Little Knights Football was established in 1953 and with the help of volunteers, players, parents, and family, have been a strong asset to the Belleville, IL area and surrounding high school programs for over 70 years. We have experienced coaching at every level.  All of our head coaches are USA Football certified. The Little Knights offer children in the age range of 5 years old to 14 years old (not in high school) the opportunity to play.  Kids are divided by age groups, 6U, 7U, 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, and 14U, "U" meaning "Under".  6U allows 5 and 6 yr olds to play together. 14U allows 13 and 14 yr olds (not in high school) to play together. The cut off date for age is the child's age as of July 1st, example- if your child turns 9yrs old at 12:01am on July 1st, they play in the 9U age group. There are no try outs, however registration may be cut off, or an age group may split at a certain point to ensure all athletes have plenty of opportunities to play.  No team may have more than 35 players. 
Little Knights Cheerleading has been a part of the organization for over 50 years!  Our Cheer program helps build strength, character, and team work.
