Nevada – Youth Football Championship

For the first time in Nevada history, youth football programs from Northern and Southern Nevada will meet for an American Youth Football (AYF) State Championship.

8th grade players from the Southern Nevada Youth Sports Association (SNYSA), Buccaneers and Sierra Youth Football League (SYFL), Damonte Ranch Mustangs won the 2016 league championship in their respected leagues. This is the first time teams from both ends of Nevada will meet for a state title. “We have been working on this for several years” said SYFL Commissioner, Reggie Gipson. Each organization is affiliated with the American Youth Football League and play under the Nevada Interscholastic Athletic Association (NIAA) rules. “This is a great opportunity for these young players to get statewide recognition as they prepare for high school football” said Gipson.
