Opening Day A Big Hit!

The first gameday of the spring season was a huge hit on Saturday!  It was terrific to see all the players, coaches and parents out doing their thing in the sunshine!!  Ladysmith's Pee-Wee squad sure looks like has come a country mile over the course of a year and Oceanside's Jr. Bantam squad is surely a welcome addition to JB play!

What really stood out on the field was how much sound, quality, fundamental football was being played.  There is a very veteren feel to the whole group and the brand new players totally fit in.

We are certainly still looking for more players and there is lots of room on the rosters at both levels (Pee-Wee age 9, 10 and Jr. Bantam age 11,12, 13).  Players interested in joining need only to come by one of our Tuesday /Thursday 6-7 PM practices out on the JB HS field know as the Canem Cage and approach Coach Cooper.  We'd love to have you out!

Next Saturday's games kick off at 10 AM for the Pee-Wee tilts and 11:30 AM for the Jr. Bantam tilts!

See you all out on the ol ball field!
