Liberty Junior Football Program:

Liberty Junior Football is a youth football organization that serves children who live in the Issaquah School District and would attend Liberty High School based on school boundaries. Liberty is a proud member of the Greater Eastside Junior Football Association.

Our Goals:

  • Foster sportsmanship and teamwork
  • Build self-confidence and life lessons that translate to all aspects of life
  • Provide coaches who are dedicated to the development of fundamental skills and high personal chaster
  • Establish ONE Team, ONE Community 

What we teach our young athletes: 

Football is a unique sport in that every individual contributes to the team's collective success. A lineman has to make his block to free the running back. A linebacker has to read properly to put himself into a position to make a play for the rest of his teammates. Through these individual responsibilities, the player develops important team-building and life skills. Some of these life skills include personal responsibility, attention to detail, conflict resolution, self-reflection, mental and physical toughness, teamwork, goal setting, and personal resolve.

When does the season start and what's the commitment? 

Our season starts on August 12, 2024, and runs through mid-November. In general, the teams practice five days a week for the first three weeks and then drop down to three days a week with a game on Saturday. Every team plays a minimum of nine games and may play additional games in the playoffs. The GEJFA championship games are generally played on Saturdays and start in November.
