Buckeye Youth Football Association: Welcome
|
|
We started with one team, the Jaguars, who began play in 1996. The Jets were added in 2000, and the Buccaneers joined us in the 2001 season. The 2008 Season saw the creation of the Pee Wee Division for 7 and 8 year olds, and the downsizing of the JV Division to contain only 9 and 10 year olds. We also reduced our Flag Division to 1 team and they are known as the Bucks to identify with our high school team. This season there is more change as the Buccanneers have been dissolved and we continue on with the Jaguars and the Jets. There is sadness in losing a team, however we feel that the overall effect will strengthen the other 2 teams and the program in general.
Since the 1999 Season Buckeye teams have made 7 appearances in the Championship Game, 4 by the Jaguars and 3 by the Jets. The Jags claimed championships in 1999 & 2000, and the Jets in 2003.
We have been committed to building a successful program that helps Buckeye Bucks high school program build a winning tradition. The Bucks have made 3 State Playoff appearances in the last 5 years. Over the past 13 years there have been over 450 different players, 210 cheerleaders and 80 coaches involved with Buckeye Youth Football. The program has gotten better every year, we grew from 38 kids our first season in 1996, to over 170 in each of the last three seasons. Our peak season was over 200 during the 2003 season. For the 2009 Season we have 181 players and cheerleaders registered.
Our web site has a page for each of the 2 teams broken down to squads by division for players and cheerleaders. Feel free to click on any of the menu items to the left and explore the team sites, rosters, pictures, schedules, history, etc. Updates are done to the pages as we get new information. Please click on and sign our Guestbook at the bottom of the page we would like to have your comments! Thanks for dropping by!

We are looking for coaches for the Jets Varsity Cheerleaders. The best scenario is to have a Head Cheer Coach and an assistant coach. The girls need a coach in order to get the practices and season under way. If you are interested in coaching the cheerleaders please contact Wren Roskey by phone at 330.722.2199 or by email at wrenroskey@buckeyeyouthfootball.com.

Buckeye Youth Football appreciates having Dick's Sporting Goods as a sponsor of our program. Over the last 3 seasons they have donated footballs and other equipment for our players and coaches, coupons for special promotions in order for our players to purchase shoes, etc. in their stores, and partnered with the Cleveland Browns to provide tickets to preseason games in 2007 & 2008. The also provided 'Dick's Dollars' for the league to purchase items that we need for the program.
We want to thank Dick's Sporting Goods for providing these items for our players and cheerleaders and look forward to having their backing this season and in future seasons. You can visit their website by clicking on their logo above.
