Our History
Becoming #ONE in 2019:
Following 50+ years with two youth football programs in the community, the Flemington Falcons Youth Football Program (Falcons) & the Jr. Red Devils Football Program (JRD) UNIFIED into #ONE football program in 2019 for the betterment of all youth football players in the HCRHS sending district.
Our youth athletes live within the HCRHS sending district playing under the New Jersey Suburban Youth Football League (NJSYFL). NJSYFL is a strong, stable New Jersey based league founded in 1972 with the objective to make the game of football “all inclusive,” fun and safer. Grade-level based teams are offered at every level (Flag Team(s): Kindergarten - 2nd grade and Tackle Team(s) at each grade level (3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th). There is a set schedule with a minimum of 8 regular season football games (4+ games played at the Hunterdon Central’ Stewart Football Field). We are extremely excited to be part of the Suburban League where every athlete has the opportunity to play grade-level based football.
