Welcome to the website for the Rockford Rocket & Flag Football Program (RRFP) of Rockford, Michigan...home of the 2008 Division 1 High School State Football Champions, Rockford Rams.  

If you're new to the program, you should be able to get most of your questions answered by looking around on the website.  Start in the FAQ sections to the left, and if you still have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us directly.  Contact information can be found clicking on the "Contacting Us" tab.   As we get further into the season, we'll be publishing game schedules and important announcements weekly, so check back regularly.  We offer two programs:

  • Flag Football for kids ages 4 – 7. 
  • Rocket Football for kids ages 8 – 14. 
The RRFP is a member of the Southern division of the NRFL (Northern Rocket Football League).  Current members of the Southern division include Belding, Caledonia, Cedar Springs, GR Christrian, Comstock Park, Coopersville, E. Grand Rapids,  Greenville, Kenowa Hills, Kent City, Kentwood, Lowell, North Park, Northpointe, Northview, and Sparta.   This list will grow in 2009. 
 
The NRFL, Inc. is a non-profit organization established to promote the development and maintenance of a supervised, youth-based football program serving the communities of Western and Mid Michigan.   Here are keys things that you should know about how the program is run.  Paraphasing the mission statement of the NRFL...
  •  Although any sport is competitive, this competitiveness is not emphasized, at least in the perspective of winning or losing. .
  • .. every player participates as equally as possible.  ...no official standings kept and no championships awarded. 
  •  Teams are constructed through the league sponsored draft process.
  • ...and in scheduling an effort is made to match teams of similar strengths.   
Rockford, as well as every other member of the NRFL, is a proud member of the PCA (Positive Coaching Alliance) since 2004.    There are more details about the PCA in the box to the right.

Positive Coaching Alliance

The Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) is a nonprofit organization based at Stanford University with the mission to transform youth sports so sports can transform youth. PCA was created to transform the culture of youth sports to give all young athletes the opportunity for a positive, character-building experience.  We strongly endorse the PCA goals and overall vision here in the Rockford Rocket Football Program.
