ABOUT GREATER
EASTSIDE JUNIOR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION (GEJFA)
The
Greater Eastside Junior Football Association (GEJFA) was formed by the Bellevue
Boys and Girls Club in 1963 to provide contact football in a program that
respects the Boys and Girls Club philosophy. GEJFA serves all youth between the
ages of 8 and 14. There are six levels of play based on an age/weight formula to
ensure that players compete against players of like size and age. The levels are
Rookie, Cub, Sophomore, Junior Varsity, Varsity and Seniors. There are sixteen
franchise Systems that comprise the GEJFA, representing the youth of the
Bellevue, Mercer Island, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Lake Forest
Park, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, Duvall, Carnation, Snoqualmie, North Bend,
Issaquah, East Renton, Newcastle and Bainbridge Island. Each System has
geographical boundaries, which in most cases, are the same or similar to the
local high school. The GEJFA junior football program is unique in its high
number of participants and rules to ensure the equitable playing time for all
players. The current officers and franchise Systems are listed by clicking on
