EFA Families,

Thank you for being a part of the EFA family for the 2019 season!  We hope that the kids and your family enjoyed the season. We appreciate your patience and support. 

One of the benefits of EFA is that the season has a beginning and end, we truly believe in multi-sport athletes and playing every sport that kids are interested in. So, good luck to all EFA players in their Winter, Spring, and Summer sports, and we look forward to seeing you back in the Fall of 2020 (registration will open in March).

For those kids who want to run around and play some football over the next few months, please watch for our optional dome programs that will start in January.

We will also offer athletic training (not football specific) for boys and girls over the Summer.

For those 8th graders moving on to the Edina High School program, good luck at the next level - it is a great program and a great opportunity to be a part of no cut high school team. 

Wrestling is one of the best off-season sports for football players to participate in as there are many overlapping skills. Wrestling will help athletes develop quickness, strength, agility, leverage, coordination, explosiveness and more. MANY football coaches and players attribute wrestling to the success they have had on the football field. Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said, "I think you learn more from wrestling than any other sport. You find out so much more about yourself and about competition."  A great article about the benefits is A Nod to Wrestling from Tyler Blum (former University of Iowa football player). See below for details for each level of wrestling.
