Welcome to the Northern Youth Football League. The NYFL was founded in 2005 and created with a "KIDS FIRST" philosophy to promote youth Cheerleading, Football, and Pom Pon. The league currently has 9 franchises with some fielding multiple squads. Member franchises currently include:
Auburn Hills Makos
Birmingham Patriots Brandon Jr. Blackhawks Clarkston Chiefs Lake Orion Dragons Lapeer Steelers Oxford Jr. Wildcats Pontiac Panthers Waterford Corsairs
With the focus on community, the NYFL has the support of local school districts and/or governments. The League plays at some of the best facilities with, currently, five of the eight 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 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 consists of 8 games which are usually played on a Saturday or Sundays. 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 brand new state of the art facility. Round 1 was played at Clarkston Jr. High, Seaholm High School, Pierce Middle School, and Wisner Stadium in Pontiac. Round 2 was played at Auburn Hills Civic Center Field and Dryden High School.
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 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. For league expansion and franchise information, send inquiries to northernyouthfootball@yahoo.com.
