MARIETTA YOUTH CARDINALS FOOTBALL

The Marietta Cardinals Youth Football & Cheerleading program is a proud, community-centered nonprofit based in Marietta. Serving boys and girls ages 4–12, the organization provides a positive, structured environment where young athletes learn the fundamentals of football and cheer while developing lifelong skills.

What began in the early 2000s as a grassroots effort to give local children safe, organized after-school activities has grown into a longstanding community tradition. Over the years, the Cardinals have helped hundreds of young athletes build:

TEAMWORK

Learning how to work together toward a common goal

SPORTSMANSHIP

Competing with integrity and respect

LEADERSHIP

Growing both on and off the field

CONFIDENCE

Developing self-belief through skill-building and achievement

With a proud history of competitive play and community involvement, the Cardinals call Fair Oaks Park their home field. The park serves as more than just a practice space it’s a gathering place where families connect, friendships form, and community spirit thrives.
