Football Program
The Federation's tackle football program is designed as a "competitive" sports activity, which operates under the base playing rules of the NCAA with appropriate modifications to account for the young people we serve. The members/teams within the Federation are encouraged to hold practice sessions geared toward teaching the fundamentals of the game and incorporate various strategies in preparation for competitive game play.
Unlike other local youth football organizations, the Federation plays all of its games on regulation football fields (100x53 yards). We accomplish this through productive relationships with the local school districts, churches, and other community organizations. It is our intent to act as a feeder program for the school districts in which we have participating teams and players.
In the fall of 2020, the Federation developed a 7v7 football program, and set the spring of 2021 as the inaugural competitive season.

Divisions of Play
In 2015, the Youth Football Federation developed a program to better fit the needs of new, emerging, and developing organizations/teams, as well as our existing members. We expanded our football program by organizing two distinct divisions of play, Division I & Division II. Both Divisions have their own playoff system and championship events at the end of the season.
Division I
Division I is structured for existing member organizations/teams that are considered competitively strong on several levels. Some individuals have used the term “elite” to describe these organizations, but it applies only to the competition level.
Division II
Division II is structured for new and emerging member organizations/teams, as well as organizations/teams that are more developmental in nature as a result of a limited pool of athletes in which to pull from in their operational areas. This will provide an opportunity for those kids to have an increased level of success on the field.
