John Jay Youth Football is a non-profit organization formed for the purpose of promoting and sponsoring youth football in the Katonah-Lewisboro school district.  Any resident of the district is eligible to register and play.  Residents of a neighboring town without a football program may register and will be notified if a roster spot is available.  We offer programs for kids in grades 3 through 8 with a single grade team structure.  Questions can be addressed to: .

Dear Parents & Athletes of John Jay Youth Football,

John Jay Youth Football was originally established in 1975 and has since been a staple in our youth athletic community. We pride ourselves in the commitment of teaching our youth athletes the sport of football, and to instill the character, commitment, respect and the camaraderie it takes to be a successful team and person. This season will bring many anticipated and exciting changes to JJYF. We have been working hard over the off season to restructure our Association with the goal of a successful long-term program that will continue to grow and benefit our youth football players. We are receiving a tremendous amount of support and guidance from the John Jay varsity football program, which will create a strong and unified foundation. This season we will also begin another new and exciting chapter for JJYF by entering into the Taconic Youth Football and Cheer League.  The TYFC is based in the Northern Westchester area and includes the surrounding counties. Our teams will no longer consist of combined grades with modified rules. Each grade level (from 3^rd to 8^th) will have a representing team and play under similar high school football rules. This will allow for a better structured program and stronger player development.  

We are dedicated in making these changes a great experience for the kids, but will need the support of our parents and community. Throughout the season, we will be looking for volunteers for specific tasks and miscellaneous events. Your support is greatly appreciated and needed.

We are all looking forward to the start of the upcoming season and please know that the entire John Jay Youth Football Association is dedicated in making your child’s football experience a FUN, educational and successful one. I look forward to meeting everyone soon and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you.
