Welcome to Thomas Jefferson Youth Football League (TJYFL), the largest
youth football league in Central Virginia where the child comes first. TJYFL was
formed by a dedicated group of parents and business
people who had a vision to establish a football league that would give
all children a place to play regardless of the child's size or
financial background. TJYFL is committed to keeping the
registration at an affordable rate so that all children have the
opportunity to play. TJYFL primarily serves children who live in
Albemarle, Charlottesville, Fluvanna, Greene, and Nelson; however,
if you live outside one of these counties, you are still welcome to
play.

Unlike other leagues, TJYFL divides its players into three age-based
groups. TJYFL keeps children of the same age and social development
together by placing children within approximately two years
of each other on the field to learn, develop, and compete against one
another.

TJYFL is both an instructional and competitive league. The competition
however, must be confined to the field of play, and done so in such a
manner that the game and all of the participants are
respected. TJYFL will not tolerate the lack of sportsmanship in any
form from players, coaches, parents, or fans. This includes any behavior
that would reflect negatively on the league on and off
of the playing field. TJYFL does acknowledge that winning is a part of
athletic competition; however, the way you win is as important as
winning itself. TJYFL will not accept anything less than
respect for self, the other players, coaches, fans, and most
importantly - respect for the game.

If your child was born between 2003 and 1997, ages 8 to 14, your child
can play. Our Pro Style camp is held each Monday and Thursday
beginning June 20th through July 21st at Darden Towe Park from
6 to 8 PM. The cost is $50.00.
Practice begins the first week of August. You will need a Medical
release, a copy of your child's birth certificate and a copy of your
child's final report card.
