The Wissahickon Braves Athletic Association is a nonprofit youth sports organization that was formed in 1967. We are an organization that promotes youth football and cheerleading for children ages 3-15. We believe we build character in today’s youth by teaching respect, responsibility, fairness, and good sportsmanship. We are a longstanding member of the Keystone State League, which is one of the oldest and considered by many to be the most competitive youth football league in the area. As a member of the Keystone State League, the Wissahickon Braves tackle teams play competitive football against other area organizations in 4 weight classes 65lb, 75lb,90lb and 105lb.. We also have an instructional 55 pound weight class that plays a full schedule of games, yet offers an environment of learning about the game and sportsmanship. For our youngest participants and beginners (ages 3-6) we offer the opportunity for a travel flag team and an in-house flag league. The no-contact play allows our younger players to enjoy a fun and rewarding introduction to the game. .
The Wissahickon Braves proudly participates in USA Football’s “Heads up” initiative as part of our dedication to the safety of our athletes. This program provides education and resources for coaches, athletes and parents in order to provide the safest possible environment for completion. WBF is committed to providing a safe environment for our members and your children. All of our volunteers have background checks and clearances. Our coaches are dedicated to our players both on and off the field. They understand their role as role model and mentor. We believe we have the ultimate mix of long standing coaches and new coaches that work together to offer our kids the best possible experience. While many of our coaches had children involved at one point, they have continued or returned to offer the same experience to other children.
We have no geographic boundaries or limitations. We have players from not only our community but also from other parts of the city as well as the suburbs. We feel that is good for our players to have friends and teammates from many different communities as this helps creates friendships outside of their usual circles. These are friendships that the players will value and last a lifetime.
The Wissahickon Braves have a long standing tradition of excellence. We have had countless players from our program go on to play high school; collegiately and some have played professionally. We believe that playing against the best competition in the area sets the tone for hard work and dedication and helps to develop the attitude and drive needed for future success whether on or off the field.
