The West Richmond Gridiron Youth Football League (Gridiron) was established in 2002 initially to accommodate the tremendous number of Midget aged children (ages 10, 11 and 12) from the western part of Richmond who wanted a chance to play football, but could not because of the restricted ages and weights and number of teams that Metro would allow. By it's third season, Gridiron had opened up teams to Pee Wees (ages 8 and 9) and Flags (ages 5 ½, 6 and 7) for the same reasons. The associations that have participated in the Gridiron League in the past are Western, Goochland, Tuckahoe and Kanawha. All games are held at these fields, thus limiting travel time greatly. Gridiron league teams play 8 regular season games on Saturdays, post season play and have a Gridiron champion at each level. Additionally, each team will have a highlighted Monday night game of the week under the lights during the season. Teams practice at Short Pump Park and have home games there. Gridiron determines the number of home games by the number of teams we have participating.
