Fairbanks Youth Football and Cheerleading Inc. is a member of American Youth Football, Inc., an international youth football organization established to promote wholesome development of children and teenagers through their association with adults leaders in the sport of American football and cheerleading. AYF is a non-profit corporation that is the administrative body of our local youth football teams and leagues.

These programs are designed to help youngsters learn skills and develop into productive adults through their participation in organized, supervised sports. Sportsmanship, teamwork, honesty, responsibility, self-reliance, determination, hard work, and self-discipline are among the traits needed by youngsters to face the future with positive aspirations and confidence.

Whether a child continues on to play football at more advanced levels or never plays the sport past this league, these lessons will serve them throughout their life. AYF’s mission is based on the concept that youngsters learn what they are taught. If we teach them positive traits, such as play by the rules and work hard they will learn to live by the rules and give their best efforts.
