Welcome to Rockford Youth Football. We are very excited about the upcoming season of play. Listed below is all of the information you need to know. Go Rockets!

Rockford is now part of the North Star Youth Football League. North Star comprises 9 teams: Rockford, STMA, Elk River, Rogers, Becker, Big Lake, Monticello, Zimmerman, and St. Francis. 

Schedules will be structured where our away games that are farther away are scheduled for Saturday mornings.

We also welcome gently used cleats for hand-me-downs for those in need or simply don't want to buy cleats because kids grow like weeds (it takes a village!). Just please bring them to equipment handouts and we will keep them in our bins for those who need a new pair.
