Founded in 1994, The Evanston Junior Wildkits Football & Cheerleading program is a grassroots youth mentoring & football organization that became a part of  The Chicagoland Youth Football League, which is comprised of teams from the North Shore of Illinois.

The purpose of the program is to teach fundamental Football & Life skills to players between kindergarten and eighth grades. We also strive to develop each participant’s sense of self-esteem and community pride, and enhance their understanding of the importance of teamwork. We believe these skills help players further their football aspirations as they transcend to the high school level.

Our three core values are A - C - T
Academics
Character
Teamwork

With this in mind, we maintain very close ties with the ETHS Football coaching staff and structure our strategies in a manner that is similar and consistent with the ETHS Football program.

We have also implemented educational and behavioral standards that each player is required to abide by in order to maintain eligibility within the program and to ensure that they are following a successful path into high school.

If the only thing your player learns is football we have failed as a program.
 
The Program is open to both boys and girls alike for the following  levels of competition:
