Serving 3rd-8th graders (7-year-olds who weigh at least 60 pounds can play with league approval and parental waiver) within the Redmond community and will be attending Redmond High School. The Jr Mustangs compete in the Greater Eastside Junior Football Association (GEJFA), comprised of 14 member clubs.
The Greater Eastside Junior Football Association (GEJFA) was formed in 1963 to provide contact football in a program that respects the GEJFA philosophy. GEJFA serves youth between the ages of 8 and 14. There are five levels of play, assignment to which is based on an age/weight formula to ensure that players compete against players of like size and age. These levels are Rookie, Cub, Sophomore, Junior Varsity, and Varsity.
There are 14 independent franchised clubs that comprise GEJFA, representing the youth of Kirkland, Redmond, Woodinville, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Newcastle, East Renton, Issaquah, Sammamish, Snoqualmie, North Bend, Fall City, Duvall, Carnation, Bothell, and Kenmore. Clubs have geographical boundaries, which in most cases, are the same or similar to the local high school.
Each club is managed and operated independent of the others and has its own Board of Directors, registration, equipment, and home field. However, as members of GEJFA, clubs are managed in accordance with GEJFA rules. All clubs have representation on the GEJFA Council, thus input in how the larger organization functions.
