PLAYING TIME

GYSF teams are constructed through a Draft Process and No Player will be able to request a specific coach.  This has been the policy for many years and has proven to be successful.  Teams are broken into Legacy and Metro Divisions. 

For grades 4th - 8th, GYSF will have teams that will play in both levels (Legacy and Metro).  For 3rd grade, there will be no division separation.  The Legacy teams will be composed of our more experienced players, while the Metro teams will provide a platform for our less experienced players to develop their skills and gain valuable playing time. Our coaches will work with each player, irrespective of the team they are on, to help them realize their full potential.  

We are confident that this structure will continue to improve the overall quality of our program and will also provide our players with valuable experiences and opportunities to grow both on and off the field. Our goal is to help each player develop, achieve success, and continue to enjoy playing the game. 

As the safety of all players continues to grow GYSF has specific rules on playing time per player.   Each level will have a different amount of required playing time rules.


3rd & 4th grade - 8 plays per game
5th grade - 6 plays per game
6th grade - 4 plays per game
7th & 8th grade - no minimum play rule


As the players reach the 7th & 8th grade levels and we are preparing them for High School, we have met with the High School coaches for suggestions for practices, drills, etc.  We are excited to continue to build our relationship with the High School coaching staffs and develop our youth as student athletes of the Gretna Community and serve as a feeder teams to Gretna High School & Gretna East High School.

** Due to the number of Qualified/Certified Coaches, most grades will only be able to support a certain number of players per team in order to ensure quality playing time.  A Pre-draft workout will be held on Monday, June 9, 2025 @ 6pm - Gretna High School Football Field (11335 S. 204th St).  It is imperative that ALL players be at this pre-draft workout.
