Our mission is to build leaders by promoting teamwork, sportsmanship, character development and community fellowship through cheer and football participation. Specifically working with Dexter Community school-aged kids, grades 1-6, develop a passion and love for the game of football through learning and developing their skill sets. The Dexter Community is very lucky to have dedicated parents who are willing to become our knowledgable and encouraging coaches. If you have interest in helping coach a team, please indicate this when registering your child(ren).
