American Youth Football, Inc.,
established in 1996, is an international youth football organization
established to promote the wholesome development of youth through their
association with adult leaders in the sport of American football. Rules and
regulations are established to ensure that players play in an atmosphere of
safety with a competitive balance between teams.
American Youth Football is on a mission to GIVE BACK to the community.
The NFL recognizes this
firm commitment and AYF
has been made a national youth partner of the National Football League.
AYF members believe that each of us can make a difference where we live and
how we live. AYF believes that ALL kids deserve equal opportunities, special
attention and respect.
AYF's philosophy is to allow local members to govern themselves while
remaining non-intrusive.
AYF is the fastest growing youth organization in America, founded in 1996
American Youth Football has grown to over 450,000 members with leagues in
all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Western Europe, and Asia.
AYF welcomes everyone, regardless of financial capabilities, location,
participation, and pledges to support youth football and to do its best to
help those leagues who need help in order to build stronger communities.
Giving Back is the mission of AYF. Programs range from: financial grants to
leagues who need help; shoes for kids programs sponsored by Nike Global;
field development in conjunction with Field Turf; Rising Stars camps, which
send inner-city kids to football camp; recognizing administrators who are
making a difference in the AYF Hall of Fame; in partnership with ADAMS USA,
making league safety and communication a priority.
We want to be the most user-friendly youth sports
organization in North America. We need your help! Most of you have responded
with a strong suggestion to KEEP THE PAPERWORK TO A MINIMUM! We have done
that.
