Girls’ football league planned
Attention all girls ages 8-15: Are you tired of sitting in the stands watching your brother play football? Would you like to play, too, but your parents say ‘no’ to tackle?
If so, the Pioneer Youth Football Legaue needs to hear from you!
The PYFL wants to start an all-girls flag football league that will be divided into different age groups. Interested players are asked to talk to their parents and contact the PYFL, so it can determine if there will be enough potential players to form a new league.
Games would be played on Saturdays at Bobby Ray Elementary School. Players’ sign-up fees would pay for a T-shirt-style jersey which players could keep. The only additional equipment needed would be tennis shoes and shorts or sweat pants.
If interested in participating, call (931) 668-2304 or 212-6463.
