Dear River Valley Youth Tackle Football League Family:

We hope that you are safe and healthy as we fight COVID-19 as a community and a country.

The River Valley Youth Tackle Football League Board of Directors are continuing to monitor and follow the advice of the CDC and public health authorities. As a board we are committed to our athletes, our League, and the 2020 season. We have been meeting virtually every two weeks, and regularly communicating with USA Football and our equipment suppliers such as Riddell. 

Your child’s health and safety are our No. 1 priority – we will closely monitor the situation and let you know if we update our schedule based on recommendations from the public health authorities. We do not have any changes to our timeline currently. 

As circumstances allow, we are still preparing for the season. When our coaches find the time in these unique circumstances, they have the opportunity to take USA Football’s national accredited coach certification to ensure a great football experience for our kids. We also encourage our athletes to stay active and continue their e-learning.

Please stay tuned for future updates and visit us online at rivervalleyfootball.com and on Facebook.

On behalf of the entire River Valley Youth Tackle Football League, be safe and stay healthy.

Best regards,

HEADS UP to Youth Sports

To help ensure the health and safety of young athletes, CDC developed the HEADS UP Concussion in Youth Sports initiative to offer information about concussions to coaches, parents, and athletes involved in youth sports. The HEADS UP initiative provides important information on preventing, recognizing, and responding to a concussion.

Players benefit physically, socially and emotionally from playing football

Football is blue-collar America. It’s working class, working together.

In this game – America’s favorite game – there are no isolation plays that cast a team aside. Nor are there intentional walks to avoid an obstacle.

In life, like in football, the easy route is rarely an option.
