The UYIFL is excited to bring FULL CONTACT youth football indoors for our 2nd Season! The UYIFL will once again bring our youth inside for our Spring 2009 Season to further develop and enhance their outdoor football skills! To keep it consistent for the players, we play 11 on 11 and same rules as outdoors (with a few minor adjustments for field size)!!

We are growing, have two new fields, and are very excited! Our Salt Lake City games and Championship games will be played at the Spence Eccles Fieldhouse (UofU indoor practice facility) at 645 S Guardsman Way (1580 E). Our North Division teams will be playing at the Kaysville Sportsplex at 1188 Sportsplex Drive. Both facilities are EXCITED to have us, and they both have nice astro turf so the players can wear their rubber cleats!  

The Executive Board and coaches of the UYIFL understand the love of football and encourage youth to play whenever and wherever they can!

LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FIELD!

IT'S HOT!!

Your entire team could be going to a UTAH BLAZE game in 2009...the ULTIMATE FUN in Indoor Football!

How about a little pre-season "Fun-Raising" UYIFL team competition?

The UYIFL is excited to partner up with the UTAH BLAZE to Raise some Fun for our league! It's "Fun-Raising"!

Each UYIFL player will have the opportunity to sell ticket vouchers which may be used for any 2009 Utah Blaze home game! The team that meets the minimum AND with the highest tickets sold will receive a Pizza Party and tickets for your whole team to attend a Utah Blaze game! AND, a possibility of our league showing up on the jumbotron at a Blaze game! OR maybe a surprise visit from Chief at one of your games! Lots of "Fun-Raising"!

There will also be other cool Utah Blaze items for MORE individual and team prizes!

And...the COOLEST part...your team will receive a portion of your team sales to use for your team...practice time, equipment, or whatever the coaches decide! The rest will be used to purchase pads for the indoor field and other field equipment needed!

WAIT! There's MORE "Fun-Raising"! We will also have group tickets available for purchase from the UYIFL for teams or families that would like to attend a UTAH BLAZE 2009 game!

Information will be available at registration Saturday, Dec. 6th, or through the UYIFL! Get your team "fired" up to start NOW! You have until the end of January to get your team at the top and to a UTAH BLAZE game!

THANK YOU!

FEES are $220 per player. This includes equipment rental, and jersey to keep. You will need to provide mouth guard and shoes. If your team can get their own equipment (helmet, shoulder pads, pants w/ pads), there is a $50 deduction taken from registration. This will need to be done at the in-person registrations. Helmets, jerseys and pants must match. Jerseys will be provided for the players to keep.

We will not be able to accept debit or credit cards. Cash or check only.

AVOID THE RUSH!! Online Registration is going on NOW and will continue through December 8, or until team slots are filled. Because we play on indoor fields, space is limited. It is exciting that we have overwhelming response from parents and players, therefore, we will work to have even more facilities in the future to accomodate the growth!

When registering online PLEASE:

1. Make sure all information is complete and correct. Email addresses and phone numbers make communication much easier!
2. If your child is playing or wishes to play for a specific coach in the UYIFL, please enter the coaches name in the appropriate box. While we will do our best to place your child on that team, we cannot guarantee placement once the team is full. All others leave blank and your coach will contact you as soon as teams are organized.
3. The registration page asks for your agreement with the waiver. Please read the waiver in its entirety. In addition, once registration is completed, there is a button for a printable version of the waiver.  You must print, fill in all information, and sign the waiver for our records. (It is recommended you print one for your own records). You may also come to an in-person registration to fill out and sign the waiver. Please mail signed waiver to: 

       UYIFL c/o Jana Acton 295 East 200 South    Kaysville, UT 84037

NO CHILD WILL BE ALLOWED TO PLAY WITHOUT PARENTAL APPROVAL AND SIGNED WAIVER!

DOCUMENTS NEEDED PRIOR TO FIRST PRACTICE: Online registrants may either mail them to above address, or bring them to in-person registration.

1. Birth Certificate (copy for our records)

2. Physical examination required for players with specific health concerns.

3. Signed waiver

There is a $40.00 fee for all returned checks which must be paid in full in order for your child to play.

Weights UPDATED!!

After some discussions, we have decided to change the Z-down weights just a bit. It will be in our official by-laws available online soon! In order for an older to play down, he/she must meet this weight, which is set at 20lbs below X weight in each division. Also, we will be using the term "Z-down" rather than OBL (Older But Lighter).

We organize our divisions by age rather than neighborhoods. We want to keep players as close to their neighborhood as possible, however. Please note that you may travel to a nearby city if there aren't enough players near you. Encourage your friends to register!

(Due to limited space and limited participation from age 15 and above (Giants) , we currently do not have online registration for this age group. Please do not register online. If anyone is interested in adding this age division, we need to have a minimum of 75 players in order to establish enough teams. Contact us via email at sc.uyifl@gmail.com if you have this many players. If the younger teams fill up first, however, they will receive the game times.)

 AGE   (as of Sept. 1, 2008)                               

Gremlins          8-9                             X Man    90      Z/OBL  70

Pee Wee          10                               X Man  105      Z/OBL  85

Mitey Mites    11                               X Man  120      Z/OBL  100

Midget             12                               X Man  135      Z/OBL  115

Bantam            13-14                         X Man  155      Z/OBL  135

Varsity              15-16                         X Man  175          

Z-down rule: The UYIFL allows 3 players to Z-down (OBL in WFFL) per team. This is to prevent teams from stacking older players in younger teams. 

Can a player play up? Only if it allows him to remove an X in the older division.                                   

The players will play in the same age division as their outdoor Fall Season 2008. They will move up to the next division in their outdoor Fall Season 2009.

We reserve the right to cancel and issue refunds to any players in a division without enough teams to play. Minimum is 4 teams per division, maximum is 8.

KICK-OFF will be FEBRUARY 14th, 2009!

Games will be played on Saturdays beginning February 14th. Games in Salt Lake City will begin at 2:30pm, and last game will end at 9:30pm. We will play the younger divisions earlier as much as possible. Games in Kaysville will begin in the morning, and finish early or late afternoon.

Single elimination playoffs will be the weekend of May 9th, with some games on a weeknight and all day Saturday. We will have our Championship Games May 16th, 2009 to complete the season before Memorial Day and family summer activities! Championship games will be played in Salt Lake City.

Please note: If we reach capacity for teams, playoffs may be moved to May 16th, with Championships on May 30th....no games May 23rd.

Our mission in the UTAH YOUTH INDOOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE, INC.  is to allow youth an opportunity to participate in the game of football on an indoor field, teaching them the fundamentals of the game and further developing their skills with an emphasis on sportsmanship, teamwork, discipline, respect and interaction with youth their age while being coached/mentored by adults who emulate these standards. Every youth who has the wish and desire to play, regardless of experience, skill or ethnicity, will be afforded that opportunity in the UYIFL.  

The UYIFL recognizes that the youth of today are the future leaders of our country and world, and they will build strength, success, and confidence while participating in our league in order to reach their great potential. Winning does not make a winner, and losing does not make a loser...its how you play the game, on and off the field! 

 Support our league by donating online NOW!

One of our goals at the UYIFL is to allow the opportunity for all youth to play football, yet many hard working families aren't able to afford the cost for their kids.

We will provide fundraising opportunities for those who wish to supplement their fees, and a discount to those with proof of school fee waiver eligibility. Discounts will not be given online, registration needs to be in person.

We are always looking for sponsors and/or donations to assist us in many areas. Your name and/or company name will be listed on our front page and Sponsor link. Other sponsorship packages are available.  We are a non-profit organization, donations may be tax deductible.
