Founded in 1966, the North Farmington West Bloomfield Vikings have been providing safe, structured football and cheerleader programming for the youth of the two communities as well as all surrounding areas. Programming is run for youth ages 5-13. The objective of the NFWB Vikings Youth Football Corporation shall be to implant firmly into the boys and girls of the community the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and reverence, so that they may mature into well rounded, happy and healthy adults. A further objective shall be to make participation in the game of football and cheerleading as safe as possible by eliminating unsupervised play.The objectives will be achieved by providing supervised competitive football games. The supervisors shall bear in mind that the attainment of exceptional athletic skill or the winning of games is secondary, and the molding of future men and women is of the most importance.The philosophy of the Vikings today is recruiting strong leaders from the younger families of the organization. This has ensured stability and allows the Vikings organization to grow in several areas without a constant switch in leadership in the areas most important for the development of the organization and most importantly, the development of our children.It is the philosophy of the NFWB Vikings that youth football and cheerleading be positive experiences that result in healthy competition, with emphasis on safety, participation, discipline, commitment, teamwork, and individual growth.In support of this philosophy, the coaches will place particular importance on the following objectives:- Teaching and coaching fundamentals- Practicing and competing as a disciplined team- Improving individual conditioning, skills, and self-esteem- Fulfilling commitments to family, schoolwork and the team.
