Game Days (Tentative)
Air-It-Out Passing League
We are excited to announce we will be doing the passing league again this year. It will run through the Month of May and will be open to any athletes registered for the upcoming season going into 2nd-6th grade. We will email out all the details once they are finalized. Don't miss out!
2024 Tentative Schedule:
The Casper Junior Football League (CJFL) started in 2013 as a group of parents that wanted to provide an opportunity for children in 3rd and 4th grade (junior division) to play tackle football in Casper, Wyoming. The following year (2014) the Casper Junior Football League was officially incorporated into a 501 (c) 3 non-profit entity.
In 2018 the CJFL officially added 1st and 2nd grade tackle football, our Pee-Wee division. Our pee-wee division is 8 man football that follows all the criteria for USA Football's Rookie Tackle program. We are currently the only league that offers tackle for 1st and 2nd grade in the state!
In 2018 the CJFL also added our Spirit Squad division! This spirit squad is for any student in grades 1st -6th! Our spirit squad cheers at all of our games, the junior division playoffs with a half time show during the championship game!
In 2021 our Board of Directors voted to start our own 5th/6th grade division! We are calling this our Senior Division! We are the only league in the state of Wyoming that offers tackle football for 1st -6th grade! Our goal is to make Casper the premier tackle football town in Wyoming!
In 2021, the league also added a competitive travel team, dubbed the CJFL Select that competed in an extended season. This is a special season made up of players selected by the coaches to compete around the state! In our first year we finished the season 2-1 with win's over Cheyenne and a rematch win over Gillette! We took out select team to Laramie where we competed in the Snowy Range Showdown at War Memorial Stadium! The first time 3rd/4th graders competed in the tournament and played on the legendary Field!
In 2022 we took our Senior Division Team and competed in our first National Tournament at the NYFC in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving Week! We finished 1-1 and were crowned National Runner-Up in the 11U National Division!
In 2023 the Board of Directors voted to restructure the league issued the following statement.
Over the past few years, the CJFL has grown substantially. We now have over 550 kids participating across all of our divisions. The biggest area of growth has been in our Pee-Wee division which doubled in size from 60 kids in 2021 to 121 kids in 2023. We have also seen substantial growth in our newly formed Senior Division. With all of that in mind and the player development we are seeing though out the league due to players playing earlier, we will be restructuring our divisions starting in 2024.This decision was based on research, USA football recommendations and observations from our coaches, directors and feedback from parents and educational personnel. This will align us more with the school district grade school sports, the recreation department sports and more with USA football philosophy of player development.
Each division will be designed to transition the kids to the next division. Each progression will also build on new rules that will transition the kids into full WHSAA football rules safely which will be played in our Junior High Division. The focus of this division will be to prepare kids to transition into the 7th & 8th grade middle school sports. This will also give us the ability to focus on age-appropriate fundamental drills during our group practices that have been the staple of our league’s philosophy.
Below is a list of our restructured division breakdowns.
Today, the league is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of parents as well as individuals that want to see the opportunity to get as many of our local youth involved in athletics as possible!
All of our coaches are required to register with USA Football and be youth tackle certified and are required to take a background check.
