The Chesapeake Knights consists of eight tackle football teams (and associated cheer squads). There are varying weight and age restrictions on each of the teams but generally cover the ages of 5 through 13 with varying max weight cut-offs. Team weight limits range from 35 lbs to140 lbs for our oldest boys. In 2007 we did not field a Flag or a Midget team. We are not ruling those teams out for 2008 but would need enough players, coaches, and other teams to play in the area- in order to properly field those teams. We anticipate fielding 2 Tiny Mite Teams, 2 Mity Mite Teams, 1 or 2 Jr Pee Wee Teams, 1 Pee Wee Team and 1 Junior Midget Team. We are flexible on these numbers based on how many kids register.

The formal name of our organization is the Southern Chesapeake Football Association (SCFA). Our goal is to implant in the youth of the community the ideas of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, and courage. This will enable our next generation of community leaders to be well adjusted, strong, happy, healthy and trustworthy citizens.
On February 7th, 2007 our organization officially aligned with the Pop Warner Little Scholars organization- the largest Youth Football and Cheer organization in the nation. We fully support their vision of linking scholastic achievement with athletics in a safe playing environment and believe that the players, parents and community will all benefit from this formal relationship.
