Founded in early 2024 by Rhmondo Rodriquez with Eric Hester, the 4 City Wolves are a non-profit organization bringing 7v7 football to Davenport, Iowa. Coach Rodriquez started the team to give his son, Rhmondo Rodriquez Jr., a chance to play football in the offseason. The 4 City Wolves started with 9 players and have grown much larger since then, recruiting students from Sudlow Middle School (where Coach Rodriquez coaches 8th grade football), Williams Middle School, Bettendorf Middle and High School, Davenport Central, Smart Middle School, Davenport West High School, and even Cedar Rapids.
With such a low player count in their opening season, the 4 City Wolves initially struggled to compete, playing in the 14U division with many of their players below the age limit. Despite that, they continued to play, practice, and grow as a team, recruiting more players and working together to improve their game both in 7v7 and regular season football in the fall. In the previous 2025 season, the 4 City Wolves saw their hard work pay off, with their 12U team going on a win streak, and their 14U team able to secure the win for the Midwest Championship silver bracket.
That win was a turning point for the team. Not only did it prove to their players that they had what it takes to win big, but it brought much more attention to the 4 City Wolves, always looking to recruit more players. According to Coach Rodriquez, the sentiment from many new parents coming to the team was “we always liked y’all energy, but now y’all playing ball.” And the 4 City Wolves are still only just getting started.
For Coach Rodriquez, the mission of the 4 City Wolves is not just about football, but providing their students with year round activities and new opportunities. The team is looking forward to traveling to different states for tournaments and events, and participating in MidAmerica 7v7 tournaments, including the Back 2 Ballin High tournament from April 18-19. Coach Rodriquez hopes that these out of state events will show his students what their competition in other states is like, letting them meet new people who they will be able to stay connected with and compete with for many years to come.
