For the past few years a group of alumni from AOL/Spalding and Bergan High Schools envisioned a youth football program for the Catholic children of Central Illinois.  A program in which all children can join together as friends, peers and teammates.  Where they can learn the fundamentals of football while understanding what it means to be a team player.  Today, that dream is a reality...NOTRE DAME JUNIOR FOOTBALL.

The Mission

The mission of Notre Dame Junior Football is to bring together the Catholic communities most special asset, its children.  To build and foster lifelong friendships, teach good sportsmanship, promote Christian and personal responsibility through community service and lay the foundation for moral excellence.  To mesh alumni from our parochial institutions of the past to forge the leaders of our Catholic community of the future.

Why We Are Different

The Notre Dame JFL sets itself apart in THREE special ways:
1.  We are committed to the Catholic Faith
2.  We require each team to participate in one Community project.
3.  Our goal is to have FUN!
