The Ohio Youth Flag Football Association (O.Y.F.F.A) is a 501 (3) (c) non-profit youth recreational flag football organization that is open for boys and girls ages 5 thru 14 years of age. Our mission is to provide safe and enjoyable recreation for all participants while also providing a positive atmosphere where all our kids can succeed.
O.Y.F.F.A's league commissioner is Cecil Doggette.
Cecil Doggette is a former West Virginia University football player and graduate. Cecil has spent 13 years playing professional football with such teams as the Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, San Diego Charges, Columbus Destroyers and Arizona Rattlers of the Arena Football League. Cecil is currently coaching for the Columbus Destroyers as a Defensive Assistant.
Cecil will bring his expertise in football to the O.Y.F.F.A program. With his many professinal and collegiate football ties, O.Y.F.F.A will be scheduling professional and collegiate athletes and coaches, to perform free mini football clinics and autograph signings throughout each O.Y.F.F.A flag football season. We also provide mentoring programs, camps, and tournaments.
The objective of the O.Y.F.F.A programs are to teach our young athletes more than just "wins and losses". There are tremendous life skills to be learned through participating in organized sports and each of these skills will be instilled in every child who becomes a part of the O.Y.F.F.A family. Every child will have an equal amount of playing time in each game. The goal is for our kids to have FUN while learning the importance of sportsmanship, physical fitness and goal setting/achievement.
Additional goals are to focus on athletic/football skills development (speed, quickness, technique, power & agility), and to teach the kids the value of teamwork. Community Service opportunities are also available to those members wishing to participate in helping the less fortunate in our local neighborhoods. It is a very important core component of our organization to have our young men and women grow in confidence and self esteem after participating in our program.
We are currently looking for volunteer coaches. We will provide the training. All we need from you is the desire to help change the lives of our kids.
If you have any questions, concerns or would like to become a volunteer, please email cecildoggette@gmail.com
