The West Side Falcons are based in the 'west side' section of Scranton, Pennsylvania. We have been in existence for over 40 years! We are currently members of the Northern Area Junior Football League (NAJFL), consisting of 13 Football Teams/Cheerleading Squads from Northeast Pennsylvania.
The goal of the West Side Falcons Youth Organization is to assemble the youth of our community into amateur football teams and cheerleading squads, providing our best efforts in nurturing sportsmanship, teamwork, dedication and respect. We do this through teaching the fundamentals of the sports and encouraging values that build their character and improve their physical well being, and self respect.
This entire website is dedicated to the players, cheerleaders, parents, coaches, officers, board members, volunteers, friends, relatives, alumni and supporters of the West Side Falcons......
Launch Date: September 13, 2007, Bert James

BOUNDARY QUESTIONS !!!!!! There appears to be some confusion out there, as far as the boundary restictions that apply to the West Side Falcons. So, we decided to clear the air. The only limitation is that the child reside in the Scranton School District. This means that ALL children in West, North, Central, East and South Scranton can participate in the West Side Falcons Youth Organization!
