- Got a little bit left in the tank? Or maybe you just want to relive your glory days.

Well you and your former teammates can do so on the football field with all of the proceeds going to local schools and charities.

Gridiron Alumni is planning several full contact full pad alumni football games and they are targeting several local high schools who they hope to get involved.

Gridiron Alumni travels the nation pitting old football rivals against each other one more time, all for a good cause. Hundreds of players and thousands of fans have swarmed stadiums to watch their hometown heroes strap it on for the last time.

Gridiron Alumni is targeting teams like Golden, Ralston Valley and others they hope to get involved.

Players from the local area are invited to register and play. The first 40 players on each team get to play and the team that gets 30 people registered first gets home field advantage.  

“We do most of our games in the spring and summer and we want to give guys plenty of time to get in shape, so time is of the essence if we’re going to get these games going,” said Chris Hall, founder of Gridiron Alumni.

The games are set for the spring and summer. If you or someone you know is interested in putting on the pads one more time, please go to to register. If you have any questions, please call Chris at (530) 410-6396 or go to the website.

Gridiron Alumni was founded in 2010 and has risen over $250,000 for schools and charities using alumni football games as a fundraising vehicle. According to the website, Gridiron Alumni football has changed lives, communities and given thousands of men their spark back.

You must be 18 or older to play and since it is Alumni football, you must play for the team where you went to high school, though occasional exceptions may be allowed. This is partially so that teams do not recruit “ringers” that didn’t go to the school. Gridiron Alumni’s goal is to make these games an annual event that the players and community could look forward to every year.
