Fall Tackle.
Register Now.
Fall tackle for grades 3 through 6 is open for registration. Full pads, certified gear, COYFL league play. Volunteer-run and built to develop kids, not just win games.
Skills That Stick
Football teaches more than blocking and catching. Kids learn to compete, lose, pick themselves up, and count on each other. That stuff follows them off the field.
Fundamentals
Blocking, tackling, routes, footwork, reading the field. Coaches build the foundation from day one.
Teamwork
No one wins alone. They figure that out pretty fast when every play depends on every player doing their job.
Sportsmanship
Respect for coaches, teammates, and opponents. It's a rule here, not a suggestion.
Community
Jr Pacers represent Delaware. Players wear that every time they take the field.

Equipment Pickup Day
Every tackle player needs to bring two documents to Equipment Pickup Day. A board member verifies age and grade on the spot before handing out gear.
Proof of Age
Bring your kid's birth certificate. They won't keep the original, but they may photograph it to build the player's profile folder for officials.
Proof of Grade
Bring a grade card or official school document. They may photograph the player alongside it to complete the profile.
OHSAA Physical Required
Every tackle player needs a completed OHSAA physical from a licensed medical professional before the first practice on July 31. No physical, no practice. No exceptions.
Download the official OHSAA Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation form and bring it to your doctor's appointment.
