Our Story
After finishing a rewarding NFL career, Joey LaRocque embarked on an ambitious plan: reimagine youth non-contact football for boys and girls. His vision encompassed use of technology and other resources to provide a next generation experience for players, parents and coaches.
The Gridiron Football Team has designed multiple formats of game play and skills development for boys and girls ages 5 to 17, including Flex Football which replicates the safe, low contact and high speed experience used by all NFL teams for in-season practice.
Whether you’re joining Gridiron for a safe, fun and fast Recreational Flag game, playing with your team in a Competitive Flag or 7-on-7 experience or putting in the work in a fast-paced Flex Football game, we guarantee a great game day experience.
Today, Gridiron is the fastest growing non-contact youth football league on the planet and is now operating leagues over 25 states.
GAMEDAY PROMISE
Our commitment to parents, players and coaches is to provide the best game day experience possible, focused on creating safe and fun youth football events for all. We take this commitment to heart on and off the field, and it is manifest every game day. From game play on the field to service and support by our dedicated game day staff and operations team — we place customer experience first.
The Gridiron Game Day Promise means you can rely on us to provide a consistently exceptional experience no matter what game style you play or where you play it.
