Wichita Football League
This isn’t just any football league. The Wichita Junior Football League is one of the most respected youth leagues in the Midwest, with a deep focus on skill development, sportsmanship, and community pride. Open to boys and girls in grades 1–8, it’s a great way to learn the game, make friends, and represent Wichita with pride.
