The Gainesville-Haymarket Youth Football League (GHYFL) Grizzlies organization began in 1999 and is a member club in association with the Northern Virginia Youth Football League (formerly FCYFL), a full-contact football league. You can also refer to the NVYFL website for league rules, field directions, and closures, standings, player participation rules, etc.
The GHYFL is a non-profit 501c3 organization dedicated to providing a character-building program for both boys and girls of the Gainesville-Haymarket area. Through fundamental instructions associated with youth tackle football and cheerleading, we expect to foster and maintain the core values of Honesty, Loyalty, Integrity, Discipline, Respect, Sportsmanship, and Commitment to be the highest standards associated with achievement, both athletic and academic. Understanding that “it takes a village to raise a child,” we encourage our coaching staff and volunteer parents to provide a responsible environment that strives to demonstrate these values on and off the field, in victory or defeat.
Our organization prides itself in recognizing that athletics promotes physical well-being and provides a healthy environment conducive to the development of strong, active, and productive leaders in our society. While emphasizing sportsmanship and safety, we will strongly encourage our Coaches, Players, Cheerleaders, and Parents to act as positive role models within our organization and toward our competitors.
