NYO Tackle Football



NYO TACKLE FOOTBALL

In 1951, Georgia Sports Hall of Fame Coach, Bob Blackwell created a football team of thirteen young boys from North Atlanta.  This small football squad, called the Red Devils, would evolve into one of the largest, intra-park football programs in the entire country.  Today, Northside Youth Organization’s football program boasts nearly 900 players from Kindergarten through 7th grade separated into six leagues.  Thousands of boys through the years have played at NYO and learned both football and life lessons.  Many of our NYO Football alumni recall some of their fondest memories as youngsters occurring on the fields at Chastain Park.

In conjunction with NYO’s mission, our football program emphasizes character development, sportsmanship, healthy competition, and positive coaching.  Most importantly, NYO football is FUN!!!
