Tackle Football in 2025 will be offered for 3rd - 6th Grade in the fall. Registration closes on Sunday, July 27th.
RYFA does offer financial aid for those who qualify. Learn more about our financial aid program at this link...
Please note, some of these dates are still TBD for the 2025 Season.
Guardian Caps are available for rent starting Fall 2025. You sign up to rent the Guardian Caps when you register your child for the season. More information and an informational video about Guardian Caps can be found here...
Teams will be assigned by the RYFA Commissioners. Teams are established after registration closes. No player shall be permitted to practice until they are assigned to a team. Players that submit late registration requests are placed on a team with availability. Teams are assigned fairly by our commissioners that do not have children playing at that same grade level. RYFA does not accept team or friend requests from coaches, parents or player.
A change of address during the season does not impact a players team assignment.
Parents will be notified of their team assignment directly from the coach via email. Team assignments will also be viewable in your Sports Engine App once players are rostered to a team.
The number of practices per week depends on the grade level. Head Coaches will determine the practice day, time, and location.
The weight limits are established based on the actual weights of the players registered in the league for that grade level. The weight limit for the 2025 season cannot be determined until all players in that grade level are weighed on an official RYFA Scale. Players in grades 3rd-5th are required to weigh-in. Weigh-ins are not currently required for 6th graders.
Players that receive an equipment scholarship will have the opportunity to be weighed by a staff member at Sports Headquarters. If they do not collect your weight at the store, you will be required to attend the RYFA official weigh-in.
If your child cannot come to a weigh-in, they will have the opportunity to be weighed prior to the scrimmage day event. Attending weigh-in is very important to your team and to the league, since we need all players to be weighed to determined the weight limit for the league.
