Our board of directors, coaching staff, participants and families are expected to demonstrate this both on and off the field.

Participants in our Football & Cheer program live primarily in Brentwood, Oakley, Discovery Bay, Antioch and other East Contra Costa County Cities.  We do accept applicants from surrounding communities.

The Lions were in founded in 1990 by Mario and Gale Camilli. East County is part of the EBYFC East Bay Youth Football and Cheer Association. The association is made up of 16+ organizations.

In 2024, we fielded 9 football and 4 cheer squads, made-up of youth participants grouped by age and weight as guided by the EBYFC rules.  All participation guidelines are set forth by the conference.  The maximum size of our football squads is limited to 36 players and our goal to get keep as many kids as allowed. Football workouts and evaluations typically begin around mid-July. Our coaching staff determines the final team rosters. In some cases we must cut potential players for safety reason or behavior issues.  Our cheer squads are also determined by a tryout process which typically takes place in April or May. .

Football and Cheer practices begin in mid-July and continue through the season until late November.  Practices and Home Games are typically held in the Brentwood area.

All participants and parents are required to follow a “Code of Conduct” which serves the purpose of outlining requirements and expectations of the Lions.  Participants must maintain a minimum grade-point average and are encouraged to strive to obtain various “Scholar Athlete” awards set forth by the Lions and the conference.

In summary, our goals for both football and cheer are to prepare participants for the standards of high school participation.  This is a team sport which requires athletic endurance, commitment, strength, discipline, and hard work.  We focus on helping our participants to achieve the highest standards of being both a student and an athlete.
