The MMYFCL or Mid Maryland Youth Football and Cheer League is growing rapidly this year. 2008 welcomes various new programs to the organization including but not limited to: Poolesville Falcons, Damascus Cougars, TJ Patriots and the Columbia Ravens. Koudos to the leadership of this league for aggressively working to improve the league and add more members increasing the overall level of competition and strength in numbers.

The MMYFCL does have great leadership. Every league *says* that they are all about the kids …. The MMYFCL actually IS. They keep faith with the guiding principals for NFL youth football programs and guarantee participation for every child in the league.
The MMYFCL must-play rule is competently enforced too. If all the kids have not been given their play time by the end of the 3rd quarter the referees will stop the game and force the offending coach to put the kids in the game.
I-70 merged with the MMYFCL for exactly this reason. I-70 was founded to take care of the kids that other leagues did not want. Now that there is a MMYFCL, I-70 was eager to join forces and provide the added venue to the MMYFCL portfolio.
The MMYFCL has gained I-70’s wealth of experience and knowledge of safely playing bigger children in youth football. The safety record for I-70 was astonishing. The incident rate was less than half the national average despite fielding larger kids! That experience and knowledge only existed in I-70, and now serves to provide all of the MMYFCL with a new opportunity for their teams.
Clubs that participate in the MMYFCL have four venues in which to place teams, allowing the club to formulate a custom fit that best suits the needs of their children. Little guys are not forced to play with over-sized kids and big kids can play in a division made just for them. New players can be on real team of their own, and will not just serve as a “practice squad” for some privileged team.
I read on the web site of a MVYFL club that their league is the “premier league” in our area!?!?! Well, the MMYFCL has:
Over 22 clubs
Four divisions tailored to fit the needs of any local football program
A must-play rule at every level
Access to state championships
The support USA Football
A top notch web site that reports scores and standings within 24 hours
Is self-funded without “league fees” from participating clubs
What is it that makes the MVYFL “premier”?
