F.O.R. Youth Tackle Football

Future Owasso Rams (FOR) Youth Tackle Football program is a prestigious member of the
Indian Nations Football Conference (INFC) and the oldest and largest football league in Owasso. Owasso FOR football fosters a sense of community that gives both participants and spectators the experience of belonging to something larger than themselves. This is why kids love playing for their schools, why high school football games in small cities can draw tens of thousands of spectators week after week, and why adults identify with their college teams years after they have graduated. Playing for an institution or a community gives kids a chance to feel that they are making a genuine contribution to a larger group.

WE ARE "THE OWASSO RAMS!"

Proper Hydration Can Prevent Injuries

Triple-digit temperatures have returned to eastern Oklahoma. Water makes up 60 to 65 percent of a person's body weight. When engaged in physical activity, football players should be mindful of the importance of staying hydrated because proper hydration means more energy and a decrease in health risks when playing. Newson6.com has outlined several steps to stay hydrated.

  • Let players become acclimated to the heat. Having players practice initially without pads and helmets is preferred.
  • Schedule regular water and rest breaks during conditioning. Water should be provided every 30 minutes, and more frequently as heat and humidity rise.
  • Allow players to remove helmets during instruction/when not engaged in tackling or other contact activity.
  • Encourage players to drink extra water in the hours and days leading up to practice sessions and games. Sugary and caffeinated beverages should be avoided.
