About Us
CHESTER ILLINOIS STINGERS ORGINIZATION
When Southern Illinois towns started taking an interest in youth football and started their own league, it also became a dream of locals to give Chester's youth that same home town opportunity! In 2012, the Chester Illinois Stingers Organization was born.
A Tradition of Team Spirit
Since 2012, the Stingers Organization has offered all local youth the opportunity to....learn basic and advanced football and cheer skills, play a competitive sport, provide town spirit, teach and show good sportsmanship, and make new friends to last a lifetime! Every child deserves the chance to follow their dreams and have some fun along the way! If your child loves football or cheerleading, we are a fit! "In life, as in football, you won't go far unless you know where the goalposts are."
