Brooklyn Skyhawks About Us

OUR MISSION

Brooklyn Skyhawks Football was founded in 1977 with the following objectives:

To inspire participants regardless of their race, creed or national origin, to impart the principles of sportsmanship, scholarship and physical fitness;
To familiarize all participants with the fundamentals of tackle football and to play the game in a safe manner;
To teach discipline, respect and instill values that can be applied for a lifetime.

OUR VISION

It is our belief that youth should have the opportunity to participate in any activity and that physical activities also stimulates the mind.

Since 1977, our tackle football program is a highly competitive program where our primary goal is to teach each child the fundamentals of football, to demonstrate the values of teamwork through discipline and to instill a sense of good sportsmanship together with quality competition.

HISTORY

The Brooklyn Skyhawks Football program was founded by James Harris in 1977.

The Skyhawks began with two teams in 1977 and expanded to three teams in 1978. By 1981 the Skyhawks had five separate divisions with approximately 150 players. Many former players have come back to support the Club’s goal of helping today’s young men excel on and off the football field.

Today, the Skyhawks is one of the top youth football programs in the New York Tri-State area with an annual roster of approximately 130 players ranging from ages 7-14. The Brooklyn Skyhawks are known for their winning tradition. Our organization consistently sends teams to their divisional Playoffs and Championship games.

As of 2018, Brooklyn Skyhawks Football operates under Skyhawk Youth Sports Corp. (S.Y.S.C.) a registered, non-profit 501(c) 3 organization.
