Welcome to Palmer Football!
Dear Parents and Team Members:
On behalf of the Palmer Football Program, we wish to take this opportunity to welcome you and your family to the 2020 football season. We look forward to your continued support. Our program operates at its highest level when “your family is part of our family”. You will be asked throughout the season to assist our staff with everything from helping in the snack stand, on the chain gang during games and also with fundraising, including our Designer Purse Bingo and Tricky Tray taking place on September 12, 2020. Palmer Football has always been and will continue to be the gold standard of local youth football and our great families have always been the main reason for this.
Please check our website frequently throughout the season—www.palmerpantherfootball.com. We will also utilize social media to share important information, updates, photos, videos, etc. Please check out the following links/pages:

Please contact me with any questions and we look forward to another outstanding season of football and fun!
