Lexington Park district
Junior football league
Lexington's football tradition will continue as the Park District will again present a Youth Football Program for any child entering 3rd grade to 8th grade during the fall. Lexington is part of the Heart of Illinois Junior Football Conference.
This conference is comprised of teams from Blue Ridge, El Paso, Eureka, Fieldcrest, Fisher, Heyworth, Tri-Valley, and Lexington. The Heart of Illinois Junior Football Conference is divided into three divisions. Bantams (3rd and 4th grade), Junior Varsity (5th and 6th grade) and Varsity (7th and 8th grade). Any child entering 2nd grade and wishes to play for the Bantam division in the fall will need to be evaluated by the coaches and be approved to play by our commissioner.
Football practices are determined by the coaches at each level. Games are on Saturdays. The focus of youth football is for every player to play during a game. Coaches are instructed to teach the young football players how to throw a football, run with a football, block, tackle, and learn the rules of football in order to facilitate their progression towards high school football.
Registration for 2021 Fall season is March 9th - March 31st. Sign-up is electronic. Lexington Park District uses TeamSnap for registration and team management.
