At the end of the season we have a playoff for the top 4 teams in each division within only LYF teams, culminating in our Toy Bowl Championship game at Free State High School.  

Practices are at various locations, depending on the team you play for. Practices are normally two or three nights per week, again depending on the team.  

LYF requires all of the Head coaches to go through USA Football Heads Up Training. This training provides the fundamentals of coaching in a safe and positive environment.  We utilize it at all levels of Flag and Tackle.  We also require Tackle coaches to go through a background check.  If you know someone who is interested in coaching, we welcome new coaches. 

LYF pays for both Background Check and Heads Up Football Training.
