Football
The West Orange PAL Mustangs are one of the most exciting teams to watch in West Orange.
We play in the New Jersey Suburban Youth Football League, which is currently comprised of 25 town programs split between two conferences. There are playoffs, Super Bowl, and an All-Star game to enhance the enjoyment of the participants and help teach the value of competition and good sportsmanship.
We field 5 levels of contact football to serve West Orange’s youth:
Peewee: 3rd & 4th graders
Peewee: 5th graders
JV: 6th graders
JV: 7th graders
Varsity: 8th graders
Flag Football: Grades K-2
Players will have home and away games. All players will be provided a soft helmet and soft shoulder pads. There is no tackling but a focus on fundamentals of the game of football while having fun.
