The Dearborn Lions, a city-wide organization managed by the Dearborn Youth Football Association, offers football and cheerleading opportunities for children ages 6-14.
Kids ages 6-7 play flag football, while youngsters ages 8-13 play regular tackle football in one of three age divisions, each of which also offers cheerleading:
- Freshmen, ages 8-9
- Junior Varsity, ages 10-11
- Varsity, ages 12-14
Practices, conducted in the early evening, began the first week in August. The regular season, in which games are played at the local high schools, begins the last weekend in August. To register, or for more information, visit https://www.dearbornlions.com/ or call (313) 400-8824.
