The game of football has been under a microscope for the last few years.   People have questions about the safety of the game.  Because of that, all levels of football have had to examine EVERY aspect of the game.  This has resulted in football becoming safer at an exponential rate over the last five years.  To put it simply, in terms of safety, this is not the game your Dad played and it's certainly not the game your Grandpa played.  In fact, it is not even the game your older brother played five years ago.  We can assure you - in 2021, football does not have a safety problem, it has an information problem.  Because of the changes to the sport and the microscope looking at every detail, North Side Youth Football has implemented the changes necessary in order to considers itself the leader in youth sports safety in Chicago.  These are just some of the things we offer that differentiate our program from other youth sports organizations.
