After finishing a rewarding NFL career, Joey LaRocque embarked on an ambitious plan: reimagine youth non-contact football for boys and girls. His vision encompassed use of technology and other resources to provide a next generation experience for players, parents and coaches. Since then, the Gridiron Football Team has designed multiple formats of game play and skills development for boys and girls ages 5 to 17, including Flex Football which replicates the safe, low contact and high speed experience used by all NFL teams for in-season practice. Whether you’re joining Gridiron for a safe, fun and fast Recreational Flag game, playing with your team in a Competitive Flag, competing in the 7-on-7 experience, or putting in the work in a fast-paced Flex Football game, we guarantee a great game day experience. Today, Gridiron is the fastest growing non-contact youth football league on the planet and is now operating leagues over 25 states. Our mission is to set the highest standard in youth sports for our communities, empowering each child in our program to become the best athlete, teammate, and person on and off the field. We take a hands-on approach in providing a fun and safe environment for every family, with the goal of creating memories that last a lifetime.
