Teaneck Jr. Football (TJFL) has been a pillar of youth sports in our community for over a decade, offering a structured and supportive environment for children to develop as athletes and individuals. Under the leadership of our president, Cedric James, who brings over 25 years of football experience, our program has achieved unparalleled success. Before joining TJFL, Cedric honed his expertise with the Bronx River Bulldogs, where he spent 14 years shaping young athletes. Over the last 11 years, his dedication and vision have elevated Teaneck Jr. Football to new heights, developing thousands of student-athletes and securing an impressive 11 championships in the process.

Our program is designed to cater to all skill levels, from novice players to experienced athletes, with a focus on all-around development. At the heart of our success is an amazing development team that assists with recruitment and provides support for players both on and off the field. We’ve created streamlined opportunities for exposure by hosting national events at our field, giving our athletes a platform to gain recognition and take their talents to the next level.

In addition to our football program, Teaneck Jr. Football includes a flag league, a Cheer program, and our in-house training company, B.C.E., which offers specialized coaching to maximize player potential. Throughout the season, our dedicated TJFL staff, led by our Vice President of Operations, Ryan Lugo, coordinates training sessions, development programs, and events to ensure our athletes have every opportunity to excel.
