About Us

The purpose and goals for Shelbyville Youth Football (SYF) shall be to develop and maintain a properly supervised and structured youth football program that nurtures and inspires interest and participation of our community's youth in the sport of football. The objective is to do this regardless of sex, race, creed or national origin to practice sportsmanship, scholastic and physical fitness. It shall be the responsibility of the SYF to teach our young athletes the basic fundamentals, skills and terminology of football and to prepare them to succeed to the next level of competition, middle school and high school.  SYF shall also teach our young athletes the meaning of self-control by both personal example and through team training; to guide them through a competitive schedule of games in such a manner that all participants enjoy the benefit of playing football; to emphasize good citizenship and a sense of fair play.  SYF accepts the responsibilities of developing our athletes as both player and people.  Our goal is to be an organization that not only develops SYF players that parents and coaches will be proud of, but also guide our athletes to becoming positive contributors to the community and any team they chose to be part of
