NMYFL 2021 Season Review
The 2021 season started on Monday, August 30th with a limited schedule of 4th, 5th and 6th grade games this week. It was a season that returned us to some form of normalcy as we continue to battle the pandemic. We have 46 tackle teams and our four community associations back in action this year.
In 2021, we also added Centennial to the Flag Football portion of our league as they joined original members, Blaine and Spring Lake Park to form a 14-team league. No scores or standings are kept at this level, but these teams are the future players of our league.
Thanks to all the coaches, players, referees, spectators and board members of our associations for making this season possible. It was great to see everyone out watching youth football and having a good time.
We had more than 750 players, 150 coaches and 25 referees in our league this season.
See you next August!
2022 LEAGUE INFORMATION
Introduction
The North Metro Youth Football League (“NMYFL”) enters its 8th year in 2022. The league is a collaboration of communities located in the north metro of the Twin Cities organized to provide a tackle football league for youth. In 2017 the NMYFL had its highest number of teams serving 63 tackle teams, 200+ coaches, and 1,340+ players across grades 2-6. The league also welcomed Coon Rapids at grades 2-6 and St Francis at grade 2.
In 2015, the first year of the league, we served community based football associations of: Blaine, Centennial, Coon Rapids, Irondale, Mounds View, and Spring Lake Park. Grade level divisions were offered for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
In 2016, the league expanded to 57 teams, including 5th & 6th grade divisions, as well as welcoming St. Anthony at the 5th & 6th grade level and Andover at the 2nd grade level.
Philosophy and League Functions
The league is organized to coordinate the activities of the member communities participating teams. The league is an informal organization, and operates with a minimum of rules, regulations, policies and procedures. The focus of the league is on providing youth with the opportunity to play tackle football and grow participation in the sport.
The basic operating functions of the league are as follows:
- Provide a framework that allows teams from the various participating communities to play each other.
- Establish a uniform set of playing rules and provide educational training for coaches and referees to create consistency in enforcement of playing rules.
- Develop and maintain game schedules for each grade division among the participating communities.
- Provide a mechanism and authority for receiving, investigating, and resolving complaints.
- Create opportunities to educate all participants on the value of participation in youth sports and volunteerism in the communities we serve.
