2024 Wildcats Football Update!!

Hello Wildcats-

As noted in our mission statement, LYFS is dedicated to providing the youth of Londonderry between the ages of 5 and 13 with the fundamentals of football and cheerleading in an atmosphere which stresses sportsmanship, teamwork, safety, education, and above all fun! 

After careful consideration, our tackle Football program has chosen to align with the JHL at all age levels, focused on providing competitive Varsity and Junior Varsity programs to the youth of Londonderry. While this was a difficult decision, our Board feels that the goals set under our mission are better served by the JHL, as the league grows more competitive each year. This sets our athletes up for a more engaging, rewarding, and educative experience - one that prepares them for future endeavors in the sport. We thank the AYF for years of successful partnership with the tackle football programs, helping Londonderry meet its goals. Londonderry and the AYF are still partnered in all aspects of Cheer and Flag Football.

With the advent of the movement to the JHL, there will no longer be an 8u option for tackle football. We anticipate offering athletes ready to advance to tackle an opportunity to play with our 3/4 Junior Varsity program. This Junior Varsity program is geared towards the first time players and will consist mostly of 2nd and 3rd graders (with a consideration for undersized 4th graders) it is a learning atmosphere and is going to be utilized throughout the JHL to get the younger kids on the field and learning the game. The rules and guidelines are going to be generated with the mindset that these are young/first time tackle football players. 

Change is often difficult, so we welcome your questions through this transition. We thank you for your support of this important initiative towards improving our tackle football program.

Thank you,

LYFS Board
