Founded in 1987, the RCYFL is a non-profit organization created to give children the opportunity to participate in organized youth tackle football and cheerleading.
This year, about 450 boys played on 14 YFL teams and about 90 girls participated on 12 cheerleading squads, representing all areas of Rowan County.
Before the season starts, teams practice four days a week, for two hours at a time; after the season begins, practice is three days a week.
Games are played at local high schools and middle schools. The league uses gate receipts to cover its costs, including referees and security personnel, and the host schools get the food concessions.
RCYFL Board members include Mike Ciaramello, Annie McDaniel, Kent Ryan, Mike McCullough, Romeo White, Debbie File and Keith Burris.
