The mission of the Optimist Youth Football and Cheer program is to teach young athletes important life lessons through the game of football.   Optimist Youth Football doesn’t have tryouts, and there are no players cut.  Rather, kids learn basic life skills with their friends and neighbors.  Since 1949, Optimist Youth Football has seen more than 70,000 young players come through our program. We have strived to make the experience for participants, coaches, and fans the best it can be, while keeping fees affordable. Next year, it will be time for OYF to replace 410 football helmets, a major expense for our program. As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of our volunteer organization, we at Optimist Youth Football pride ourselves on giving each athlete access to necessary equipment. Your generous donations will go a long way in keeping registration costs low for our young football players. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to our program, please contact our President, Jerron Moore at jerronm@oyfootball.org

For a team experience that lasts a lifetime, get your family involved in Optimist Football

Teams are formed right in your neighborhood, and led by well-trained, caring coaches.

For decades, teams and families fill the Optimist fields on Saturdays in the fall. Camaraderie and game-day excitement fuel the atmosphere. The games and team practices build athletic skills—and also provide life lessons, friendships, and lasting memories.

Today’s norms and guidelines are followed for safe, age-appropriate play.

• Your child joins a team that is set up according to neighborhood. Everyone participates – no tryouts. Age and weight also determine team placement.

• Your child is on a 4 year path, where the team stays, develops, and grow together, with a well-trained coach who is also committed to a 4 year run.

• This approach creates continuity in development, maximizes relationship building with team mates and coaches – along with the life lessons and lasting memories.
