We invite you to learn more about Bedford Youth Football. Beginning in the 2008 season Bedford will now have three football teams in the township. The Lions area is the southwest portion of Bedford. The addition of the third team to Bedford will offer more youths in the township the opportunity to play and enjoy the game of football. Interested players must live in Bedford Township to play. All three of these teams will be playing in the WJFL. The WJFL has been playing youth football for over 50 years in the area and is the second oldest youth football league in the country. We are governed by high school rules as well as league rules. Practices are 3 -5 days a week depending on age with games on Sundays. All football equipment is provided other than shoes. The season begins around mid August and ends the first week of November.

Each team has three age groups.
