Representatives of Lacey American Youth Football (AYF), The Lacey Football Foundation, The Lacey Gridiron Club and Coach Lou Vircillo (Lacey High School Football Head Coach), met on the evening of July 10, 2013 for the purposes of insuring that the tradition that is "Lacey Football" continues at all age levels.

The Lacey Football Foundation (who represents the football alumni) and Coach Vircillo have recommended a cooperative structure between Lacey AYF and the Lacey Gridiron Club for the purpose of providing Lacey Township with the youth football programs it deserves. The two organizations expressed and agreed on the importance of providing continuity between Lacey AYF and The Lacey Gridiron Club in order to provide the families of Lacey Township a comprehensive football experience at all levels.
