YFFL is where young athletes in 1st through 6th grade learn the game, build confidence, and have fun! This is a great way to build teamwork, meet new friends, and develop skills.
Even if they are new to the game of football, YFFL is the perfect place to learn, compete, and just have fun together.
All practices and games are located at the YMCA Uptown Park.
Practices will start the week of August 30th, the day and time you signed up for is the day and time you will have practice.
We’re looking for two volunteer coaches for each team. No prior coaching experience is required! We provide practice plans for each practice along with all the equipment needed!
We ask for just enthusiasm and a willingness to help players grow and enjoy the game. You’ll receive a $15 credit to your YMCA account at the end of the season! Credit can be used on any Y program or membership.
At the Y, we believe all children should have the chance to participate in sports camps, leagues, and programming. Learn more about our Jeff Buczek Memorial Scholarship and apply to register your child for any sport or swim programming, regardless of financial standing below.
Register for the practice time that works for your child. Teams are then formed from these groups.

Become a volunteer coach!! Earn a $15 credit that can be used for any programming!
Practice plans & equipment is provided to coaches. All you do is show up and coach! Coaches will coach their participant team.
Practices will be at the day and time you selected. If you are unsure of what day & time you signed up for, check the receipt or call 989-895-8596 and the time front desk can help you!
All practices will be at YMCA Uptown Park (across the street from the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA)
Yes you can! However, keep in mind that we only allow one teammate request. This helps keep it fun for everyone participating!
Games will be played as the schedule follows, unless notified with something different. An email will be sent out for all cancellations.
Teams will be formed the week after registration closes. If you do not hear anything before your first practice, show up to the day and time you signed up for and YMCA staff will be able to help you find where you need to go.
Individuals will not be turned away from participating in programs, activities, and/or membership due to their inability to pay. The Y maintains a generous financial assistance program for youth, adults, and families who demonstrate financial need. Funding for this program is provided by fundraising events at the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA and community-wide donors.
There is a reduced joining fee. $25 for Youth/Teen, $25 for Adult, and $50 for Household memberships.
