Grayslake North Jr Knights

Grayslake North Jr Knights is a Non-For-Profit / 501c3 youth football and cheer organization that was founded in December’22 and serves as a feeder program for Grayslake North High School in D127. During our first year we had over 200 athletes join our football programs, since then we have almost doubled!  We are a 100% Volunteer run organization and are committed to the success of the program with the support and gracious sponsorships and donations. Our mission is to make football and cheer accessible to both boys and girls in grades K-8th, preparing them to excel in high school programs. We aim to build confidence and leadership skills in our athletes. We are also excited to help athletes and their families forge lasting relationships that will continue through high school and beyond.

One question we get asked often is does the athlete need to be in district to participate? Our answer is simple, we are a feeder program for GNHS, our tackle and cheer uniforms and values resemble theirs and the point of our program is to help grow theirs.  However, if an out of district athlete wants to participate with us we will not turn them away. If we did, that would go against our mission of making football and cheer available to all.
