 Safety is our utmost priority!

 

That’s why OYFL and its volunteers are members of USA Football and we require that all coaches and assistants be certified through USA Football and their Heads up Football program. Beyond being certified OYFL has classes every year for coaches and assistants provided by our safety coordinator that goes through everything the coaches learned in heads up football along with best practices to keep kids safe in practice and on the field.
