Looking for an even playing field in Mt. Airy?

Quick Facts:  Using fall 2009 scores from the MVYFL website:  In games where Mt. Airy Bulldogs varsity team played other organizations of similar size i.e. Middletown, Gamber and Catoctin they were outscored 60 to 14. ?  In games where they played small programs i.e. FSK, Boonsboro, and FYSA they outscored their opponents 117-0. ?   One of the problems in the MVYFL is small programs ”Brunswick, Boonsboro, FSK” have no way of fielding teams who will be competitive at all levels year after year.  What happens at the beginning of each season.  Well if you are a Mt. Airy Bulldog and you division consists of 5 total programs including you and 3 of the 4 other programs have no way of fielding good teams b/c of sheer low registration numbers in a small community then I guess you can count on a winning record and enjoy scoring 117 points while the competition get destroyed.  I’m not sure how this is good for either team.  One advantage in the MMYFCL is they have so many organizations involved that they match program size and ability so teams are more evenly matched and they do this on an annual basis to create a level playing field.  In MAYAA the same old drum that has been beating for years.  Mt.  Airy hasn’t won a varsity superbowl since the turn of the century even against local small town competiton.  Meanwhile… Linganore, Urbana, Damascus all compete regularly for the league superbowl crown and all have won in the past 6 years vs. big time well known programs throughout the state.  Consistency is important.  Urbana won in 2009 against much stiffer competition including Linganore.  Both were ranked in the state top 10!  Looking for good preperation for your youth football player before high school?  If so you may want to play for an MMYFCL team where the level of play and competition is more likely to bring out the best in any player compared to beating up on FSK Boonsboro and FYSA weekly.  What do you learn while playing against someone who can’t compete?

Maryland Youth Football is now running Indoor Football throughout the state!

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?

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.
