Overview
Mission
The objective of South Dakota junior football, inc. Is to promote, manage, and conduct an organized youth football program for the pre-high school youth in and around sioux falls, sd. The league's goal is to teach the basics of the game of football, sportsmanship, and teamwork in a positive, encouraging environment that will assist all participants in improving self-worth and confidence. To meet this objective, one of our rules is for all players to play a minimum of one full, continuous quarter per game. By playing one full quarter, each player is taught to play on offense, defense, and special teams. This teaches all players the basics in all areas of the game. All teams play a six-game regular season schedule and are guaranteed two playoff games. Games are played on nine marked football fields maintained by the city of sioux falls parks departments at sanford sports complex in northwest sioux falls.
What it reported doing in 2024
To provide the opportunity for area youth to learn the fundamentals of football. Teams practiced and played in two leagues for an eight-week season. An estimated 2,706 youth participated in football leagues in 2024.
