Welcome to the HYF Football & Cheer online registration!

NEWS

HYF has been closely monitoring the State’s guidelines when it comes to Covid-19 and the return of youth sports. As some of you may already know, youth sports is due to return at Phase 4 of the State’s reopening plan. We are currently in Phase 2.  Some of you may also have seen PYFL’s plan to have the 2020 season moved to begin in January of 2021 if the State allows. Due to the uncertainty of the safe reopening of youth sports, the HYF Board has elected not to participate in the January 2021 season. Although safety is our number one concern, there are many other factors that were taken into consideration when we came to the decision. Not being able to provide a quality program and season was one of the determining factors. Therefore, we are announcing the cancellation of our 2020 football season. We will begin our next season in the fall of 2021 if the state allows us to do so. This was not an easy decision to make for us as we are parents & coaches as well. We will keep you all informed with updates to our social media outlets and via email as we obtain more information as the state reopens.
