LYF wishes to thank all the families, teams, and coaches who have participated in Flag this year as we wrap up our 2020 Regular season. We set out to offer a place that kids could get out, compete and have fun. We appreciate all the families that wore their masks and separated in this unusual time. As you know, we had outlined to the City of Lawrence in our game plan for this year those requirements and you have done a great job helping us maintain that plan. We look forward to a 2021 season that will will allow us to play with no restrictions. Thank You!
LYF Toy Bowl 2020 is coming up on Sunday November 1 at YSC. We will have the top two from each division based on league play competing for the Toy Bowl Trophy.
This year our local cable provider MIDCO will record all of our games live for taped delay broadcast and those games will be available for purchase through MIDCO. We will play our Championship games on the Middle field and will make available more sideline seating for this special event. LYF has staged many Toy Bowls and we want you to share this event and help make it a special day for those teams participating.
As is the tradition, we will be at the gate asking for an admission fee of either a donation or a NEW toy that goes to Toys for Tots. We will be set up as you come in and make it quick and easy. We have donated thousands of toys over the years and it is greatly appreciated by the many kids in our community receiving these great gifts.
We will have Toy Bowl shirts again that will feature each player and coach. These shirts are coveted by many in our community and is a lasting memory for the families of players who have gone before you. Music will be on and fun with a little friendly competition is in store for us on November 1.
