Click Below To Be Taken To The 2020 Registration For Football And Cheer.
Families, in an effort to make things easier on families during this difficult time, we have eliminated our registration price increases that were to go into effect on 5/1. Fees will now be $25 for 6U non contact football, $190 for 8u-12u tackle football and $160 for cheer through the close of registration on May 30th. Also, if you choose a payment plan for tackle football or cheer, you will only be charged $1 at registration and then the remainder will be divided into 3 equal payments on June 1, July 1, August 1. Please do your best to register your participant as soon as possible since we have to turn in our team counts to the conference on June 1. Registration link is directly below this message.

Sycamore Junior Spartan Football

Philosophy and General Information

Sycamore Youth Football represents a traveling club football team that is a feeder system into our Sycamore High School. The SYFL builds an age appropriate competitive team that is a member of the Northern Illinois Football Conference. As a feeder program for the Sycamore High School, and under the auspices and direction/tutiledge of Sycamore High School Head Coach, Joe Ryan, the SYFL Jr. Spartans have adopted the Sycamore High School playbook. Our coaches all undergo a National Center for Safety Institute background check, USA footbal "Heads Up Play" coaching certification, and a year round coaching program designed to highlight both the Sycamore High School football philosophy and appropriately train our coaches in practice and game management as well as player development. Our coaches have experience ranging from new coaches to coaches with upward of 16 years experience.

Sycamore Youth Football prides itself on player development. Our kids are instructed on the basic football fundamentals with an emphasis on safe blocking and tackling techniques. Our program plays "real football" on full sized fields with IHSA football rules. At the youngest level coaches are allowed on the field, but as our kids progress, coaches remain on the sideline. Each child is looked at as an individual, and their development is evaluated by a multitude of coaches to maximize their potential.

Lastly, we are a volunteer organization that depends on family support. We encourage each family to become involved with their child and Sycamore Youth Football and Cheer. Whether it be through coaching, cheering, chain gang, working concession or helping with the board, the boosters or a variety of events, we want to welcome you to the Sycamore Jr. Spartan family.
