Nutmeg Youth Football League (NYFL)

The Nutmeg Youth Football League (“NYFL”) was founded with a simple yet important purpose:  to foster and encourage kids to learn and love the game of football in a safe environment.  It is our goal that our coaches and league administrators will teach the game of football to our athletes in such a way that the players learn not only the rules of the game, but also life lessons – good sportsmanship, respect, fair play, hard work, goal achievement, and teamwork – which they will carry with them long after their youth sports careers are over but that will serve them well in life.

• To foster and encourage safe youth recreational football in the state of Connecticut 
• To assist and promote the physical and intellectual development of youth.
