❤️ Tackle Hunger with SIYFL! 🏈

We’re proud to host our 2nd Annual SIYFL Championship Games Food Drive!

As we come together to celebrate our athletes and our community, let’s also come together to support local families facing food insecurity. Every nonperishable food donation, big or small, can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

Please consider bringing canned goods or other nonperishable food items to help put food on the tables of families in need. Together, we can spread kindness and show what it truly means to be part of a community.

Let’s come together and tackle hunger! ❤️🏈

Thank you for helping SIYFL make a difference!

🤝 A Message from the League
As we head into high-stakes playoff territory, we want to emphasize that player safety, good sportsmanship, and a fun environment are our absolute priorities. League Directors work closely with the Bannock County Sheriff’s Department to handle any disruptive or unsafe spectator behavior immediately.

Finally, please take a quick second to say "thank you" to our field commissioners, league directors, coaches, and volunteers. They spend a massive amount of personal, unpaid time executing this season for over 1,300 local athletes. Even when a tough official's call or rule doesn't swing your way, a little appreciation goes a long way!
Thank you for an incredible 2026 season, and we can't wait to see you back on the gridiron next year!

Every kid deserves the chance to hear the whistle blow, run onto the field, and feel the unforgettable thrill of being part of a team. But for dozens of children right here in Southeast Idaho, that dream is cut short before the season even starts simply because their families cannot afford the registration fees.

Every year, between 30 and 40 local kids—many raised by hard working parents, living in disadvantaged neighborhoods, or belonging to families drowning in unexpected medical debt—are left watching from the sidelines.

You can change that today.

You can make a profound difference in a child's life by participating in our special raffle. Every single dollar raised goes directly into our Scholarship Fund, ensuring that no child is ever benched by financial hardship.

By entering our raffle, you have the chance to win an authenticated, framed NFL jersey signed by Idaho’s own Taysom Hill. More importantly, 100% of your ticket purchase goes directly to our Scholarship Fund. You aren't just buying a chance to win sports history—you are giving a local child a season of hope, belonging, and joy. Please support our young athletes today and help us keep their dreams alive.
