Auburn Parks and Recreation is currently accepting registrations for youth football, grades 1-8.

Flag football for first- and second-graders will start the second week of September and will place an emphasis on fun and learning the basics of the game. Third and the Grade 4-6 teams are now part of the Maine Youth Football League, and will begin practices the week of August 16th. The seventh- and eighth-grade Falcons will form a varsity and junior varsity squad to compete in the highly spirited and competitive Western Maine Football league, and will practice three to four days a week.
