Sudbury Youth Football and Cheer are offering a new program

Sudbury Youth Football and Cheer is excited to announce a change in the structure of the football program beginning this year.  Specifically, SYFC will be offering a flag football option for our youngest players, provided that there is sufficient interest.  The intent of this change in the program is to introduce the game of football to 2nd and 3rd graders in a fun, less competitive environment without the time commitment required for contact football.  Here are the details:

 

Does it cost the same as contact football?:  No, the cost will be $150.

Is there as much practice required as contact football?:  No, we anticipate practice would start in late August, and there would be 1-2 practices per week after Labor Day.

When will the games be played?:  We have not yet developed a game schedule, but we intend to have 6-8 games on Sunday mornings.

 

Who can participate:  2nd and 3rd graders.  The flag teams will be combined 2nd/3rd Grade teams.

 

What if my 3rd Grader wants to play contact football?:  He can play on the 4th Grade team.

 

Will we play other towns?:  We are working on creating a schedule and hope to have a mix of in-town and out-of-town opponents.

 

How do I register?  Go to www.sudburyyouthfootballandcheer.com and click on 2014 On-line Registration.  If you want to register your 2nd/3rd grader for flag football, you can do so here.  You can also register your 3rd grader for the 4th grade team here as well.  The same information and paper work is required for flag football as contact football.

 Cheer  has also added a younger  Mites team consisting of ages 5, 6, 7, that will start in late August and run through the football season. Register today!
