Join Drew Levinson and Ricky Dessen, and our fabulous coaching staff for TACKLE FOOTBALL. Football is played nationwide and finally in our own backyard. The Yorkville Eagles are affiliated with the New York City Pop Warner Football League (www.nycpopwarner.com). Safety is our number one priority and all games are officiated by high school certified referees. The Eagles are divided into four divisions. Each division will have a maximum of 30 players and will be guaranteed three professional coaches. Tackle football is demanding and we expect 100% attendance and cooperation.
GOLDEN EAGLE AWARD
Yorkville's Golden Eagle Award was awarded for the first time to a player in our tackle football program in 2009, our second season playing tackle football. This award was conceived by our Pee Wee Coach Anthony "Coco" Thompson.
Coach Coca felt strongly that an award should be given each year to a player that has the following qualities on and off the field. The winner of this prestigious award must be a good team member, he must show leadership to his teammates and to those on all Yorkville tackle teams. He is a player who comes to all practices and gives his all, he can stand in for the coaches when they are working on something else. Our Golden Eagle player is someone who always carries himself proudly yet humbly, someone that shows good sportsmanship to his teammates and his opponents. He is a person that the other boys look to for answers and he encourages every boy to be his best. He is proud of another players success and lets him know it. Voted by our coaches, this years player for all to aspire to is Bobby Franzese.
The Yorkville Youth Athletic Association is proud to present the Golden Eagle Award to:
Bobby Franzese 2009
Congratulations Bobby, we are all very lucky to have you as a member of the Yorkville Eagles and everyone, yes especially your parents, is so very proud of you.
