OATKA Mission Statement


At Oatka Youth Football & Cheerleading League, our primary goal is to inspire and empower young individuals while promoting the values of sportsmanship, scholarship, and physical fitness. We are dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive environment for youth of all backgrounds, irrespective of race, religion, gender, or national origin. Our focus is on nurturing their athletic abilities and fostering personal growth, free from any adult-driven ambitions or personal glory.  Our league strives to build a solid foundation for our young athletes, ensuring they are well-versed in the fundamentals of football and cheerleading. Under the guidance of our experienced coaches, they participate in supervised and organized activities that emphasize skill development and a love for the sport. The safety of our participants is of utmost importance, and we adhere to the official high school football playing rules and spirit rules established by the national federation of state high school athletic association. While we maintain these standards, we also make necessary adjustments based on local conditions and our extensive experience.
