The Formation of the FederationThe Youth Football and Cheer Federation of America, Inc. was formed in November of 2010 to support the wishes and desires of several team presidents to have an alternative to the now defunct Youth Football League (YFL), and its leadership that offered equal and fair treatment to all member organizations. Thus, with approximately 10 out of 21 YFL organizations contacting Edward Hart, YFL Co-Founder and League Commissioner to start a new league, and the apparent perpetual issues and concerns with the YFL's leadership, the Federation was born. Almost immediately after the initial announcements of the existence of the Federation, several other organizations around the metropolitan area expressed interest in joining the Federation.

Youth Cheerleading The Federation's youth cheerleading program includes many opportunities for development, and also provides a chance to compete in events locally and around the country. Youth 7v7 Football The Federation's Spring 7v7 football program is designed as a developmental sports activity with a high-level of competition as well. It is designed to focus on the passing game to match today's high-flying passing philosophies of high school and college coaches. Coach and Player Development The Federation has partnered with USA Football to provide additional training programs to facilitate the continued growth and development of both players and coaches. |

This award is intended to recognize all our youth participants for excellence in the classroom. Community Service The Federation supports charitable giving and sharing with its participants and staff members in an effort to teach the virtues of giving back to the community.
