Where Young Athletes Grow
The Jr. Wolverines are Ann Arbor’s community youth football and cheer program - open to boys and girls in grades 2 - 8, no experience required. Season begins August 2026.
"Junior Football in Ann Arbor was where it all began for me. Through football, I learned powerful lessons about self-discipline, perseverance, and teamwork while playing the game I loved, with boys who became lifelong friends. If you ask me, there is no better sport for teaching the most important lessons in life."
~ Jim Harbaugh
Get to Know Us
The Jr. Wolverines (officially Ann Arbor Junior Football & Cheer) have been developing young athletes in Ann Arbor for decades. Our program is rooted in a simple belief: football and cheer teach lessons that last a lifetime.
We compete in the Kensington Valley Youth Football Conference (KVYFC), one of Michigan’s premier youth football leagues. Our teams play four home games at Skyline High School and four away games each season, with playoffs in October. Practice begins in August at Pioneer High School.
As a fully volunteer-run nonprofit, every dollar goes back to our athletes. Financial aid scholarships are available.
