Tackle Football
Rapid City Junior Football – Tackle Football Program
Rapid City Junior Football offers a competitive yet development‑focused tackle football program for boys and girls entering 4th through 6th grade. Our athletes play 11‑on‑11 tackle football, learning the fundamentals of the game while building teamwork, confidence, and sportsmanship in a positive environment.
Player safety is a top priority. As proud members of USA Football, we follow nationally recognized safety standards and best practices for youth football. We offer and strongly encourage the use of Guardian Caps to help reduce impact and enhance player protection throughout the season.
Teams are formed using established criteria to promote balance and continuity, including school attended, the area of town in which the player lives, and the player’s prior year team, when applicable. This approach helps foster familiarity, community connections, and a positive team experience for our players.
Our program is led by dedicated volunteer coaches, who set their own practice locations and schedules to best meet the needs of their teams and families. This allows for flexibility while maintaining a strong commitment to player development.
Each registered player is provided with all essential league‑supplied equipment, including:
- Helmet
- Shoulder pads
- Padded football pants
- Guardian Cap
- Game jersey
All league‑issued equipment must be returned at the end of the season. Players are responsible for supplying their own football cleats, mouth guard, and practice jersey.
All games are played at the Star of the West Sports Complex, providing a consistent and high‑quality game‑day experience for players and families.
Whether your child is new to football or continuing their journey, Rapid City Junior Football offers a safe, structured, and exciting place to grow in the game.
