Spring Tackle

We typically offer teams at the 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U and 8th Grade levels.

The age cutoff date for each player is 07/31/2025. This means the following: The age of your child as of 07/31/2024, will be the level they participate in. For example, if your child is 13 as of 07/31/2024, we will put them on the 14U team, etc. We encourage all players to play with their grade level. 

The Spring Season typically begins with practice in early February. The first game is in Mid March and the season runs through Mid May.

Practices are held at Boulder Creek High School or the Anthem Community Park.

Most teams practice two or three days per week. Practice is typically 2 hours. Younger ages typically practice from 5-7 with older kids practicing from 7-9. All depending upon field availability.

The season will have a minimum of eight games and a maximum of ten depending upon the playoffs. Games are played primarily in the Phoenix Metro area but there are teams from all over Arizona so games can be played in Flagstaff, Prescott or Yuma.

We do host games at Boulder Creek every season.

Practice jerseys and games jerseys can be purchased in the registration process. You can reuse the jersey for multiple seasons if so desire.
