season our athletes didn’t just practice and compete — they made memories all over Kerrville and beyond:

• Partnered with Mt. Wesley for the Mega Food Drive helping serve our community
• Kicked off the season with a team celebration at Still Water Camps
• Helped keep Kerrville beautiful by cleaning up after the Homecoming Parade
• Enjoyed team trick-or-treating together
• Had the chance to run out on the field with the Tivy Antlers on game day
• Celebrated our All-A and A/B Honor Roll student-athletes thanks to Scooter’s Coffee
• Participated in the Kerrville Holiday Parade, where we were honored with Best Non-Profit / Youth Organization Float
• And one of the biggest highlights — an unforgettable trip to AT&T Stadium in Dallas, where our football players and cheerleaders competed and performed right on the Cowboys field, along with getting a behind-the-scenes stadium tour.

These experiences are what make Junior Antlers special. It’s not just about wins and losses — it’s about building friendships, serving our community, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

And we’re just getting started. We’re excited to add even more experiences this year as we continue to grow the program.

If you’re looking for a place where your child can grow as an athlete, a teammate, and a young leader, we’d love to have you join the Junior Antler family.

🏈 Junior Antler Athletics – Frequently Asked Questions 🏈

As registration opens up, we’ve received some great questions from families interested in the program. Here are a few quick answers to some of the most common ones!

Do teams travel for games?
Yes. We play in the Hill Country Youth Football League, so our teams do travel. Most trips are about 1–1.5 hours, though occasionally we may travel up to about 2 hours. Last season we were blessed to host games two weekends during the regular season and one round of the playoffs right here in Kerrville!

When are games played?
All league games are played on Saturdays.

Do players have to keep their grades up?
Absolutely. Our program is designed to help develop student-athletes. Players must pass their classes to play. Failing grades mean no playing time on Saturdays until the grades improve. The same expectations apply for school discipline issues such as ISS.

How often are practices?
During the season we practice twice per week. We also host summer workouts to help players get ready for the season and continue developing skills.

When does the season start?
Mandatory practices typically begin the last week of July, and our first games usually start the first weekend of September.

Our mission is bigger than football. We want to help young men and women grow in discipline, accountability, faith, and teamwork while representing Kerrville with pride.

If you have more questions, feel free to reach out anytime!
