Niagara Falls Cataract Little Loop Football Association is a youth football and cheerleading organization that teaches the values of ACADEMICS, TEAMWORK, GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP and FAIR PLAY to children between the ages of 6 to 13 years old. Originally founded in 1969, Cataract attempts to promote physical, mental, and moral development by providing a program that teaches children the proper techniques to safely excel at football and cheerleading. We try to prepare the boys and girls for what lies ahead in life, as well as high school sports.
Cataract is located in the City of Niagara Falls, New York and games are played at the Ruth Nicoletti Field behind Niagara Falls High School. We are part of the Niagara Youth Football League which is comprised of fourteen organizations and governed by a board of commissioners. We instruct our players and cheerleaders to always have fun and respect their opponent, teammates, coaches and the great game of football. We also attempt to work with the Niagara Falls school district by having a code of conduct where our players must attempt to maintain a high academic level, as well as adhere to school rules and respect their teachers and classmates.
Cataract is a 501c 3 nonprofit organization that caters to approximately 220 children and is staffed by volunteers. There are four teams consisting of 40 players and 20 cheerleaders.
