About Us
Our youth football program was established in 2001 under the direction of former Milwaukee Lutheran Head Football Coach Lonnie Pries. Coach Pries is now the head coach at Concordia University Chicago. Rick Burmeister was an integral part of Red Knight Football as well and led the organization until his sons entered Milwaukee Lutheran High School. Red Knight Football has grown from a fledgling organization to a program that now has over 170 young men in grades 3 through 8 who participate in tackle football. Many of our players go on to play at Milwaukee Lutheran High School.
Christian values are emphasized in our program. Devotions and prayer are an integral part of practices and games.
Our organization is run by a Board of volunteers. We are an non-profit, unincorporated association registered with the State of Wisconsin. We are working toward our 501(c)(3) status.
Each year, at the end of the season, we have an annual board meeting to discuss the season, our budget and to elect new board members and officers. Any parent, coach or volunteer for the past season is invited to attend the meeting.
