Welcome
Welcome to York Adams Elementary Football League (YAEFL). Our league provides a fun and safe environment for children to learn the fundamentals of contact football. We place an emphasis on learning new skills. Our goals are to ensure confidence, a positive attitude, and to make sure our participants get the most out of their experience. At this young age there is a lot more to a game than winning. We take the time to make sure our children know the fundamentals of the game and the importance of practice and working hard to succeed. We stress teamwork and working to develop a love for the game.
In accordance with our mission as an instructional league we have partnered with USA Football and the NFL to adopt a better and safer way to play football. Heads Up Football® is a comprehensive program developed by USA Football to advance player safety in the game of football.
This program includes the only nationally recognized coach’s certification. Concussion and safety training certified by the CDC. Player Safety Coaches in each organization to ensure that all guidelines are being met at practice and during games.
We believe that the game of football can be taught in a way that builds confidence, work ethic, and leadership in our players!
