Thanks to our sponsors, the use of Xavier's facilities and infrastructure support, a pledge from FVL's Friends of Foxes boosters and partnerships with USA Football and United Fundraising, we are excited to inform you of our ability to offer a 60% reduction in your player's registration fee.

The new registration fee will be $100, which is comparable to the cost of playing Pop Warner football and the lowest possible cost that can be offered by a football program receiving no financial assistance from the school or city.  Because Fox Valley Saints is a new program, we will have new equipment purchases to make in addition to in season expenses, and to address these costs we have arranged a fundraiser that will be simple and streamlined for your player.  The fundraiser will include incentives to make it fun and be held the first week of practice, we will provide all players and families with further details after registration is complete.  

For those who choose to opt out of the fundraiser a $150 donation option is available.

We remain committed that cost will never be a barrier to play football or a hardship on families of players, scholarships are still available, please contact foxvalleysaints@gmail.com to apply.

As you may know, as of 2020 Pop Warner ended their football programs for the 6/7th grade levels.  That left players who attend Christian schools without an option for 6th and 7th grade football.  However, in 2020 the Xavier and Fox Valley Lutheran school systems stepped up and agreed to support a cooperative team to give your son or daughter an opportunity to play football! 

The Fox Valley Saints include 6th grade and 7th grade teams to join our existing 8th grade Xavier/FVL cooperative team and will also be practicing at Xavier Middle School.  Rather than combining different grades as Pop Warner has, we have decided to combine players bound for Catholic and Lutheran school systems at the 6th grade, 7th grade and 8th grade levels to compete in the established GLIFC schedule and plan a fun, positive and inclusive program for all three levels!
