The Northern Youth Football League (NYFL) winds up it's fifth season at Auburn Hills Civic Center Park with Super Bowl Saturday. The Brandon Jr. Blackhawks (10-0) return to the Freshman Super Bowl, taking on the Clarkston Chiefs "Blue" (7-2) squad in a match-up of previous Super Bowl Champions. Brandon won the inaugural NYFL title with a 27-7 win over Lk. Orion while Clarkston followed up the next year with an 8-0 overtime victory against Lapeer. Pontiac and Clarkston "White" won Super Bowls III and IV respectively. Pontiac (9-0) returns for the second consecutive year, and fourth time overall, at the JV level. The Panthers won it all in 2005, topping Brandon 19-6, but lost in 2006 and 2008. The Birmingham Patriots "Blue" (8-1) make their first appearance in the Championship. Clarkston "Blue" ('06), Lk. Orion ('07), and Clarkston "White" ('08) won previous titles. Waterford (9-0) makes it third consecutive Super Bowl, looking to rebound from last year's 19-18 overtime loss to Clarkston. Waterford won their only title in 2007, a 20-13 victory over Pontiac. Birmingham (7-2) is making it's first appearance. Pontiac ('05, '06) won the other two Super Bowls at the Varsity level.
The Varsity playoffs will only be two rounds with the winners of the playoff games facing off in the Super Bowl.

Academic All-American Program
About the NYFL...
It has become a NYFL tradition to recognize academic achievement. At halftime. of each divisional Super Bowl, student-athletes are recognized from each franchise. The recognition is to remind everyone that success on the field is secondary to what is achieved in the classroom. Each student had a B- average or better and in 2008 over one thousand Cheerleaders and Football players qualified.
The focus being on community, the NYFL has the support of local school districts and/or governments and plays at some of the best facilities with five of the nine franchises playing on Field Turf. This is the same playing surface that the Detroit Lions and University of Michigan use. All facilities have concessions and proper amenities.
The NYFL is not a "centralized" league and each team conducts their own registration. For more information about each team, click "NYFL Team Links" on the left information bar.The league is divided into three divisions: Freshman, Junior Varsity and Varsity. The Freshman athletes are 8 and 9 years old. The Junior Varsity athletes are 10 and 11 years old. The Varsity athletes are 12, 13 and 14 years old. Ages are based on September 1 of the current year. Please see rules for weight limits. The season usually consists of 8 games that are played on a Saturday or Sunday. There are no practices or games over the Labor Day weekend. When possible, night games are added to increase playing experience and atmosphere. In 2008, NYFL Super Bowl IV was hosted by the Brandon franchise at Brandon High School's new state of the art facility. Round 1 was played at Clarkston Jr. High, Birmingham Seaholm High School, Waterford Pierce Middle School, and Wisner Stadium in Pontiac. Round 2 was played at Auburn Hills Civic Center Field and Dryden High School.
