About SYFA

PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY

The Shakopee Youth Football Association (SYFA) is a non-profit organization that exists for the purpose of teaching each child the fundamentals of the sport and to provide the framework for the wholesome participation at each child’s playing ability.

  • Having fun while learning and being treated with dignity is each child's right and each adult's responsibility.
  • We will be team oriented in our approach. In the game of football, the goals of the team and group can only be attained through dedication and commitment of the whole team. Nothing can be accomplished alone.
  • Coaches and parents shall stress sportsmanship, team spirit, and developing skills more than winning.
  • Coaches and parents shall employ appropriate language and behavior when dealing with impressionable youth.
