The joy and excitement that the Ft Sam Houston Youth Football and Cheer organization brings to the faces of the children and the families of present, past, and future players is priceless. However, this month the organization was told that it would not be offering the program any longer. This was the hardest news ever to give to families that look forward to the beginning of a new season. The Fort Sam Houston youth sports football and cheer program has been a tradition for so many families. Over the years many children have learned life lessons and made new friends as they have participated in the program. Often times, the coaches that you see coaching have also had the pleasure of playing or cheering for the organization when they were younger. The football and cheer program has always been a great asset to many familes going through PCS moves, deployments, or other situtations that the military life brings your way. Each and every child that has participated in the organization has left with at least something. That something being friendship, life lessons, or a sense of achievement.

If you would like to see this program continue to have a positive impact on the lives of players, parents, coaches, family and friends, please sign this petition. With your signature, you are saying that a program with such merit and character should continue to be a great asset not only to Fort Sam, but those who support, have supported, and want to support those black and gold colors. Sign this petition if you're a grandparent that never misses a game, or a parent that knows football and cheer helps to keep the kids active while a spouse was deployed. Sign this petition if you support youth physician fitness. Sign this petition if you once played for the organization and now your children participate in the organization. Sign this petition because you know in your heart that the Fort Sam Houston Football and Cheer Organization continues to give back to the post and it's community and should not be taken away.
