RYFB is a member of the West Michigan Youth Football League and a proud member of USA Football. We offer 2 programs:
Flag Football: This is a low key introduction to the game of football for kids grades Pre-School through 2nd Grade (Minimum age of 4 as of September 1st of the current year). We divide the kids into 2 sub-groups so the kids will be playing with other kids that are the same grade division. The two sub-groups are for kids grades Pre-School - DK - Kindergarten and another for 1st and 2nd Grades. There are just 4 games over a 5 week period. The Flag Program continues to grow at 10-20% each year. We average about 35 teams across both flag divisions each year. Tackle Football: This is our tackle football program and kids Grades 3rd - 7th (minimum age is 8 as of September 1st of current year) are eligible to play. Players are divided in separate sub-groups so each will be playing with others that are in the same grade division. The groups are 3rd & 4th, 5th & 6th, and 7th Grade. There are 7 games over a ~9 week period. Player safety is our number one goal. All coaches must go through USA Football Heads Up training and certification.
