The Missouri Wolverines Youth Football Program offers Tackle Football for 2nd and 3rd Graders in the Kansas City Missouri Metro Area. We are currently accepting players for the 2025 season. We play both league games as well as pre-season and post-season tournaments including show case games where we play teams from out-of-state which gives our players a great experience to be exposed to other teams and talent.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PLAY ON THE 3rd GRADE TEAM?

The player fees for the Missouri Wolverines Football Program is based on several factors including, but not limited to, the number of games we play, the gear we provide our players, the facilities we utilize for practices and games, tournament fees, league fees and the experience we provide our teams. We do require our players to participate in Team Fundraisers as well to offset tournaments and team costs.  Visit our participation fees page for a more detailed explanation of fees.
