Rochester Youth Football League: Welcome

Welcome to the 2012 Football Season for Rochester Youth Football League.
Where the kids come first, the sport comes second and winning is the added benefit.
          We are a well established organization with over 40 years of history supporting the youth of the Rochester area. We are the feeder program for the Little Red Raider Football and Cheering organization.
          We take great pride in our program and it's facilities. Take a look around the website. I hope that you will find it helpful. I am looking forward to the upcoming season as your RYFL Commissioner. I have had some great experience as coach of the Green - Fighting Irish Team for 15 years. I have been a member of the RYFL Board as well. I take great pride in the program.

Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.  332-0994
