Youth Programming

Valley Lutheran Youth Programming provides developmental athletic programming for families throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region seeking a Christian team environment.

Current Grade School Athletic Opportunities

Developmental youth programming for youth from throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region.

Football

The growing youth football program currently supports three teams: one 7th/8th grade, one 5th/6th, and one 3rd/4th. But we are actively looking to grow to have one team at every grade level.

All teams play tackle, and participate in the Jackpine Youth Football League.

Cheer

The youth cheer program is a discipline of cheer that involves athletes who cheer in support of other youth sports, in this particular case cheering at youth football games. 

Our cheer team is comprised of middle school age athletes, with participants coming from several different grade schools.  Our great coaches are dedicated parents who volunteer their time and expertise while their child is involved in the sport.

Wrestling (begins late fall)

Offering a fun and encouraging environment to learn the sport of wrestling, while fostering a strong individual work ethic, self discipline, and teamwork.

This team participates in the TVC Middle School Wrestling league.
