Mentor Cardinal Youth Football

Mentor Cardinal Youth Football MCYFA works in connection with the Mentor Varsity Football and Cheerleading Program. The same would apply to a youth cheerleader.

To provide young athletes an opportunity to play football and cheer in a good moral and ethical environment under the supervision of certified coaches with an emphasis on scholastics and physical fitness throughout our geographical area. MCYFA uses the same terminology, formations, and cheers of the varsity programs to ensure our players' success from youth to middle school through high school. If

a youth football player started when they are 6 years old and continue to play through their senior year of high school, they would have worked within the same offense, skills, drills, terminology, and overall philosophy for nearly 12 years. We are in the Great Lakes Youth Football League (www.glyfl.com). We only compete with teams within GLYFL. We are a "weight limit" and "age" controlled league providing a safe experience for our players. C Division - 6 and 7 years old on June 1, 2024 - 90 lb maximum weight to carry the ball

B Division - 8 and 9 years old on June 1, 2024 - 150 max weight / 125 max weight to carry the ball

A Division - 10 to 12 years old on June 1, 2024 - 170 max weight / 145 max weight to carry the ball

12 Year Old's must not turn 13 before November 1
9 Year Old's wanting to play in "A" Division must be 10 before August 1st. A and B Divisions are 11 on 11 tackle football. C Division is 7 on 7 tackle football. Cheerleading is for ages 5-12 years old. 5 year old's must be attending Kindergarten. Cheerleaders will be paired with their siblings to include football players. All necessary equipment and uniforms are provided to the players by MCYFA. Home games will be at Mentor High School Football Stadium. Practice locations will be at a field location within Mentor Schools. All teams will start with 1 head coach / player and 1 assistant coach and player. All other players will be drafted according to GLYFL rules. Each team will be a maximum of 6 coaches, 1 photographer, 2 water boys under the age of 14

Our football helmets are off to be recertified!

Player safety is our #1 priority.

Most of these helmets were purchased brand new two years ago. Per the National Operating Committee Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE), helmets are required to be recertified every two years.

During the process, each helmet is disassembled, broken parts are replaced, shells are repainted if needed, and then they are reassembled back to OEM standards.
