Dear Editor:
The Hudson County Youth Football League, (HCYFL) football season is about to start.There are five Hudson County teams, Bayonne, Hoboken, Jersey City PAL, North Bergen and Union City and two non-Hudson County teams, Brick and East Orange that make up the HCYFL. Football ages start at age 8 and run to 14* (*non-high school participate only). All squads have cheerleaders as well, same ages. As football season is underway, why not come out and see a good youth football tackle program. These kids are all super, during practice and during games. These young kids of today can someday be the high school stars of tomorrow. Won’t you come out and support your town’s youth football teams?
