Naperville Saints Youth Football started in 1963 as St. Raphael Football and is the longest-tenured youth football organization in Naperville, IL. It is a not-for-profit, volunteer-driven youth football organization comprised of multiple teams organized by age and skill level from 8–14 years old. The organization states that players have learned how to play football in a safe, positive, and inclusive environment while instilling confidence, discipline, and character, and it emphasizes football fundamentals, teamwork, safety, exercise, discipline, achievement, resilience, and fun. Its mission is to motivate and mentor its players for success on and off the field. The Naperville Saints are a member of the long-standing and nationally recognized Bill George Youth Football League. A testimonial from Jim Brown, Coach, St. Raphael Football, states, “Football is more than a game. It moves you in a positive direction, developing a sense of team and a sense of community, which will help you take your place in the world as a dependable member of society.” For uniforms, this is the same uniform as last season, so fittings are only needed for new athletes joining the program and returning athletes needing a larger size.
