Greetings Harlem Jets Family,

The Harlem Jets 2025 Season is officially here, and this year marks a truly special milestone — our 20th anniversary!

Since our founding in 2005 with just four teams and fewer than 100 kids, we’ve grown to serve thousands of young athletes. The Harlem Jets is a youth sports organization for children aged 5 to 13, offering programs in Tackle Football, Cheerleading, Wrestling, and Lacrosse. But we’re more than just a sports program — we’re a family. Our mission is to develop future leaders guided by the values of “One Team, One Dream, #1 Mission — to be Number 1.”

For two decades, we’ve built a legacy of discipline, teamwork, integrity, and confidence. Our experienced coaches and mentors have shaped the lives of countless young people, helping them grow on and off the field. Many of our athletes have gone on to attend prestigious high schools like Cardinal Hayes High School, Archbishop Stepinac, Iona Prep, Bergen Catholic, Don Bosco Prep and the list goes on. Others have transitioned to excel at the collegiate level, representing schools such as:

• Ajani Cornelius – University of Oregon

• Justin Joly – North Carolina State University

• Rahmir Johnson – University of Nebraska

• Jourdin Houston – Rutgers University

• Miles Mitchell – Monmouth University

We’re especially proud of our alumni who have made it to the NFL:

• Sanoussi Kane – Purdue University graduate and current Safety for the Baltimore Ravens

• Elijah Jones – Boston College graduate and current Cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals

The Harlem Jets have also earned national recognition, including a National Championship in 2017. Through it all, our focus has remained on academic achievement, mentorship, and youth development.

Now, we’re looking ahead to the future. Pre-season practices are underway, and registration is open! If you or someone you know is looking for a community that fosters growth, friendship, and opportunity, we invite you to be a part of this special 20th anniversary season.

We’re also seeking partnerships with brands and companies that share our commitment to empowering young leaders. If you’re interested in collaborating, we’d love to connect!

Thank you to everyone who has supported the Harlem Jets over the years. Here’s to the next 20 years of excellence, impact, and building champions — on and off the field.
