The Jr. Generals Junior High Football program serves players from many surrounding communities who are in the 7th and 8th grades. Our program belongs to the Granite State Football League, which includes many communities from across NH and VT. Some programs even have enough participation to field both a “JV” and a “Varsity” team, so please help us spread the word to great families looking for a “football home” this coming fall! The goal of this program is to provide more advanced development and competition in the game of tackle football, with an emphasis on safety, skills, and sportsmanship. Jr High football generally starts in mid-August and runs through the end of October, with an additional 2-3 weeks of playoffs for teams who advance. Similar to the Youth program, it is required by league rules that we practice 5 days per week in the pre-season to build body stamina and conditioning, so attendance at practice is extremely important. We then transition to 3 practices per week and play games on Saturdays or Sundays
The league provides helmets, shoulder pads, and all required protective gear. Players will need to have their own cleats, water bottles, and mouth pieces. Our Head Coach for the Jr. High 2024 is Mike Lochman, who has over 30 years of coaching experience in multiple sports and at multiple levels.
