Highlanders Youth Football

A Letter From Your President

Highlander Family, I pray you are all doing well. It seems like a long time has past even though it has only been a few short months, since we were on the field last running our camps and clinics. We all wanted and hoped that this season, could somehow, miraculously, still happen; but unfortunately, it cannot.

Your board members along with other boards across our league have been meeting regularly to try and navigate the logistics of having a season this fall, but there are just too many hurdles before us. It would not be fair to our athletes and their families to try and drag this out into the winter with the hopes of putting something together and not have it meet the standards we are known for as a program or as a league. Therefore, the CCYFL voted to cancel the 2020 season so that it may refocus it's energy into the 2021 season.

I know firsthand, as a parent, the vital role we play in the community. And we take that responsibility seriously. Therefore, once the county moves back into Phase 2 for athletics, we plan on having FREE camps again. Please check out our Calendar tab every couple weeks to stay informed. If and when the county moves to Phase 4 for athletics, we plan to implement a 7on7 flag football season that we intend to also make available for FREE. Our goals behind this are to stay connected in the lives of your children, to give them opportunities to stay active outdoors and to offer them opportunities for social interaction with their friends. Please know, when the time comes for us to plan and announce any of our events, it is done so with the confidence and knowledge that we will be able to do so in a manner that follows every Federal, State, County and Municipal Guidelines.

If you have already paid for the 2019 season, please contact me at your convenience to get refunded. Stay safe and I look forward to getting back on the field with you!

We serve Kindergarten through 6th grade children of South Central Fresno. We are a volunteer driven 501 (c)(3) non profit program. Our mission is to equip boys and girls with the FUNdamentals of Football & Cheerleading so they are physically and mentally prepared to play and perform at the next level. We aim to foster an environment for our student athletes that builds self confidence, a sense of teamwork and positive work ethic.

FOOTBALL

We are a program that centers on FUNdamentals. We are proud to be fully certified through USA Football's Heads UP program. Our coaches teach the game of football while emphasizing sportsmanship, fair play, discipline, respect and accountability that will prepare them for life on and off the field.
