The Rockford Rocket Football Program, RRF, is a community based program in Rockford, Michigan, whose mission is to provide a safe and fun environment for learning and playing youth football. The program is for kids aged 4-14, and participants do not have to be a Rockford resident to participate. RRF is a member of the Northern Rockeet Football League, NRFL and the 2009 Mothersell Award Winner. We offer 2 programs:

Flag Football: This is a low key introduction to the game of football for kids aged 4 – 7 (as of 11/1 of the current year). We divide the kids into 2 sub-groups so the kids will be playing with other kids that are roughly the same age. The two sub-groups are for kids aged 4 & 5 and another aged 6 & 7. There are just 4 games over a 5 week period. League size and participation is dependant on coaching participation. The Flag Program continues to grow at 10-20% each year. Coaching participation is becoming a major impact on maintaining the program and limiting sign ups. Click on the ‘’FLAG FOOTBALL FAQ’ tab for more information.
Rocket Football: This is our tackle football program and kids aged 8 – 14 (as of 11/1 of the current year) are eligible to play. Again, players are divided in separate sub-groups so each will be playing with others that are roughly the same age. The age groups are 8 & 9, 10 & 11, and 12 to 14. There are 7 games over a 7 week period. Click on the ‘ROCKET FOOTBALL FAQ’ tab for more information.

RRF is member of the NRFL. The NRFL is a non-profit organization established to promote the development and maintenance of a supervised, youth-based football program serving the many of the communities of Western/Mid Michigan.
