This is why we're AYF🙌
LAST NIGHT, we held two Zoom meetings with all of our National Championship Conference Presidents to officially kick off the "Taking Back The Sidelines" Movement across the AYF Nation.
Let us be clear:
This is NOT a campaign. Campaigns come and go.
This is NOT a slogan. Slogans fade over time.
This is a commitment to a movement.
A movement dedicated to restoring the culture of youth sports by putting our athletes first, promoting sportsmanship, respecting officials, supporting coaches, and creating positive game-day environments for every child who steps onto the field.
The future of youth football and cheer depends on the example we set today. Every parent, coach, administrator, volunteer, athlete, and fan has a role to play in building a culture that reflects the values we want our children to carry throughout their lives.
Together, we are taking ownership of our sidelines.
Together, we are changing the culture.
Together, we are leading a movement that will strengthen communities, elevate the youth sports experience, and ensure that AYF remains the standard for character, sportsmanship, and development.
This is Less About What WE Do but More About What WE Tolerate.
The movement has begun.
