MOUNTAIL LIONS 12U
It's more than a game. It’s who we become together.Â
We believe youth football is about more than just winning games — it’s about learning teamwork, respect, and resilience. Our mission is to help young athletes grow on and off the field, developing their skills, their confidence, and their sportsmanship. Every player, no matter their experience level, is valued as an important part of our team.

Field Help
Our players count on all of us — we need parents on the field to keep practices and games safe, organized, and fun. Don’t leave it to someone else — sign up to help today!Â
Snack Sign-Up
These kids give it their all out there — let’s make sure they have the healthy fuel they need! Please sign up to bring orange slices or snacks and keep our team going strong.
The scoreboard doesn’t define us — how we play does. Every practice, every game, you have the chance to show what kind of teammate, competitor, and person you are. Hustle for your teammates on the field. Lift each other up. Play with respect, and never quit on yourself or your team.
Wins will come and go, but the character you build here will carry you for life. Be proud to wear this jersey — and make it mean something every time you put it on.
AÂ MESSAGE FROM COACH
Most of you are putting on pads and stepping onto a tackle field for the very first time. That takes courage, and it already shows you’re willing to try something new and work hard at it. As a coach at Highlands Ranch High School, I’ve seen what this game can do for young people: it teaches discipline, respect, and the importance of working together.
You don’t have to know everything right now — that’s what we’re here for. What matters is your attitude: show up ready to listen, to hustle, to encourage your teammates, and to never give up when things feel tough. Those are the same values we expect at the high school level, and they’re what will make you successful here, on the field, and beyond.
Wear your jersey with pride. Play for your team. And remember — every snap is a chance to get better.
