THANK YOU to OUR SPONSORS for all of your support!!!
Can I coach?
Yes, we are always in need of both Football and Cheerleading, Head and Assistant coaches. Coaches need to complete and submit a coaching application to the board for review and background check. Assistant coaches are chosen by the head coach and they also must submit application for board approval and background check. A $1 fee will be charged to each applicant to cover the background check. Each head coach must be CPR/AED certified; the MMRFL will provide this training before season begins.

Can I coach my own son's/daughters team?
Yes, however only the Head Coach's child can be placed on a team prior to the draft.
Can girls play?
Yes, girls are welcome.
How are player positions determined?
This is ultimately the coachs decision and is based on many things including player size, speed, experience, and most importantly safety. We will get player/parent input and every attempt will be made to place the player at their position of choice.
Is any effort made to make sure everyone gets to play, at every game?
Yes, The MMRFL mandates that a player must play at least 4 plays per half and this is a minimum.
Can my daughter cheer for my sons team?
Yes, cheerleaders and their siblings will be placed on the same teams whenever possible and practical.
Why are there only 6 games?
The MMRFL establishes their rules based on the MHSAA rules which state that children under 9th grade cannot play more than 6 games in a season.
When will practices be?
Your coach will set the practice schedule for team however we recommend practicing M, T, Th, & F from 5:30-7:30 PM before schools starts and 5:30-7PM after the school year begins.
Why do we practice 4 days a week?
We practice 4 days a week for many reasons, football is a contact sport and it takes time and repetition to teach proper tackling/blocking technique which are important from a safety standpoint. Football also has more than 22 positions that need to be taught and again this takes time.
