Why – Why did this club form? Why do coaches and athletes like participating in Saints Football? And why should people look at getting into this sport/club in the future?

We formed out of necessity, many of the local schools were unable to field a full team so it was determined that joining the programs together would be in the best interest of growing football. The Saints do more than just play football, our roster if filled with young leaders who have diverse interests and backgrounds. We care about the whole person, and want to help them reach their potential on and off the field.
