Our football program is primarily for rising 6th - 8th grade but we do allow rising 5th grade players to play up.
K-5 flag and tackle players are encouraged to join the Johns Creek Hawks football program (jchawks.org)
PLAYING LOCATIONS & TIMES
Our program is volunteer based, so our operating hours are outside normal business hours to help accommodate working families.
Football is a team sport, coaches expect players to be at all practices and games. If a player does not attend , it is disruptive and unfair to the other participants. We ask that during our official season & post season, you not have other commitments during times Mon-Wed and Saturdays. Please always communicate with your head coach if your child is unable to make a practice or game as soon as possible , so the coach can rearrange any plans he may have.
Our home field is located at Northview High School , 10625 Parsons Rd, Johns Creek, GA 30097.
Practices are generally held at the main football field. However, if unavailable , we utilize the Abbotts Bridge Rd field and the Parsons Rd field. In the rare events that the school is unavailble we may utilize other locations.
We will officially practice Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 6:30PM - 8:30PM. Exception: Until the beginning of the school, practices may occur Monday-Friday (TBD).
Our games are on Saturdays at various times. Our opponents are in the Metro Atlanta area against teams that are also in the GMSAA.

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
In order for our program to operate , be successful and keep fees low; we must have parent volunteering and involvement. Each family is required to fulfill (3) spots during the season. Our volunteer coordinator will be in charge of scheduling these opportunities. If given the opportunity by the league , the Jr Titans may also host jamboree and playoff events , as we have one of the large facilities to accommodate these events. We ask that our community help us with these events as well , as they assist us with fundraising.
