JETS

We've worked hard over the years to make our program better and better. We are constantly coming up with ideas to implement new safety measures including our helmet rotation program, concussion testing and certification as well as Heads-Up Certification. Safety comes above all else. We appreciate all the help and input we get from our parents and coaches. You all are the heartbeat of our league.

The park has worked on upgrading the fields in the Jim Barnett Park (Preston Fields) to create 2 turf game fields and they've worked on helping us upgrade our Practice fields. We rely on the money we receive from our registrations and donations from local businesses to make all this happen. We have so many people on board that donate time and/or funds to help us continue to thrive.
