Youth football may be in jeopardy in the years to come due to financial concerns, Optimist Youth Football just may be the only option available to them.
For this tournament, the concession stand sold only sandwiches, water, Gator Aid, doughnuts and coffee. It went very well and there was very little waiting in line for the people.
