Fullerton Junior All American Bears

The Fullerton Junior All American Bears are members of the Orange County Junior All American Football Conference (OCJAAF). Comprised of twenty-nine (29) chapter (city) members throughout the Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties, OCJAAF is the largest youth football and cheerleading organization in the nation. The Fullerton Junior All American Bears are honored to contribute to OCJAAF's diversity, which makes the Orange County Junior All American Football Conference number one in competition. The Fullerton Junior All American Bears are proud to sponsor OCJAAF's core values of "family" and of "community" - the standards that keep OCJAAF and the Fullerton Junior All American Bears a leading youth football and cheerleading organization. Families come in many combinations and we celebrate the word of "family" as meaning: team, the Fullerton Junior All American Bears, community and the OCJAAF Conference. There is nothing stronger than the spirit in the word of family and you will see it and feel it within the Fullerton Junior All American Bears organization and our OCJAAF Conference.

The objective of the Fullerton Junior All American Bears program is to inspire youth, regardless of race, color, creed, or national origin; to practice the ideals of health, citizenship and character; to bring our youth closer together through the means of a common interest in sportsmanship, fair play and fellowship; to impart to the game elements of safety, sanity and intelligent supervision; and to keep the welfare of the player and/or cheerleader first, foremost and entirely free of adult lust for glory.

I WILL

The words "I WILL" is certain to have a special meaning to the Bears Junior All American Football class of 2010. It is the organization's inaugural class and secures the foundation for what WILL be the beacon of youth football in North Orange County.

Back in 1910, President Theodore Roosevelt made a speech that is now commonly referred to as "The Man in the Arena" speech. Roosevelt noted, "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place SHALL NEVER BE WITH THOSE COLD AND TIMID SOULS WHO NEITHER KNOW VICTORY OR DEFEAT."

The Bears Junior All American Football Family WILL appreciate and honor our players who are "in the arena." And as such our players WILL be acknowledged.

Over six million children in the United States participate in some level of organized youth sports. Less than one million play football. Bears Junior All American Football players WILL be praised because playing football WILL be a positive experience for them in their continued maturation into adulthood.

The Bears Junior All American Football Family WILL mentor and motivate our players to life's noble accomplishments.

The Bears Junior All American Football Family WILL lift our players hearts and minds and encourage them to continue to try in life and on the field.

The Bears Junior All American Football Family WILL lift our players up and impart to them that success or failure has nothing to do with a scoreboard, but everything to do with their individual and collective efforts.

The words "I WILL" WILL become the battle cry for the entire Bears Junior All American Football Family and we hope you WILL join us. Join us in providing a better solution, a better environment, a better opportunity, a better experience, and a better day for our children. Because we WILL.
