Default football

There are a couple of different football leagues for kids. There is youthmetro and also PAL. I know with PAL the child has to be 9 and weigh at least 70 lbs. Their website is:
Police Athletic League, Ft. Wayne IN

There is also a NFL Flag Football league if this is more you style. Here is a website to start with for that one:
JAM Fantasy Sports (http://eteamz.active.com/JAMFantasySports/ - broken link)

Also if your children are old enough they can play for their school teams.

Football isn't really that popular in Fort wayne. I'd get your kids involved in ice hockey or soccer which are very popular and well organized in Fort Wayne. Plus, they will get much more exercise in those sports.

Fort Wayne has several youth football leagues....and in my opinion...it is very popular. My son plays for Metro Youth Sports League....I had a not so nice experience with PAL, therefore I would never recommend that league. Although, I know that it is one of the premier leagues...second to Metro of course....LOL. Also, there is the HAP league...not sure about them.

My son played in the Metro League in Fort Wayne, which is divided into districts so that you do not have to travel too far for practices and games. He had a blast! I would recommend it to anyone's child who is interested in full contact football.
Fort Wayne also has a PAL football league, as well as other sports. I have a few neices and nephews that have played in the league and were happy with the organized events.
