The City of Selma Parks & Recreation has an outstanding youth football program. Our program is designed for age groups 5 to 12. The participants are organized into 4 age groups drafted onto a variety of teams.
Our wonderful volunteer coaches put in an overwhelming amount of time to teach and enhance the skills of our youth in football. This program consists of a complete regular season, resulting into a championship tournament. Season begins during the month of August and end during the month of October. Awards are given to each team at the conclusion of the seasons.
