Registration for the 2026 Season opens Feb. 1st, 2026!

 Plainfield Saints Youth Football program provides players an opportunity to participate in an organized, supervised, safety-orientated and educational athletic program. We go beyond just teaching the fundamentals of the game, but also believe it is equally important to teach them the importance that scholastics has in the sport and in their everyday lives.  With our Plainfield Central location we have players from Plainfield, Naperville, Joliet, Aurora and Oswego. Come be a part of a top sports organization.

Practices
We begin practice July 15th, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday nights 6pm to 8pm.  
Field locations will be sent out by coaches.  Practices will be at Tamarack Settlement Park or Aux Sable Middle School.

The first week of practice is an important week, as football players must have 10 hours of conditioning and fundamentals practice before then can practice full contact.

Dates will vary based on each team. All information will be given at the parent meeting. 

Player Evaluations
Player Evaluations will take place during the first two weeks of practice. Players will participate in drills with their own age group while being evaluated by the coaches. Coaches will evaluate the players over the course of several days and assign players to their respective team.  Each age group can have a D1, D2 and D3 team.  Coaches will communicate the practice schedule for the coming days and season separately.      

Games 
Our game schedule is typically 8 games, one each weekend beginning the last weekend of August.
We will typically have 4 home games and 4 away games. 
The away games can be anywhere in our Chicagoland Pop Warner conference and we won’t know that schedule until just before games begin (this is due to teams finalizing after our certification day).
Our home games will be played at Four Seasons Park in Plainfield.
Games can be scheduled on Saturdays or Sundays.
All home games will be on Sundays. 

Typically on game day, the youngest team plays first and oldest last with some exceptions.  Away weekends, our goal is for our teams to travel together, but they have to go in different directions.  Scheduling is determined by Pop Warner, and we must travel accordingly for our away games.
