New Jersey

Suburban Youth Football League  

   The NJ Suburban Youth Football League (SYFL) was founded on December 8th, 1972 in Scotch Plains, NJ.

   The league was formed in an effort to provide additional opportunities for boys to participate in contact

   football sport that may have been excluded from other programs due to weight and age restrictions in

   existing programs.

   The league is currently comprised of 15 town programs split between two conferences.  There are playoffs,

   Super Bowl, and All-Star games to enhance the enjoyment of the participants and help teach the value of

   competition and good sportsmanship.       

  Purpose

   The league operates with the intent of developing an understanding and uniform approach among the

   communities with respect to the conditions that each program sets forth for the administration of its

   respective grade school football program.

  Division Of Participants

   The participants are to be separated and placed into each of the following five groupings of divisions:

                Division A - Heavyweights          (8th & 7th Grades)

                Division B - Middleweights         (7th & 6th Grades)

                Division C - Lightweights            (6th & 5th Grades)

                Division D - Instructional             (5th & 4th Grades)

                Division E - Contact Intro.            (4th Grade & Down)

  Development Of Teams

   Since the number of participants in each division will vary from community to community, the number of

   types of teams may vary.  If a program has over 40 participants in one division, that program can have a

   second team.  They could be uniform as to ability or a selected All-Star or Traveling team.

   It is understood that teams of over 25 are almost impossible to administer from the standpoint of teaching

   fundamentals of football and that teams of approximately 15 are dangerous if considering participation in

   the SYFL because of illness, injury, or other outside commitments.

   It is the agreement of all participating organizations that any program that joins or wants to continuing

   playing in the league must produce at least THREE TEAMS in any combination from the A,B,C,D divisions.

   This is in agreement to provide an adequate schedule for all fairness to the other organizations.  All programs

   must report their level of involvement BY THE END OF THE FIRST WEEK IN SEPTEMBER each year.  If any

   program cannot fully participate with a minimum of three teams they will be excluded for the season.   
 

  Reporting Games

   Someone from each program MUST report scores for all A,B,C level games, regardless of whether you were

   the winning or losing teams.  A report must be submitted by both teams each weekend.  All scores are to be

   submitted and no later than Monday afternoon following each game.  Failures to report scores by the deadline

   will result in loss of points for that game.
