Watch the Neighborhood Section of the Courier-Journal May 2 for registration locations! 

We ask that everyone keep the following former KYFL members in prayer as they recover from the violent storms on March 2;  Henryville, Sellersburg, Scott County, New Washington, & Madison, Indiana.  Those 5 were just a few of the Southern Indiana youth programs that joined the League for 1 season (2 years for Madison) as we helped them organize their own League in Indiana.  May God watch over them in their hour of need!

  Welcome to the Kentuckiana Youth Football League, Inc. This wonderful endeavor founded in 2000 is  the largest youth football league operated solely by volunteers in the nation. It is comprised of teams in Jefferson County and adjacent counties. Our mission is to provide the premier youth football organization by methodical proactiveness ensuring a league in which everyone will be proud to participate. This Kaizan approach to our organization reinforces the need to nurture the youth while continuously improving our product.   Since its inception, the league continues to be governed solely by volunteers endeavoring to provide a positive indelible impression on our youths.

The Paradigm has changed! 

New changes to the business model and structure of the KYFL were introduced to all League Presidents on December 9, 2011.  Having been researched since August; changes were implemented to further strengthen each program.  These were based on sound economic principles allowing each program to grow  by reducing overhead and other fixed costs while increasing registrations, gate attendance, & concession sales. 

Safety still Paramount to the KYFL! 

As always, all games are mandated to have a uniformed Police Officer on duty.  All of our fields of play are inspected and approved by the Kentucky Football Officials Association.  All games are officiated by skilled and certified referrees.  The safety change for 2012 requires all League Presidents to pass annual criminal background checks conducted by the Kentucky State Police and provide copies of those to the League office.  This new threshold provides an additional level of security  to be expected for any person of influence having access to children.  Any program unwilling or unable to submit this information will forfeit their position within the KYFL.

Annual KYFL All-Star Classic

The 2nd annual All-Star game for a Jefferson County Youth Football League was held November 19, 2011.

A special "Thank You" to Stuart Middle School for hosting these 4 games at their wonderful venue. 

With 85 teams it was a daunting task to muster distinguished players chosen by their coaches.  With so many deserving players, the rosters were finally reduced into manageable quantities.  Coaches and players then spent nightly practice sessions under lighted fields in preparation for this brotherly event.  The League has seemingly reached a point of "critical mass" thanks to the wonderful participants. 

The All-Star games were very competitive with 3 of 4 games not being decided until the final play.

  The 2011 Playoffs witnessed 85 teams competing to win their respective division or tier.
