The philosophy of the Eden Prairie Football Association is to create an organized football program for all children that reside full-time in or go to school in Eden Prairie during the Fall Football season. The primary purpose of the program is not to win football games, but rather to teach the fundamentals of football, sportsmanship, discipline, and the importance of team play to all of the participants.  This is still a travel sport where we try instill the value of competition.  Our hope is that as they move through the program they are progressing towards competing on higher level and being prepared for the rigors of high school football. 

The primary objectives of our association are as follows:

• We do not create heroes or failures among participants who are too young to handle either role.

• Each participant will learn to play positions on offense and defense during the course of the season.

• We will follow leagues rules for playing time, which gradually changes from 3rd to 8th grade.

• Teams at each grade level will be formed with an equal distribution of talent. There will be no "All Star" or "Traveling" team.

• Each grade level will have a weight limit for running backs so that the heaviest boys cannot carry the ball.

• The teams will be formed each year with a draft of talent to create teams of equal talent.

Parents can play many roles in sport: current or former athlete, coach, fan, motivator, role model or critic. A few studies have shown that family members may influence an athlete’s involvement and achievement in sport more than coaches. Parents also are the first and most critical agents at socializing sports.

Eden Prairie Football Association participates in the Southwest Metro League (SWML). All governing rules are approved by the SWML board and representatives. For more information, please visit SWML at https://www.swmlfootball.org/

Parents and athletes need to manage their SportsEngine accounts to ensure they get the most out of their Eden Prairie Football Association experience during each sporting season. With their accounts properly configured, athletes and their families will receive communications according to their preferences and be able to complete registrations more efficiently.  SportsEngine has created a Team Management Guide for Parents and Athletes that will help our members with frequently asked questions about our website and mobile app.
