A new youth football program is coming to Jackson. Pride Athletics is adding No Days Off, or NDO, a youth 7-on-7 and 5-on-5 lineman skill challenge program, WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News reported.
The program is built on the success of the Hub City Lions, a youth travel football team that has won 16 championships over the years. The 7-on-7 format focuses on passing, catching and pass coverage, while the 5-on-5 lineman challenge gives offensive and defensive linemen their own way to compete and build skills.
Tryouts for the 7-on-7 program are set for Sunday, Nov. 15, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Hollywood Drive in Jackson. There is a $20 tryout fee per player.
Pride Athletics is also adding a flag football division for girls. Tryout information for that division will be released in January 2027.
Youth 7-on-7 and flag football have been growing quickly across Tennessee, giving young players a way to stay active and sharpen football skills outside of the regular tackle football season. Families interested in the new programs can get more details from Pride Athletics.
