Football (Fall)

Community Education and STMA Football are co-sponsoring two different fall tackle football programs. The goal of both programs is to provide a positive experience for students as they develop football skills, knowledge & sportsmanship. Parents and Players will have a choice between ‘Community Ed’ and ‘Travel’ Football.

For more information on the differences between In-House and Travel Football, please visit www.stmafootball.com

When registering for fall football, register based off of the grade your student will be in for the 2026/2027 school year.

In order to keep teams as balanced as possible, there will be NO buddy/team/coach/ride requests for 4th-6th grade outside of siblings and coach's kids. All practices and games will take place at the same time and the same location so players can ride together even if they play on different teams. Teams are created based on multiple metrics but primarily age, height, and weight, with other factors being taken into consideration a well. Registration closes July 26th at 11:59pm.

Reach out to Ben McNaboe for any registration related questions (E: benjaminmc@mystma.org)
