WILLIAMSBURG YOUTH FOOTBALL & CHEERLEADING LEAGUE
As we gear up for an exciting 2025 season, we couldn't be more thrilled to share our plans for the upcoming year! This will mark the 33rd year of Hornets Football, and there's so much to look forward to, including the introduction of new players and coaches joining our extraordinary community.
Hornets Football has a rich and proud history, characterized by numerous championships and a legacy of athletes who have continued to excel at top high schools across James City County and beyond. Our former players and cheerleaders have paved the way for success, and we hope to inspire the next generation to follow in their footsteps.
At our core, we prioritize safety, professionalism, and the fundamentals of the game—while ensuring that fun remains at the heart of our program! Our coaching staff, composed of dedicated former players, is committed to sharing their wealth of experience and knowledge with our young athletes in a way that’s age-appropriate and easy to grasp. Rest assured, every coach leads by example and only asks players to push their limits based on their own experiences.
Football is a demanding sport that challenges athletes both physically and mentally. We go above and beyond to guarantee the safety and well-being of our players. Through registration fees and fundraising efforts, we invest in the best certified safety equipment available for every level of Hornet football.
