RUN, PASS, PLAY!

Games begin Saturday, September 12th–October 17th!

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.

Registration ends Wednesday, August 19th.

Volunteer Coaches

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.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE

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.
