Football Information
Football is a fall sport with practices starting in late July and games running through October. Sign-ups are usually handled in April.
St Patrick participates in flag football grades 1-4 and the cost of registration includes a personal football jersey.
Grades 5-6 and 7-8 usually combine with Immaculate Heart of Mary in Cuyahoga Falls. St. Patrick does not support its own Football program. 5-6 grade is usually 8 vs 8 on a smaller field for safety and 7-8 is 11 vs 11 football in preparation for high school football.
Contact the Athletic Director to confirm the current season’s team partnerships, grade divisions, registration dates, fees, and practice arrangements.
Review registration and participation forms and find published games through CYO schedules and locations.
