The Missouri Wolverines Youth Football Program offers Tackle Football for 5th Graders in the Kansas City Missouri Metro Area. We are currently accepting players for the 2025 season. We play both league games as well as pre-season and post-season tournaments including show case games where we play teams from out-of-state which gives our players a great experience to be exposed to other teams and talent.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PLAY ON THE 5th GRADE TEAM?

The fees for the Missouri Wolverines Football Program is based on several factors including, but not limited to, the number of games we play, the gear we provide our players, the facilities we utilize and the experience we provide our teams. We do require our players to participate in Team Fundraisers as well to offset tournaments and team costs. Visit our participation fees page for a more detailed explanation of fees.

WHAT YOUR FEES COVER?

The Missouri Wolverines Player Fees include all the following:

• Registration on the team
• FREE Speed and Agility and Position Training every Monday Night during the season at Kansas City Athlete Training
• Outdoor and Indoor Practice Facility Rental

For tournaments and extra team costs, we require players to participate in team fundraisers to help cover the costs to make everything affordable for all families. The idea behind our fundraisers is to get community involvement and not for the parents to pay out of their pocket but the players and families need to be involved in helping the team raise necessary funds.   If you still have questions, please contact us at 816-379-3692 or via email at [email protected]
