been looking into the AYF or American Youth Football. I want to see how it is different from Pop Warner if at all. The first thing I noticed is that although their website says they are The Largest Youth Football & Cheer Organization in the Country, I am having trouble finding a team in my area. Although I did find one, it does not look like they have the amount of teams that the Pop Warner does.
AYF has 3 distinct divisions of play for all of it's National Tournament Membership. In each case Kids compete with kids of similar age and/or size. AYF is made up of 8 regions Pacific, Desert Mountain, Mid-West, Southwest, Big-East, Atlantic, Northeast and Southeast.
It looks like they have the same or similar system to Pop Warner when it comes to the age Weight matrix. However it seems as though they also have teams made up of kids separated by Grade and Age there is no weight requirement for that.
The one thing that I like that they do that is not done in Pop Warner are the Conference All Star Games, The Under Armour All Star Games, These games are only for the kids in the 8th grade and will be going on to play high school football. I like it cause it gives players a chance to experience something greater than regular season games if their teams are not good enough to make the playoffs.
The AYF all star games
American Youth Football (AYF) has developed the Conference All-Star tournament for those kids who will be graduating to their High School programs (8th Graders), have maintained a high standard of academic performance, and would like to have the opportunity to experience participating in an out of state Championship Tournament.
I will say that although I do like some of the things they do in the AYF league I will say that It looks like an inferior organization to Pop Warner
Check out this video of the 2009 AYF Championship. There are people taking about the AYF organization so you can get a good idea of the program
If you take your Pop Warner Game seriously then check this out! Under Armour is holding clinics exclusively for athletes ages 8-13 The cost of the camp is $49.00. Get some great coaching, picks up some drills to help improve your football skills.
Its possible that this may be for Ids who are part of American Youth Football. Unsure if you play in a Pop Warner league. Be sure to ask
As part of the Under Armour Combine Weekend, we will be holding the AYF Combine Clinic for area youth athletes age 8-13.

Assessments for nutrition and mental toughness, part of the C360, will also be included.
The athletes that participate in the Youth Combine will have the opportunity to learn from both local coaches as well as members of the Under Armour Combine coaching staff which features former NFL, NCAA and current Under Armour All-America Football Game coaches.
