The Frederick County BOE is trying to balance the fiscal year 2011 budget by possibly cutting out 9th grade and JV sports. The BOE believes this will save money. Unfortunately, they do not realize the actual cost of these sports is very small if anything at all. Example 9th grade sports cost 96K yr. but each participant pays $90 bringing in almost half the total. The balance is easily made up at the gate for admission costs and concessions revenue. In short it costs nothing.
Do your part and contact the county BOE listed here and voice you concern for saving sports in our high schools.

About Indoor Football:
Indoor football in Maryland is heading into its 5th season in 2010, featuring competition from over 120 teams across the state. Marylandyouthfootball.com has taken over the indoor league in order to maximize state competition and visibility. By doing so, this enables MDYF to create a uniform format from which teams will be invited to compete in a state championship at the end of the indoor season!
Indoor football was developed to give children the opportunity to play tackle football with their peers regardless of weight in a fun and safe environment. Our goal is to provide a place for children who only like to play football and a place for children who wanted to play a spring sport as well as football. The practice and game schedules are less intense then the fall season. Please keep in mind that the league has doubled every year and there are constant improvements. Operationally we are learning as we go so some patience and flexibility is needed.
Each team that participates in the Marylandyouthfootball.com indoor football league will be guaranteed 8 games, there will be 8 players per team on the field during game play, and games will run April 1st through June. All indoor games are one hour, with a running clock so don’t there is no need to worry about game delays. Indoor football is a high intensity hard hitting fast game so be ready for some great highlights.
Why did the Indoor program Start?
Indoor football was developed to give children the opportunity to play tackle football with their peers regardless of weight in a fun and safe environment. Our goal is to provide a place for children who only like to play football and a place for children who wanted to play a spring sport as well as football. The practice and game schedules are less intense than the fall season. Please keep in mind that the league has doubled every year and there are constant improvements. Operationally we are learning as we go so some patience and flexibility is needed.
What is the difference between the Indoor season and the Fall/Outdoor Season?
Indoor is less intense in terms of team size, number of practices, volunteers required etc. than outdoor. This is supposed to be relaxed and fun. The emphasis is on playing and learning the fundamentals of tackle football. You can be assured that your child’s safety and enjoyment are always our top priorities. The majority of coaches are fall season coaches.Source: http://marylandyouthfootball.com/ visit for more information.

Check with your local youth football program for registration information regarding the new spring indoor arena full contact football league. If your program is not participating ask them to join in and if not join another area team for the spring football arena experience. It will be an 8 on 8 platform, games played indoors and lots of explosive fun. If you are looking to gain an advantage for fall tryouts and to stay in shape for football then play arena spring 2010!

The MMYFCL has claimed 15 of 24 total #1 Rankings in the state of MD according to DigitalSports.com
at their Maryland State Championship website http://www.digitalsports.com/pages/type/organization/typeid/1592200/id/60363.aspx
The league has really grown and has now proven to be the leader in MD as far as diversity, quality and overall success. Other leagues like the Mountain Valley Youth Football League have no teams ranked in the state top 10? or ranked at all for that matter? So if you have the choice to participate in a program like Urbana, Winfield, West Howard, Linganore or Damascus in the premier MMYFCL league it would make good sense to do so. For example playing for the Mt. Airy Bulldogs offers no chance for state ranking, or a post season state championship contest. All young boys are motivated by dreams and opportunity and playing for a State Championship is one way to encourage them to reach their full potential.
