High School Football Challenge

schuylkill united way high school football challenge
The third Tuesday of June is the unofficial start of the high school football season in Schuylkill County with our annual High School Football Challenge! 2026 will mark nine years of the Challenge. It is held at North Schuylkill’s Ghosh Orthodontics Field at Spartan Stadium.

All 14 county teams compete in a series of speed, strength, agility, and skill contests. There is also a Kick Out exhibition during “half time.” Winners receive medals and trophies. The champions earn the Commissioners Trophy, SUW Traveling Trophy, a championship banner, a gift card for a team spaghetti dinner, and of course bragging rights!

Admission is free and everyone gets to visit with our Partner Agencies and generous sponsors. A host of games, giveaways, and resources are available to all who attend. A variety of food trucks are on site for teams and fans to purchase dinner and treats.

For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Mike Joyce, Director of Community Engagement, at mjoyce@schuylkillunitedway.org. For questions about the Challenge, please contact Becky Woods at bwoods@schuylkillunitedway.org.
