Tackle Football

LWYS tackle football is a competitive level travel football club.  Our club is committed to supporting the development of its athletes on and off the field. Our coaches teach the fundamentals of the game of football and promote a sense of sportsmanship and fair play in a positive environment.

As a charter member in 1999, LWYS tackle football competes in the Chicagoland Youth Football League (TCYFL).  TCYFL is the largest independent youth tackle football league in the US with teams from 38 communities based throughout Chicagoland and southeastern Wisconsin.

All tackle athletes are assigned teams based on Age, Weight and Skill.  In 2022, our club had 235 athletes participating on 11 different teams.  Those teams are comprised of the below 6 levels.

  1. Bantam
  2. Featherweight
  3. Middleweight
  4. Lightweight
  5. Junior Varsity
  6. Varsity

The tackle season begins late July with evaluations and ends with Championship weekend in early November.  All teams play a 9-game regular reason.
