SOYFA Mission Statement Our goal is to have a youth program that benefits all participants, girls and boys. Teaching good sportsmanship, leadership. teamwork and self-discipline through football and cheerleading.
The parents are as valuable as the athletes. We, as parents, coaches and team Moms should strive to make the game fun for all participants. Coaches and parents must keep in mind the ages of the participants, for they are the future and will need to instill the same teaching into the future generations.
Finally, it has been said "Championships are earned not given.. What are you doing to earn one?" This reflects parents as well as our young men and women. God bless and have a great season.
