**New this season** We now have 5th/6th grade flag football played with soft helmets!

This Golf Tournament is our biggest fundraiser of the year and contributes to majority of our funding for our program. If you are able to help donate time to prep with our Golf Tournament or interested in helping on the day of the event : Thursday, Sept. 5th. Please contact our Fundraising Director, Bella Bybee. These volunteer hours for the Golf Tournament will count towards your volunteer hours for the season. 

more coaches are still needed!

Those interested in becoming a coach for one of our flag/tackle teams please sign up ASAP to begin your registration process. 

This takes time, sooner you register, the earlier we can get all requirements completed. 

We need volunteers for all levels for (flag) Head /Assistant Coaches & (tackle) Assistant/ Safety Coaches. 

We are looking for new volunteers in our football community to help fill these various roles for the upcoming season. Please help us spread the word or inquire within. 

Most board members have been part of our GYF Board for several years and we are in need of brining on new people to help lighten the workload & who will help assist/train to eventually takeover the position.
