Practice for South Burlington athletes playing with the Burlington/Winooski Rams this season (grades 5-8, tackle) will begin on Monday, August 22 from 5-7 p.m. at Flynn Elementary School in Burlington. We will practice Monday through Friday this week. NFL Flag will not start until the first week of September, more info to follow on the start date.
Individual waivers need to be filled out by anyone who is looking to play in another town outside of South Burlington, which you can find here. You can submit the waiver to sbjuniorwolfpack@gmail.com and we will make sure that the league receives these.
Players at all levels will need to register here prior to practicing on Monday.
Paper copies of the waiver and registration will also be available on the first few days of practice next week if needed.
Sincerely,
South Burlington Youth Football

A few updates for those interested in playing this year ...
Please note that going forward our flag teams will be called the South Burlington Jr. Wolves and they will be part of NFL Flag. Originally, we tried to create another opportunity for children in South Burlington and start the South Burlington Jr. Wolves for all age levels, but the NVYFL denied our request to field a team. For those who do fill out a waiver and want to join Burlington/Winooski, the 5/6 and 7/8 tackle teams will be part of and referred to as the Burlington/Winooski Rams.
Individual waivers need to be filled out by anyone who is looking to play in another town outside of South Burlington, which you can find here. Whether you want to join the Burlington/Winooski Rams, or another team in the league, you can submit the waiver to sbjuniorwolfpack@gmail.com and we will make sure that the league receives these.
By filling out the waiver, your child does not need to play for the Rams and we would be willing to help facilitate the process no matter which team that they/you select.
We ask that you fill out the waiver and register (see below) as soon as possible though, as tackle (grades 5-8) will begin practice on Monday, August 22. The field location is being finalized and we will share that once it becomes official.
Players at all levels will need to register here prior to practicing. Paper copies will also be available on the first few days of practice next week if needed.
The coaches will include Burlington/Winooski head coach Torrey Allard, Sam Jackson, Mike Kelly, Ben Dickie, and other assistant coaches from Burlington/Winooski.

Dear South Burlington Football Families,
Even though we are in the thick of spring sports, my mind is on football today. Specifically, I am writing about a new football option for your child that is available for the fall 2022 season. The purpose of this note is to introduce you to the Jr. Wolves Youth Football program and let you know about the logistics for the upcoming year.
The goal of the Jr. Wolves program is to provide kids in South Burlington with the opportunity to play football in a fun, competitive, safe environment that’s predicated on the values of selflessness, teamwork and community. The coaching staff will be made up of people who have extensive experience working with kids in a variety of sports at high levels throughout Vermont. In the spirit of financial transparency and collaboration, the organization will be registered as a non-profit 501(c)3 and governed by a board of directors with extensive ties to football and the local community.
Our fundamental goal is to provide kids with a great football experience that will prepare them well for high school, but more importantly, provide them a chance to grow as a person through playing the game of football.
In terms of the experience, the team will practice three times per week at either Farrell or Dorset Park with games on Saturdays. The team will participate in the Northern Vermont Youth Football League and our hope is to field teams at the Flag (grades 1-4), Junior Varsity (grades 5-6), and Varsity (grades 7-8) levels.
As we begin to plan for our inaugural season, know that we will update you soon on a variety of logistics including total price per player, the process of obtaining equipment, and when fall practices will begin. Because we need to get a sense of numbers, please complete this Google Form if you are interested in having your child play for the Jr. Wolves.
Please look forward to further communication about the program in the weeks to come. Have a good rest of the school year!
On behalf of the coaching staff, know that we are extremely excited about this new opportunity.
Sincerely,
Coaches Sam Jackson, Mike Kelly, Ben Dickie, Nate Marrell, Greg Worgan, Gerry Couture & Jr. Wolves Moms
