Our Beliefs

AYF members believe that each of us can make a difference where we live and how we live. AYF believes that ALL kids deserve equal opportunities, special attention and respect.

AYF's philosophy is to allow local members to govern themselves while remaining non-intrusive.

AYF is the fastest growing youth organization in America, founded in 1996 American Youth Football has grown to over 900,000 members with leagues in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Western Europe, and Asia.

AYF welcomes everyone, regardless of financial capabilities, location, participation, and pledges to support youth football and to do its best to help those leagues who need help in order to build stronger communities.

Giving Back is the mission of AYF. Programs range from: financial grants to leagues who need help; shoes for study programs sponsored by Under Armour; field development programs in conjunction with Field Turf; Rising Stars camps, sending inner-city kids to football camp; recognizing administrators who are making a difference in the AYF Hall of Fame; promoting and administering league to league giving, and recognizing teams and leagues that Give Back to their own communities.
