This division is designed to introduce and teach 7 to 9 year olds the fundamentals and basics of the game of football. This is a great opportunity for you to get involved on the ground floor of what we hope will be a long and rewarding football experience for your child.

We would like to encourage you to “get involved” and help make this a positive experience for the participants.

Please fell free to contact us (info@lakewoodlancers.org) or our Athletic Director (ad@lakewoodlancers.org) for more information on how you can get involved.
