Mission Statement
"Our mission is to help the youth of today become the confident adults of tomorrow."
Philosophy
At every level, SLYF seeks to develop well-rounded young men and women who learn not only the fundamentals of football, but also the importance of education, in an atmosphere conducive to developing sound mind, body and character - and having a good time along the way.
The general objectives of South Lane Youth Football are to inspire youth, regardless or race, creed or national origin, to practice the ideals of sportsmanship, scholarship, and physical fitness.
Our program, SLYF strives to make the game 'fun' for all boys and girls. Coaches must constantly keep in mind the ages of the participants. The program stresses learning lessons of value far beyond the playing days of the boys and girls involved, such as: self-discipline, teamwork, concentration, friendship, leadership and good sportsmanship.
With such goals in mind, and by providing an opportunity to participate in an organized, supervised environment with emphasis on maximum safety and participation, SLYF offers young men and women a unique experience.
