AYF Advisory Council
- Jim Taft
Chairman of the Advisory Council
Jim Taft is formerly the vice president of American
Youth Football. He came to American Youth Football with vast experience in
youth work and especially football. Jim retired as National Football
Commissioner with Pop Warner Football in 1993. In 1996, Joe Galat and Dr.
Jack Hutslar asked Jim to join with them in creating American Youth
Football. Joe, as did many other football people, felt that a new dimension
for youth football was needed to encompass other types of football programs
not affiliated with current national programs. Jim served as an executive
director with the Boys Clubs of America in Charlotte, NC, Wallingford, CT and Camden, NJ.
He is a graduate of Belmont Abbey College in Belmont, NC.
