Registration
We will begin accepting online signups beginning December 15, 2023 until March 14, 2024. However, based on our experience last year, we expect to meet our allowable number of players well before the closing date. As a result, you are encouraged to register via our online registration system as soon as possible.
After we have reached our registration limits, you may still sign-up to be on our waitlist. Although we cannot guarantee that every waitlisted player will be able to find a spot, we will do our utmost to accommodate registrants on a first come, first serve basis.

We Need Coaches!
If you ever considered coaching football, there’s no better way and no better time to start than right now.
Coaching for VYI Flag Football offers you the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of developing and encouraging young players in a fun, supportive environment. Our experienced coaches are always available to assist, and we will be hosting a New Coach’s Clinic to give you all the information you need to build and lead a successful team.
If interested in becoming a head or assistant coach, please fill out the Coaches Volunteer Form or email football@vyi.org
TEAM MOMS & DADS
Without a doubt, one the most important positions on the team.
Just as a football team needs a quarterback who can orchestrate the plays on the field, each of our teams needs a quarterback off the field who can help coordinate snacks, facilitate communication between coaches and parents, or whatever else is need to ensure the players have what they need to succeed.
We hope that you will consider working with our coaches as a Team Parent this season.
Welcome Again!
On behalf of the entire VYI Football family, I want to say thank you once again for considering us for your son or daughter. We are both excited and grateful for the opportunity to work with your young player.
Should you encounter any issue throughout the season, from registration to Championship, please don't hesitate to reach out to your players' coach or catch me on the sidelines or via email Football@vyi.org
