Kenowa Hills Football

Grand Rapids, MI

Kenowa Hills Football is more than a game—it’s a tradition built on teamwork, pride, and the pursuit of excellence. From our youngest flag players learning the basics to our middle school athletes preparing for Friday night lights, every athlete is part of the Knight football family.

All Kenowa Hills Football events are held at Kenowa Hills High School and led by the Kenowa Hills Football coaching staff, with support from dedicated volunteers and parents who make the program thrive.
