Mission
The mission of the Franklin Youth Football Association (FYFA) is to provide a learning football experience for 6th, 7th and 8th grade boys and girls.
We will work to develop qualities such as teamwork, sportsmanship, discipline, confidence & physical ability. It is our intention to provide each participant with the basic football techniques & experience needed to better prepare them for the next level of competition. They will gain these qualities and experiences through participation at both the practice and game level.
FYFA is an independent, community volunteer program, yet we will work together with the Franklin High School football program to insure the kids will receive the necessary skills they will need to advance their football careers at the high school level.
We believe these principles to be true, regardless of the ability of the individual and these goals and qualities will provide the kids success both on and off the playing field.

Program
This is a full contact program with two teams at the 6th, 7th & 8th grade levels. Participants are expected to learn an offensive & defensive position. The first week of practice will focus on conditioning - which is required for all participants. We are concerned for the physical safety of the participant & it is imperative they prepare themselves prior to the start of practice.
Participants will be given the opportunity to try out for any position. Please remember - the needs of the team & the coaches skill assessments will determine the position that will be assigned to the participant.
