Cougar Football is a member of the Greater Catholic Youth League, one of the largest youth football leagues in Ohio.


Purpose of Cougar Football Sports Association

The purpose of the Cougar Football and Cheerleading Sport Association or “CFSA” is to serve Cougar Football and Cheerleading by ​furthering the mission of the Catholic Church and providing sports experiences for the youth of all of the Cougar Football and Cheerleading ​Partner Parishes and Schools (collectively, “Cougar Football”) that are firmly rooted in the Catholic faith tradition, based on the goals of the ​Catholic youth ministry, and aligned with the evangelizing mission of the Catholic Church in accordance with The Archdiocese of Cincinnati ​Charter on Youth Athletics, promulgated on March 1, 2014 (the “Charter”). CFSA seeks to provide Cougar Football youth with opportunities ​to participate in athletics and to learn the rules and fundamentals of their sport, the tenets of good sportsmanship, the discipline of hard ​work, the benefits of physical fitness, and the enjoyment of teamwork under proper supervision and guidance. In and through the ​experience of Catholic youth athletics, children and their families will better follow Christ, be drawn closer to the Church, and will grow in ​character, virtues, and Christian service.
