FOOTBALL

---

The AYF New England Football Program is where young athletes learn the true spirit of the game — teamwork, discipline, and respect — while competing in one of the nation’s most recognized youth football regions.

As part of American Youth Football (AYF), our regional leagues serve thousands of players ages 5–15 across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Each program provides a safe, structured environment where athletes can grow their skills, experience the excitement of competition, and form lifelong friendships.

• Age-Based Divisions: Programs aligned with AYF national standards ensure fair play and player safety.
   
• Progressive Skill Development: From flag to tackle, each level builds on fundamentals and character.
   
• Certified Coaches: All coaches complete required training in safety, technique, and youth development.
   
• Regional & National Competition: Top teams from New England advance to the AYF National Championships in Naples, Florida.
   
• Focus on Character: Every play is an opportunity to learn resilience, accountability, and teamwork.
