BAYAA Tackle Football:
Tackle football players are introduced to the fundamentals of the game, learn how to be a part of a team, hone their skills, and compete in our Tackle Football leagues. Players are led by USA Football certified volunteers in drills on the mechanics and positions of the game, how to protect yourself and safely tackle, and offensive and defensive skills. Based in the Lake Norman area, Brawley teams will play against other programs' teams across Iredell County.
Brawley Area Youth Athletic Assoc. believes that character development is an essential element of sports. Caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith are valued on and off the field. We put safety first and emphasize positive competition. Brawley Athletics are for all and played for fun with a great competitive balance.
Family involvement is encouraged. Parents become part of the Brawley Area Athletic family and enjoy supporting their children together at practices and games. Parents and friends can also be helpful as volunteer coaches, officials and timekeepers. Learn more about volunteering here!
