Misson Statement

The Woodford Youth Football League, Inc. (WYFL) is an independent, all volunteer, non-profit organization committed to providing a quality youth football program to students in grades 3 through 6 who reside within Woodford and surrounding counties.

WYFL is committed to helping its young participants grow physically, mentally, socially and morally.  We believe that the youth developing a balance of these four aspects of growth is essential to a well-ordered life.  We will instill in our youth the challenge of competition, the joy of victory (and the reality of defeat), the importance of commitment and the spirit of community that will help them become creative, pro-active and responsible individuals within our community and society.

WYFL Core Values:

1.)  We will be servants.  As we make plans and decisions about the program, we will put the needs and interests of the young men ahead of our own personal expectations.

2.)  We will be open.  We will encourage all parents, entities and communites who can serve as positive role models to join us in our endeavors.  We will involve as many children as we can enable, assist, encourage and equip.

3.)  We will be firm.  We will establish and consistently enforce rules for the good of all participants.  Those who lose sight of our purpose will be subject to discipline and to removal if necessary.

4.)  We will be fair.  Our organization will make every effort to ensure that each child with the desire to participate gets the opportunity to play, without regard to prior experience, athletic ablity or physical size.

5.)  We will be fun.  We will strive to make our whole experience together an enjoyable one.  Winning and losing will be only a part of the mix of challenges and rewards we provide for our youth.

6.)  We will be teachers.  Our volunteers will commit to teaching our players the appropriate skills to enable them to grow both on and off the field.

7.)  We will be examples.  On and off the field, we will lead by example.  Our program will reflect the servanthood, selflessness and generosity that is evident in the personal lives of our program leaders and volunteers.

These goals will be achieved through the combined resources of personal and corporate, intangible and tangible, direct and indirect contributions of dedicated volunteers, caring parents and business associates who wish to partner with WYFL to create and maintain an outstanding youth football program.
