Welcome to the Connecticut Valley Pee Wee Football League

Founded in 1968 with just four original pee wee teams — the Patriots, Jets, Packers, and Giants — the Connecticut Valley Pee Wee Football League (CVPWFL) has been a cornerstone of youth sports in the Connecticut River Valley for over 55 years. Based in Bellows Falls, Vermont, we proudly serve young athletes and their families from communities throughout southern Vermont and New Hampshire.

Our league offers a fun, safe, and positive introduction to football and flag football. Kids can start as young as 4 years old in our flag football program, with tackle football available for older participants up through 8th grade.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of football, building strong character, and instilling lifelong values such as:

• Teamwork
• Discipline
• Sportsmanship
• Respect
• Confidence
• Player Safety – prioritizing proper techniques, equipment, and age-appropriate play to keep every child safe while they learn and grow

At CVPWFL, developing good kids who love the game and respect one another is always our top priority — while still teaching them how to compete and win.

A Proud Tradition

What began in 1968 with four teams has grown into a vibrant league that continues to thrive today. Many of our alumni have gone on to successful high school careers with the Bellows Falls Terriers and other area teams.

We offer both flag football (starting at age 4) and full tackle football, along with an annual youth football and cheerleading camp. Our season features regular games and exciting night games under the lights at Hadley Field.
