SUMMARY:
The City partners with youth athletic associations to provide team sports at various parks throughout the City of Pensacola. For the 2022 youth football fall season, the City has partnered with the Magee Field Rattlers, NEP Wildcats and SYSA Tigers to provide youth football at Magee Field, Roger Scott Athletic Complex and Legion Field respectively.
Due to the tragic shooting that occurred October 1, 2022 at the Bellview Athletic Park located in the County during a youth football game, City administration recommends additional security at the remaining youth football games played within the city limits. The Pensacola Police Department is committed to safeguarding life and property, preserving the peace, preventing and detecting crime, enforcing the law and protecting the rights of all citizens.
