American Youth Football & Cheer is the world's largest youth football and cheer organization, established in 1996. Our mission is to promote the wholesome development of youth through their association with exemplary adult leaders in American football and cheer. We offer a wide range of products and services to support our members.

In football, we provide weighted and unlimited divisions, as well as non-contact options like flag and 7-on-7. Our cheer programs include recreational and elite divisions, step and dance, and divisions for both large and small teams. We also organize various events, including national championships, regional tournaments, All-Star Games, and football & cheer camps.

At AYF, we are dedicated to teaching youth through positive role models and instilling high moral standards. We prioritize learning, playing, and enjoying the sport while emphasizing academic achievement and community involvement. Our aim is to help kids become leaders and teammates, fostering confidence, self-worth, and positive values that extend beyond the field.
