The Chicagoland Youth Football League Kicks Off Its Tenth Season

September 3, 2008

The Chicagoland Youth Football League (TCYFL), the largest independent youth tackle football league in the United States, is celebrating its tenth season in 2008.

The TCYFL includes twenty-one Member Communities based throughout Chicagoland and southeastern Wisconsin. In 2008, the TCYFL welcomes Woodstock to the existing League roster of Antioch, Barrington, Bartlett, Buffalo Grove Cary, Crystal Lake, Grayslake, Huntley, Lake in the Hills/Algonquin, Lake Zurich, Prairie Ridge, Prospect Heights, State Line/Richmond, Libertyville, Oak Park, Plainfield, Tri Cities (St. Charles/Geneva/Batavia), Warren Township, Wauconda and Western Kenosha County (Wisconsin).

The TCYFL features nearly 300 travel teams playing at five different age/weight levels and in three different divisions designed to provide a competitive football playing experience in an environment conducive to equitable player participation. The TCYFL Member Communities serve well over 10,000 Chicagoland boys and girls up to age fourteen on League and in-house tackle teams, local flag football teams, and on cheerleading, dance, pom and spirit squads.

According to TCYFL President Geoff Meyer, the League maintains a strong focus on practicing good health, citizenship, character and sportsmanship. Meyer added, “first and foremost, the TCYFL promotes players’ welfare and wellbeing. The key to our growth has been attracting Member Communities who share our vision of creating a positive football playing experience. While our programs and League are not designed specifically as “feeder” programs for local high school football teams, we are proud that the high school teams in our TCYFL Member Communities have historically fared very well in IHSA 5A, 6A, 7A and 8A post season play. We look forward to 2008 and know that it will be our best season ever.”
