How to Build a Successful Youth Organization
At AYF, we are constantly growing our family. Here are a few tips for growing your local organization, from our own Director of New Membership - Shannon Shy.
You hear the mantra, "It's for the kids" a lot in youth organization circles. I know that it is big here at AYF/AYC. Recently, a community leader looking over the fence at AYF from another football organization asked me, "What does that mean? 'For the kids?'"

Joe's Presidents Corner
Happy New Year to All AYF Members!
What a year 2010 was for AYF/AYC. The AYF National Championships were the largest ever and the AYC National Championships were equally exciting. The Under Armour All-Star Game was a motivational experience for those football and cheerleading youth going on to high school. Next year looks bigger and better with all eight regions already growing new conferences.
I love to read the Mike Lopresti on the sports page of the USA Today. He is almost always bang on target. He frequently mentions how the sports world reflects our current society. His recent article started "lets take a moment to think about who we are and what we have become and then everyone could get back to football and pretending." But hey, we are Youth Football, we don't pretend. We speak only of facts, or do we?
I have received many calls lately about wild rumors. None are true. We live in a free market society where those who have a better idea or product will win. There will always be start ups that claim they can better serve our AYF Associations. Rumors and gossip are seldom facts. Facts come in writing with a signature of a person with integrity. As Mike Lopresti said, "it is easier to attack than to think. The Internet provides the cowardly every opportunity to spread poison anonymously - for in this modern and wired world, accountability went out with the postcard."
Thank you to all volunteers for your support of AYF. AYF/AYC's New Years Pledge is to provide you with peace of mind, service and real value. Looking forward to helping one million youth in 2011.
