Willye White Wolverines
The Junior Bears is a tackle football program with two divisions; the 8-10-year-old pee wee division and the 11-13-year-old varsity division. In a season which runs from August to November, players will enjoy opening ceremonies, clinics, and league play, along with the championship game and closing ceremonies. Transportation, some equipment, and giveaways are provided. Games are played at several locations throughout the city, usually on Saturdays. The championship Mum Bowl is held at historic Soldier Field at the end of the season. This program is coordinated and administered by the Chicago Park District’s Athletics department, and partially funded by a grant from the Chicago Bears.” Source: Chicago Park District.
This is a very popular program with the players as well as the parents. Over the years a great following of parents attending all games has been growing. In addition to the football team, a cheer-leading team has been added. Please enroll to play! We need both age groups. Practice begins after the July 4th holiday. Registration may be completed at the facility or online. For more information please contact the staff at 773-262-5051.
Help Is Needed
We desperately need to replace the very worn out uniforms the Junior Bears use. We’re trying to raise $2000 this year to replace the uniforms the players use. A tax deductible donation would be greatly appreciated. Please click on the pay pal button to the right to donate. A thank you letter will be sent to you for tax deduction purposes.
