MVL Football Program
The MVL Chargers football program consists of two levels: Varsity and JV. The goal of this program is to provide an experience of a lifetime by using God’s gifts and talents he has given to us in the game of football. The football season generally begins with the August practices and finishes up around Thanksgiving. All the teams practice everyday after school on non-game days. MVL is a member of the Mid SouthEast District. The Varsity team takes part in the MSHSL playoffs and state tournament after the regular season is completed.
MVL Football offers a variety of life skills/lessons such as teamwork, respect, sportsmanship, dedication, celebration, commitment and safety along with the opportunity to glorify our Lord through activity. Our Savior is the driving force of this program! The game of football can and will be a safe game when taught/played correctly. The MVL coaching staff puts the safety and integrity of the game of football at the highest level. Football can and will only help you, not hurt you. There is nothing like Friday nights under the lights!
