Gridiron Meetings
Everything we do for Canfield football & cheer happens because of volunteers who generously donate their time. We are very appreciative of all who have helped, and continue to help, make this Gridiron club one of the best in the state.
​
But in order to maintain this high standard, we need volunteers. We're always looking to do more --- and that means we always need more help!
If you want to get involved, start by attending one of our meetings. Get a feel for what we do and learn how you can help!
