Had a great time playing football, and basketball. They should look into some of the home cooking by the officials!

INFC will not let Piedmont 4th graders play in the playoffs even though the team is undefeated due to a couple of players being in another school district. As a parent I was not aware that it was an issue since this is not a school funded activity. Instead of educating the parents. They stripped the 4th grade team of their season.

Great organization. Good group and always have the kids best intrest at heart.

Terribly unsafe program for the kids enrolled. The program wont listen to these issues unless enrollment numbers drop. There are other youth tackle football programs in the area that are probably a much better option than the INFC. I strongly encourage any parent that cares about the athletic development of his or her child to avoid enrollment in INFC tackle football until they fix these issues. It primarily stems from a large number of uneducated coaches and no avenues of support for well educated parents to communicate concerns that are effectively addressed. There are a few exceptions, but you are limited to the school district your child is enrolled in, so you really dont have many options at all. Im heavily trained in healthcare and a former personal trainer, so I know the body academically very well with respect to development and proper athletic training. IF you dont believe me, just take a look at all of the kids who are great athletes at the very young ages (6/7) that have their bodies broken down by poor coaching techniques and lack of fundamentals. You never hear their names much in the JV and varsity years... it isnt coincidental. The coaches get certified by watching silly training videos that are the same for everyone, but you cant believe that a 6 yr old newbie to tackle football has the same needs or safety concerns as a 26 year old experienced pro player?!?!The league only cares about head injuries, or at least pretends to, because the media has made a big deal of it, but the media will never make a serious push or report on the dangers of poorly operated youth football leagues because there isnt much money in it. I just hope you take my advice and keep your kid away from INFC tackle football and wait until 8th grade when the schools take over and have paid coaching. (of find another youth league). If you care about their athletic future - either for general health purposes, performance improvement, learning fundamentals, or you have loftier goals for your child, at minimum this league will severely disappoint you and worse case they will get your child injured and broken down during critical development years and there likely will not be a recovery to a level of athleticism they could have attained by just playing other sports until more educated coaches that understand the safety and fundamentals of a contact sport can be involved (8th grade). The coaches are mostly of low education and typically day laborers and very blue collar - not really equipped to handle such young kids correctly, and they honestly get so wrapped up in it that they risk your kids safety for their own egos. They typically have little going for them in their professional lives, so their identity becomes being a youth tackle football coach and the kids suffer tremendously as a result. There are rare exceptions, but the odds are weighted heavily against you because of the school district requirements.You can always take your kid out to a field and start working with them on your own to teach certain techniques that INFC completely ignores - proper stance, blocking techniques, patterns, terminology, snaps, handoffs, snap counts, positions, nomenclature, etc. You wont find any of that in INFC, so chances are that you will actually be preparing them better for real football than any INFC experience could. Like I said, Ive seen rare exceptions, but those 3-6 teams at each grade level arent enough to account for the 15-20 that need serious adjustment or are causing harm. They dont even provide playbooks to help the kids learn! Just be patient and wait til 8th so your kid has an opportunity to learn this sport as it was meant to be taught and learned. It can be a really great sport in the proper environment. INFC is not that environment or experience. Actually, a lot of the head coaches have very minimal or no football playing experience, so that alone should speak volumes.

Very helpful on signing up and what needs to paid in full.

Love the staff football rocks

Great place for sports
