Elkhorn Athletic Association’s youth football program is where young athletes begin building skills, confidence, and community pride through the game of football. With teams formed based on home addresses within Elkhorn Public Schools, players have the opportunity to represent their future high schools and compete alongside classmates. Our Flag Football divisions welcomes players in K through 3rd grade, offering a fun, fast-paced introduction to the sport in a non-contact format. For those seeking more advanced play, our Tackle Football program serves athletes in grades 3rd through 8th and competes in the Metro Youth Football League (MYFL), providing a strong foundation in fundamentals, teamwork, and competition across the Omaha metro.

DEVELOPING THE PERSON:
At Elkhorn Athletic Association Football, we know the impact youth sports can have on a child’s life reaches far beyond wins and losses. That’s why we place a strong emphasis on building teams based on neighborhoods and school communities—so kids can play with their friends, show school pride, and grow up alongside teammates who feel like family. Through both our Flag Football (K–6th grade) and Tackle Football (3rd–8th grade) programs, our coaches are committed to helping young athletes develop into well-rounded individuals. Football is more than a game; it’s a platform to teach values like respect, responsibility, perseverance, and teamwork. By creating a positive, encouraging environment, we guide players to grow in confidence and character—skills that will benefit them in every part of their lives.

DEVELOPING THE ATHLETE:
EAA Football is built on the belief that every athlete deserves a chance to grow and thrive at their own pace. Whether a child is just learning the fundamentals in Flag Football or competing in the Metro Youth Football League through our Tackle program, our focus is on skill development, safety, and having fun. Our volunteer coaches provide age-appropriate instruction that helps players build a strong foundation in football while also nurturing a lifelong appreciation for the sport. Our goal is to ensure that every athlete feels challenged, supported, and excited to come back each season—not just to improve on the field, but to grow in confidence, resilience, and connection to their community.
