This is the first time the league is offering a national championship game for 11-year-olds. What’s special about this team is that a third of them are playing football for the first time this season.
With a winning record of 9 and 2, the Santa Clara Wildcats 11U team are going to Orlando to try and bring home the national championship trophy.
The Wildcats gathered at Seniore’s Pizza Tuesday for a going-away party and final fundraiser that included raffling off a big-screen TV. Head coach Roger Young says the trip will cost about $60,000, and they’ve raised about half of it so far. "These are kids with dreams. These are kids that have earned something and from the first second we started this season, you don’t get anywhere unless you earn it," said Roger Young, Santa Clara Wildcats Head Coach.
"I think I've played about five years, but that was flag. But now this is my first year playing tackle," said Ava Imahara, a Santa Clara Wildcats Receiver.
