Dear Saints Family:

We wanted to provide an update on the upcoming football season. The BGYFL is in constant communication with organizations and remains hopeful for a 2020 season. While the sands are constantly shifting, we are planning and adjusting as these shifts occur primarily as we monitor guidelines from the state, health department, and the Illinois High School Sports Association (IHSA).

With that, here is our current status: as long as the IHSA allows for a season with COVID guidelines, we are planning on a start date of August 17th with first games beginning on the weekend of September 12th and 13th. A delayed season will allow us to adjust to the IHSA as they work through the daily, changing guidelines. 

As always, our first priority as the Naperville Saints has always been the safety and well-being of each athlete. We take that responsibility with the utmost seriousness, so we appreciate your understanding with the fluidity of this time.

Onward Saints!

The Board of Directors

Introducing Naperville Saints Youth Football  

We are pleased to announce that Naperville Saints/St. Raphael Football will continue their partnership with the Bill George Youth Football League (BGYFL) starting in the Fall of 2020.  

Bill George Youth Football shares a similar legacy to St. Raphael youth football establishing itself and becoming one of the predominate youth football leagues in the Chicagoland area since 1963.

The key to this partnership is not only based on legacy and our close geographical ties, but also the multiple levels of competition that BGFYL offers.

This allows St. Raphael Youth Football to operate in a very similar fashion as it has in the past, with a place for our in-house league players and more competitive teams, to compete against like talent levels in our neighboring communities.

Through our new partnership with BGYFL, St. Raphael Football will continue to be a cohesive community organization that will be known as the Naperville Saints, with multiple teams at each age level of competition.

We believe the best coaches are life coaches… not just football coaches.

“Football is more than a game; it moves you in a positive direction, developing a sense of team and a sense of community, which will help you take your place in the world as a dependable member of society.”  - Jim Brown, Founder, St. Raphael Football

Dear Parents,

Thank you again for your support and commitment to St. Raphael Youth Football!  This organization has been such an amazing youth football program because of the wonderful families, positive coaching, commitment to safety and our dedicated volunteers.  We truly couldn't run this program without you all so again, we thank you!  

We are excited to announce the passing of the SRF torch to a new executive board.  We have been blessed with an executive board that has been committed to supporting this program and volunteering their time for numerous years!  I want to thank Paul O'Toole, Bill Takahashi, and Rob Ryan for your many years of service on the board.  Paul has been coaching and running the executive board as President for over 30 years!  Bill has been coaching, commissioner of our Catholic division and Vice President of SRF for the past 16 years and Rob has been sitting as the Treasurer on the SRF executive board for over 15 years!  These 3  men will be missed dearly and we are so incredibly proud to have had their volunteer service for so many years.   

I am happy to introduce our new President, Tom Jurjovec!  Tom has been a Head Coach and Commissioner with the SRF program for multiple years and his children are currently playing football with SRF.  Mike Czuba will be the Vice President of the executive board and was a wonderful addition to our coaching staff in our travel feeder program.  Jay Naffziger will be our new Treasurer.  Jay has been coaching and a commissioner with SRF for many years and will be a huge addition to the executive board!
