AYF has 3 distinct divisions of play for all of it’s National Tournament Membership. In each case Kids compete with kids of similar age and/or size.

AYF believes in building communities of strong leaders, by encouraging and rewarding strong academic achievement, teaching the lessons of dedication, honest effort, and fair play, special athletes emerge to become the leaders of our great country.

AYF and its volunteers and sponsors share the dream that every child who wants to play football or cheer has the opportunity despite financial constraints. This prompted the “Circle Of Giving Back” concept. Each child enrolled in the AYF program is encouraged to remember and thank their parents and the many volunteers who selflessly give of themselves to their communities in which they live in order to model and promote community involvement to tomorrows leaders.
