The objective of this organization is to use youth athletics and recreation to develop well rounded young men and women; to promote the ideals of academics, sportsmanship, fair play, teamwork, respect for authority, and physical fitness. It is the goal of the Rattlers Organization to ensure that all of the children will have fun, learn correct football and cheerleading techniques and strategies, and to put competitive teams on the football field and cheer floor as opportunities present themselves.

To achieve this objective, the Organization will provide a structured and supervised Program under the Rules and Regulations of the Glenwood Rattlers Youth Association (GRYA), the Gulf Coast Youth Football Association (GCYFA), and American Youth Football (AYF). All officers, members, and other volunteers shall bear in mind the attainment of exceptional skills or the winning of games is secondary, and enhancement of the children’s academics and interest in football and cheerleading by encouraging the children participating in our program to become better individuals overall and team players is of primary importance
