On behalf of the Matteson Youth Athletic Association, we thank you for being a part of the Matteson Bears family. This season we enjoyed successes on both our football and cheer levels and it is because of the commitment, dedication and hard work of our coaching staff, volunteers and the Board of Directors. During the off-season, you can stay up-to-date with Matteson Bears happenings, by following us on Facebook or checking out our Upcoming Events & News Page.
