Edwardsville Little Tigers is a tackle football program offered to 5-11 year old youth in the Edwardsville area. Little Tigers is designed to develop youth skills and sportsmanship with the purpose of better preparing players for the junior high and high school football program.
Optional practices start in July. Official practices will start in late July. Games will begin in late August. Games will be played on Saturdays or Sundays. Full game schedules are available after Tri-County Football League sets the schedule – the weekend before Labor Day.
The season will culminate in November with playoffs.
Friday Night Lights is an event that provides our families time to socialize and learn who makes up our the teams. Players, cheerleaders and coaches are announced to the crowd. This is a time to celebrate as the season is almost underway! Bounce houses, games and refreshments are enjoyed following the announcement of the teams and squads.
Our Orange & Black Scrimmage is our season opener. It's a family friendly time where our Little Tigers face off against each other to prepare for the season. The event is held at the EHS Sports Complex. Concessions are available. Admission is typically a dry or canned good donation that benefits our Ed-Glen Food Pantry.
Every year that we are able, we hold an ADULTS only event (Glo Bingo, Music Trivia, etc) to help raise funds to purchase equipment or uniforms. The event is typically held in September. Two tickets are included in your registration fees.
