Dear parents,

Welcome to the Hart Rec youth football program! For the 10th year, the tackle football program will be affiliated with the Pop Warner Football league. Hart Area Rec provides tackle football equipment (helmets, game socks, shoulder pads, jerseys and mouth guards) for Athletes to use, FREE.  Tackle football is offered to children, age 8 to 13-years old. Age is set on August 1st, 2025. Parents are expected to purchase cleats and padded pants for their Athletes.    

Notes:

Playing in the Pop Warner Division does mean we will travel North, I have asked that the keep it travel north as limited as possible as I know that can be a stretch, so hopefully Benzie is the farthest we have to go, with that said if there are families or athletes that need help getting Athlete's to games know that there are many volunteers willing to help.

Tackle practices begin in August with a week of conditioning before pads are handed out. Games start September. And the season is finished in October.

We will be fundraising and require all athletes to participate, we are a Non-Profit and need to raise funds to keep these sports available to our youth Athletes.

Head Coaches for this season will be:

5-6th JV: Scott Umstead

3-4th Jason Rose

1-2 and 3rd Flag: Victoria Gutierrez

As always, if you can volunteer your time to help make this program successful, then please, volunteer to head coach or assist any team we can always use more staff to help us. if you have any question regarding this please reach out to Scott Umstead (231) 736-0305
