This is a unique opportunity for our community. We are so thankful for the Yotes football team for taking the time as student athletes to help make this an affordable opportunity and to help grow youth football in Canyon Country. Let's show them some support.
It's important to remember why the fundamentals are the most important thing to learn.
Like Vince Lombardi said, "If you want to be successful, we’re going to remember the basics and make sure we’re executing the fundamentals. You never graduate past the basics. Yes, you build on them, but you never move past them. "
Thanks, 2C Football
