@jrbluejays.com League: The Jr. GAC is a youth version of the Gateway Athletic Conference (GAC). Washington High School is a member of the GAC. The Jr. GAC follows the same boundary of residency rules as the GAC to ensure realistic competition that athletes will experience in High School. This allows athletes to compete against the same athletes they will see in their counterpart High School teams. It also allows athletes to compete with their own peers instead of against them.
Fall 2024 Details (Register by May 20th):
Games will be played same weekends as Fall Tackle but on Sundays. Actual Schedule To Be Released.
Will be run just like Spring Flag described above.
