are you ready for some (youth) football????
|
Ray Evans,
President of Matteson Bears Youth Association, said
"they have over 300 players and cheerleaders that
will be participating in their program this year."
The Matteson Bear Youth Association are a part of the Will-Cook-Kankakee Youth Association (WCK), which oversees 12 teams with five separate levels (midgets, widgets, peewee, junior varsity and varsity). WCK sets and enforces a strict age and weight matrix, which reduces the risk and reality of injuries.
WCK is not just for the boys playing football, but also the female athlete cheerleaders. “The cheerleading program is very popular and continues to grow every year.” says COACH Monica Stevens, Cheer Director of the Matteson Bears. "ANOTHER QUOTE." Cheerleading is one of the fastest growing sports in America today. According to ESPN Magazine, there are an estimated 1.8 million cheerleaders between the ages of 6 and 14 years old. It is said that baseball is America’s pastime but football has proved to be America’s love, and this affection is no different even at the youth level. Will-Cook-Kankakee league is a non-profit, volunteer organization, that promotes health, fair play, sportsmanship, and education, through youth athletics. So, if you want to enjoy "pure" football in a community-filled environment, come on out... you won't be disappointed. For the 2011 schedules, click here. |
