Representing the towns of Woodstock, Putnam, Thompson and Pomfret, the WPTP Junior Football League is a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization that has provided youth football and cheerleading instruction to the boys and girls in our community since 1978. Our program is designed to provide participants with a safe and enjoyable learning environment. The player’s welfare is always our top priority.
Our league consists of 8 football teams, 4 Flag Teams and 4 Tackle Teams as well as cheerleading squads that accompany each team.
Our Flag Program consists of 5 and 6 year olds. Coaches are on the field with the teams and we do not keep score. Games are played on Saturdays at our home field, Murphy Park in Putnam.
Our Tackle Program, ages 6 through 13, travels to towns within the Northern CT Football League. The NCFL consists of the towns of Colchester, Ellington, Windsor Locks, Tolland, Tri-town, Enfield, Coventry, Portland, Stafford, Rham, WPTP and Cromwell. Games are played based on a north and south division and typically will consist of 4 home games and 4 away games as well as end of season playoffs.
In an area of limited media, the most important way for us to make our cause known is through word of mouth. We need your help in recruiting, fundraising and spreading the news about what W.P.T.P. is doing for the youth within our communities.
The Board of Directors meets the fourth Monday of every month at Murphy Park in Putnam. All members, coaches, volunteers and parents are invited to attend. We are always looking for new members and welcome your suggestions and ideas. If you wish to learn more about our organization and help us in our endeavors please contact us for further information.
