And the vigo county youth football league are joining forces.

"our communtiy needs one football league, which is true.

It's going to help the kids it's going to be a great program now."

That's because they realized the kids were suffering.

"now you got kids that's growing up with kids playing on two different programs. the one program is just going to settle that" the coaches also realized -- this could help the school district.

"we're one of the only countys in the state that does not have middle school football through the school corporation."

So they called on terre haute north... south... and west vigo to help.

"they'll work through us but be under their direction and practice at their fields and be part of their system which is a true feeder system which will only make football in this community much better."

But they say the most important thing... is the kids.

"thats what it's all about is the kids.great experience.

They're going to get some great coaching they're going to have fun we're going to have a good fair and competive league.
