Families,

This year we are moving to flag football for grades K-6. We also offer tackle for kids that are 11 by Aug 1, 2021.  Cheer will be for grades K-8th.  

After much research and discussion, SYFL has decided to move to flag football for our lower levels.  In doing this, we can put even more emphasis on safety, play in house (so no travel), keep families already busy schedules a little less busy as flag requires less practices and a slightly shorter season.  

We are super excited for this change and will be working closely with the Sycamore High School Football Program as we implement these changes.

Camp for all kids will be July 19-21 from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. at North Grove Elementary.

Starting July 26, cheer will practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 - 7:30.  Tackle will practice M-Th 5:30 - 7:30 at North Grove.  Flag will start practice on August 3rd and practices will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-7:00 p.m. (there will be a practice the first Saturday of August tbd).  

Tackle games start August 14th. Times and locations will vary.  Our conference schedules those games and times.  We should have 4 home games and 4 away games over a 9 week period (there will be games on Labor Day Weekend).  Games are typically on Saturday.  The furthest we travel is about 75 minutes away (but we may not go there...just depends on the schedule).   There is a possibility for up to two weeks of playoffs for tackle.

Flag games will all be in Sycamore on Saturdays starting August 14th.  Game times will be noon and probably 1:00 p.m.   There will be 6 games over a 7 week period (Labor Day Weekend off for flag).

One thing we really need from our families to pull this off is volunteers.  Please consider coaching or inquiring about joining our board.  Coaching will be 3 days per week for the flag teams.

Thank you in advance for joining the SYFL family and for considering volunteering.

If you have any questions, please reach out.

With homecoming upon us, it's time that we start recognizing our sponsors.  For this week, the Sponsor Of The Week is DeKalb Sycamore Chevrolet/GMC.  We rely greatly on our sponsors to ensure that every kid who wants to cheer or play football gets that opportunity.  Quite simply, we would not exist if it wasn't for our sponsors.  DeKalb Sycamore Chevrolet/GMC is not only one of our top sponsors, but they also are very active in our community with numerous organizations.  Whether you are looking for a new or pre-owned vehicle or simply need service done on your existing vehicle, please be sure to patronize their business and tell them thank you for supporting SYFL.
