General Program Overview

We are pleased that you selected Patriots Youth Football. We participate in the Northern Vermont Youth Football League (NVYFL) and operate within the League Rules of that program. Specifically, all NVYFL teams follow the high school rules of football, with some additional rules tailored specifically to provide a safer sport for youth grades 2-8.

Our practices are held in the evenings during the week and games are on Saturdays with some additional games mid-week for tackle program.  Flag games are held during the week. Some weeknight and/or weekend scrimmages take place to enhance the players’ skills in an ongoing effort to give everyone an opportunity to play.
