Program Expectations

The Jr. Griffins Football Club is committed to excellence and respect for everyone involved in our program. To facilitate this mission, we have outlined a list of five key expectations for players, parents, and coaches. Failure to meet these expectations may result in reduced playing time or other consequences.
