We are focused on teaching teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership in a physical education program that is fun and promotes a lifelong love of the game of football!

The Thunder are one of nine-member clubs of the Arapahoe Youth League (AYL) and serve the youth in Littleton.

The season runs from August - Mid November with practice starting in July. The AYL does not schedule around Fall break, Labor Day, or family vacations.

Throughout the offseason we will post coaching clinics, youth camps & clinics that are held around the metro area. For updated information please click the Camps & Clinics link on the left side of this page.

Games in the AYL are managed by the number of plays run per quarter rather than a play clock except for the the 7th & 8th grade 13/14 year old Division which uses a traditional clock. The number of plays that constitute a game quarter will be fixed at 24 plays per quarter this year.

Registration fee does not include Equipment or Uniforms. Information regarding uniforms can be found on the vertical menu.
