About PTJFA

PTJFA provides nearly 300 Peters Township youth athletes ages 6 through 12 years the opportunity to learn and play the great game of football. We offer a tackle football program in the fall and a flag football and skills clinic in the spring. Our coaches and volunteers are committed to providing a positive experience for our players and their families. Our home football games are held Saturdays in the fall at Hofbauer Field in Peterswood Park and the PT Middle School Football Field.
