Focused on building community and helping kids realize a passion for the game

River Falls Youth Football Association's (RFYFA) goal is focused on building community and helping kids realize a passion for the game of football.

Our Youth flag football program is designed for boys and girls entering 1st through 6th grades in the current calendar year. Whether 5-on-5, 6-on-6, or 7-on-7, the players enhance their knowledge and skills while being led by parent volunteer coaches.

The River Falls Youth Football Association has created a plan for specific items we would like to be able to focus on at each grade level. These plans were created to help coaches and parents understand what the youth athletes should be learning and working on at each level.

We researched and gathered information from other national groups like USA Football, NFL Flag, UA Flag, Pop Warner Football, etc. and modified it to represent River Falls Youth Football.

With that, the league format, rules, and playbook were designed to develop and prepare the youth athletes for the River Falls School District's Middle School and High School programs.

As the head coach at River Falls High School, I’d like to welcome you to Wildcat Football! As a high school program, we want our young athletes to learn to love football in a safe, competitive, and fun environment. RFYFA does a fabulous job of providing all young athletes with an opportunity to do all three of those things. One of my favorite things about RFYFA is developing a connection between our high school players and our youth football players. That shared sense of community and purpose is what makes River Falls great. I can’t wait to see you out on the field this Fall. Go Wildcats!
