MYFA was founded in
1971 and has served the Cedar Rapids metro area for 37 years . This organization is
dedicated to youth sports and specifically to youth football. Each year MYFA brings
together over 1,800 young people and hundreds of adult volunteers to participate in and
learn about both flag and tackle football in a wholesome, safe, structured, and fun
environment. MYFA considers competition healthy and instructive but de-emphasizes the
importance of winning and instead promotes the importance of participation. MYFA is
governed by a board of directors made up of coaches and interested volunteers . This board
is, in turn, overseen by an Executive Board that insures both the financial and
philosophical integrity of the organization. |
