WELCOME TO THE GREATER FORT MYERS JUNIOR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. THE HOME OF LEE COUNTY'S MOST ACCOMPLISHED, SUCCESSFUL, AND WINNINGEST YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAM. THE GREATER FORT MYERS JUNIOR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION HAS A LONG AND STORIED TRADITION AND IS LEE COUNTY'S ORIGINAL YOUTH FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. THE ORGANIZATION WAS FOUNDED IN THE EARLY 1960'S AND HAS ESTABLISHED A VERY ILLUSTRIOUS AND PROUD TRADITION IN THE COMMUNITY OF FORT MYERS AND THE STATE OF FLORIDA. SUCCESS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF THE PROGRAM AS THE ORGANIZATION WON NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN FOOTBALL AND CHEERLEADING IN THE 60'S, 70'S, 80'S, AND 90'S.
IN 2001, THE ORGANIZATION CHANGED ITS TEAM NAME FROM THE REBELS TO THE JUNIOR FIRECATS IN HOPES TO ESTABLISH A NEW FAN BASE AND CONNECTION WITH THE NEW LOCAL ARENA FOOTBALL TEAM. DURING THOSE FIVE YEARS THE JR. FIRECATS HAVE WON FIVE PEACE RIVER CONFERENCE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS, INCLUDING BACK TO BACK IN 2005 & 2006. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO HAS A DISTINGISHED FOOTBALL ALUMNI BASE. WHICH INCLUDES EIGHT NFL PLAYERS INCLUDING DEION SANDERS (NFL HALL OF FAME), ALL PRO JEVON KEARSE (EAGLES), ALL PRO WARREN WILLIAMS (STEELERS & COLTS) , ANTHONY HENRY (COWBOYS), NAJEH DAVENPORT (PACKERS & STEELERS), RICHARD FAIN (BENGALS & BROWNS), CHRIS VANCE (SAINTS & NFL EUROPE). IN ADDITION, 25 OTHER FORMER PLAYERS / ALUMNI HAVE GONE ON TO PLAY DIVISION 1 COLLEGE FOOTBALL.
OUR MISSION HERE AT GREATER FORT MYERS JR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION IS TO ENABLE CHILDREN TO BENEFIT FROM PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS IN A SAFE AND STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT. THROUGH THIS ACTIVE PARTICIPATION OUR PROGRAM TEACHES THE VALUE OF TEAMWORK, SKILLS, AND KNOWLEDGE THAT OUR KIDS WILL USE THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFETIME. OUR ORGANIZATION IS DEDICATED TO ENHANCE ALL PLAYERS AT EVERY LEVEL TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS.
