Tackle Football, Flag, Football and Cheerleading
September Update 2020
"Upon further consideration of the policies put into place by the Governor of Michigan as well as the MHSAA, we at the Dexter Youth Football League have decided to continue to pause on offering any Cheerleading, Tackle or Flag Football programs at this time. Our board of volunteer leaders have put a lot of time and energy into trying to provide a safe, fun, and rewarding football and cheerleading experience, but feel that at this time, with all of the uncertainty, we are unable to do that. This was an extremely difficult decision to make and while we are heartbroken about not being out on the field at this time, we place 100% of our priority into making sure whatever programs we offer are safe for not only the participants but also the families, friends and all who come in contact with our players.
We still are meeting regularly as an organization to address all changes in the current climate. As a youth organization, we don't feel we can adequately address the mandated security measures, that in consultation with our partners at the Washtenaw County Health Department, the State of Michigan, and Dexter Community Education, are mandatory. Many may not agree with this decision, but we feel that we are putting the health and security of our community first. As soon as the current situation improves, rest assured, DYFL will be back on the field having a great time teaching the game of football and the sport of Cheerleading. We are currently working to have options available for programs beginning as late as spring, before baseball would begin, should that be possible to facilitate at that time.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions and or comments. We respect all of your opinions and look forward to continuing to be a valued partner in our community's development."
Thanks again!

July, 2020 Update
Hello Families and Friends, In preparation for the upcoming football season we would like all of our families and our community to know that we have been preparing to deal with all of the uncertainty in the present time as best as we can. While the MHSAA has said fall sports can proceed as normal, we have been advised to await one more announcement from state leadership regarding the sport of football for this fall. We expect that announcement by the end of July. In order for families to be prepared in the event of an open registration we wanted to share the fees associated so you can plan accordingly. Registration will be, 5/6 Tackle Football: $225, 3/4 Tackle Football: $180, all grade of Flag Football will be $125, and Cheerleading will be $50. All of these registration prices are lower than the previous years or the same as previous years In regard to the current global health situation, we can assure you that Dexter Youth Football will follow all applicable guidelines established by our partners at the Michigan High School Athletic Association, the State of Michigan, the Washtenaw County Board of Health, USA Football as well as the Dexter Community Education. The health and well-being of our participants and their families is paramount to us and we assure you we want nothing bu the best possible experience for everyone. We look forward to another announcement with more news once the state makes their announcement soon. Please reach out to us at dexterdyfl@gmail.com with any comments or concerns. |
