Junior Knight Football 2026 (for 7th–8th grade boys)
and NEW information about 4th-6th grade boys tackle football team!
Re
The Junior Knight Football Program has been building tough, confident football players since 2001 - and chances are, the Luther High varsity players you see under the Friday Night Lights started right here!
If you are entering 7th or 8th grade in the 2026-27 school year, this is your chance to step into real tackle football. You'll learn the game from coaches who love football and want to help you get stronger, faster, and smarter on the field - whether you've never played before or you've been throwing spirals since first grade.
You'll practice and play on the actual Luther High School Fields, learn the skills and terminology used at the high school level, and compete in weekly games - just like real varsity players.
What to expect?
-
2 practices per week (starting the week of August 17 - updated)
-
1 game per week (September through October 13)
-
Home games on the Luther High School game field
-
All players are provided a mouthguard.
-
Program cost will be $175.00 and includes rental of the following equipment: helmet, shoulder pads, pants, game and practice jersey, and knee pads. Participants are required to purchase a football "girdle". Cost for this is approximately $40. All players should have football cleats
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME 4TH-6TH GRADE FOOTBALL?
We have an exciting new opportunity that will be available to boys in grades 4-6 starting this fall season. In conjunction with the Morrie Miller Youth Football League, we will offer an introductory tackle football experience for our Luther Association youth. This football experience would provide instruction to learn fundamental football skills and a chance to participate in competitive games, emphasizing safety and sportsmanship. This league is great for beginners!
Provided there is enough interest from our Luther Association families (some already participate independently in this league), we will offer a Luther Junior Knight team that would practice at Luther. We need 15 players per team in order to hold practices at Luther. Currently we are a bit short at the 6th grade level.
What to expect?
-
2 practices per week (starting August 24 and ending October 11) These practices would be at Luther High School if we have a full team (15 players).
-
Games would be held on Saturdays at various locations in the Winona area.
-
Program cost will be $105.00 if registered before May 29. (A new official registration link will be provided on May 26.
-
Complete the Registration/Survey Form Link below. Once you select grades 4, 5, or 6 you will automatically be taken to the survey question. Please complete no later than May 25. noon.
-
We have had great interest to date. 4th Grade (7), 5th Grade (12), 6th Grade (8)
-
We're hoping the 6th grade number of participants will increase!
