St. Cloud Area School District 742 Community Education

Come join the Tech Football Family! This is a padded, full contact football league offered to students at Clearview, Lincoln, Oak Hill, Talahi and South Junior High Schools who will be entering the 5th and 6th grades for the 2025-26 school year. Practices are held twice a week in the evenings and games are played on Saturday mornings.  There are approximately 15-20 players per team. Students will learn the Tech Tiger fundamentals of blocking and tackling, develop both ball skills and take-away skills, and learn the offensive and defensive schemes and techniques used at Tech. Sportsmanship and teamwork will be emphasized throughout. 6th graders attending South Jr. High should sign up for the school they attended as 5th graders. Pads and other equipment will be provided. An informational letter will go out to all registrants in mid August. A t-shirt will be provided (please indicate YOUTHS, M, L or ADULTS, M, L, XL, XXL). Bring to class: athletic shoes, mouth guard, athletic supporter and plenty of water.

All future Tiger Football Players are encouraged to participate. If you have any questions, or would like to inquire about scholarship opportunities, please contact Community Education or Tech Head Football Coach: jon.benson@isd742.org or 320-493-3749.
