FOOTBALL..... To some a sport but to us, its FAMILY
This section is to help some understand what Berkley Steelers Youth Football is all about.
SEASON OVERVIEW
Practice is held from beginning of August every day until the first game usually 530p-8pm, and then 4 days per week after that. We play 8 weeks, and if enough wins, we make the playoffs for a total of 11 weeks if we make it to the Superbowl. We will have scrimmages and games.
PRACTICE
Practice is held every day. We get asked a lot on "why so many days?". The kids have only about 14 days to get used to conditioning, hitting, learning plays and being ready for their 1st game. The coaches must work quickly to get all in place to be successful. Every kid is needed every day so that we learn together. A child missing too many practices, is not in shape or ready to help his team.
GAMES
Game day is a blast. The kids are expected to be at the game about 1.5 hour prior to the game, to get stretched out, go over plays, conduct weigh-in and then start. The games are Four (4) 12 minute quarters, with timeouts. They average about 1.5-2 hours depending on whistles and weather. This is the most exciting part of the season and once the kids play a game, they are hooked. Remember, there are Game Day Gate Entrance Fee's at all facilities.
POST SEASON
If our kids at any level have enough wins in their division (out of 12 teams) to be eligible for playoffs, we play an additional week. Win or Go home style, so if they win, we play again the following week. The ultimate goal is the SUPERBOWL, in which we have won 3 times in last 5 years, the TOP TEAM in the Oakland Macomb Youth Football Association.
LEAGUE
Our league is the OMYFA, which consists of teams from the surrounding area. We welcome all kids from ANY city to come play with us. Our Competitors are ; Royal Oak Titans, Clawson Mavericks, North Farmington West Bloomfield Vikings, Madison Heights Wolverines, Roseville Broncos, Troy Cowboys, Chesterfield Chargers, Romeo Bulldogs, Shelby Lions, Waterford Corsairs & Birmingham Patriots. Each Organization has squads from Flag to Varsity
SQUADS
The squads are broken down into Age as of August 1st.
Flag - 6-7 Year old
Freshman - 8-9 year old
Junior Varsity - 10-11 year old
Varsity 12-13 year old
UNIFORMS
Each player will receive practice pants & jersey, Game Pants, Game Socks, helmet, shoulder pads, knee pads and girdle. They are expected to bring their own Athletic Cup and Mouth Guard. They must take care of their uniform as replacement is not cheap.
