Celebrating 56 Years of Flag Football, Community, and Character Development
Founded in 1969, the Pleasanton Junior Football League (PJFL) has proudly served the Pleasanton and Tri-Valley area for over five decades. We’re a co-ed, non-profit youth sports organization dedicated to teaching young athletes the fundamentals of football and cheer while promoting sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership, and respect for others.
Whether you’re brand new to the sport or looking to build on years of experience, PJFL offers a supportive, safe, and inclusive environment where kids can grow on and off the field.

At PJFL, our mission is to provide a fun, safe, and inclusive football experience where young athletes grow as players and people. We focus on teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship, and respect—values that last far beyond the field.
For over 55 years, we’ve welcomed players of all skill levels, offering equal opportunity to learn, compete, and lead. Through coaching, mentorship, and community support, we strive to build not just better athletes, but confident, character-driven individuals.
At PJFL, we’re proud to say:
We’re not just teaching football — we’re shaping the future.
Committed to Growth — On the Field and Beyond.
All PJFL practices and home games take place at two of Pleasanton’s premier athletic facilities: Ken Mercer Sports Park and Patelco Sports Complex. These well-maintained venues provide a safe, spacious, and family-friendly environment for athletes to learn, play, and grow.
Ken Mercer Sports Park, located in the heart of Pleasanton, is known for its expansive fields, modern amenities, and ample parking—making it an ideal home base for our practices and flag football games.
Patelco Sports Complex, with its professional-grade turf fields and convenient layout, hosts many of our tackle football games and larger league events.
Both locations are easily accessible from anywhere in the Tri-Valley area and are central to our mission of keeping youth sports local, organized, and community-driven. Whether you’re a player, coach, or cheering family member, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere and a strong sense of team spirit at every PJFL event.
