About the provider

The organization states that it is dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment where young athletes aged 7-18 can develop their skills, sportsmanship, and teamwork. The program notes that the 2024, 2025, and 2026 seasons were all a great success. It also says the STMA Youth Travel Football Board is seeking parents and community members.

Travel league joined in 2024 with cities including Monticello, Big Lake, Becker, Elk River, St. Francis, Zimmerman, and Rockford. The goal is to limit travel for games, especially during the week. Both leagues are coached by volunteer parents. Travel teams have a Head Coach along with 3-4 additional coaches. Both leagues run a simplified version of the STMA Varsity Football Playbook.
