WEATHER DELAY & VOLUNTEER UPDATE - Sunday 9/13

Due to tomorrow's weather, ALL game times have been pushed back by 2 hours. Please plan accordingly and check the updated schedule.

11 AM - B Team

1 PM - A Team

3 PM - C Team

5 PM - D Team

VOLUNTEER UPDATE:

Field Setup has already been completed. These volunteer spots have been removed from Dibs, and no volunteer credit will be earned for those shifts.

Concessions & Field Cleanup volunteer times have been updated to reflect the new game schedule.

⚠️ We still have a few volunteer spots to fill ASAP!

We are asking our NBYFC families to please step up and help us fill these remaining openings. It takes a lot of hands to make game day run smoothly, and every volunteer makes a difference.

We have also opened additional games in Dibs for volunteering, so there are now more opportunities available to complete your family’s volunteer hours.

Please visit https://www.nbyfc.org/dib_sessions to claim an available shift.

Thank you for your flexibility, patience, and continued support of NBYFC!

One Town. One Team. One Family.

NBYFC Sponsorships Are Back — Help Us Spread the Word!

NBYFC Families,

We’re excited to announce the reintroduction of the North Branford Youth Football & Cheer Sponsorship Program!

Sponsorships are an important way for businesses, families, and members of our community to directly support NBYFC. These contributions help us operate the league, provide equipment, support safety initiatives, and continue creating a positive experience for our young football players and cheerleaders.

Attached you’ll find our 2026 NBYFC Sponsorship Opportunities, with four different levels of support.

We need our NBYFC families to help us spread the word!
Please share the attached sponsorship flyer.

Think about the businesses and people you interact with every day — your employer, favorite restaurant, local contractor, insurance agent, real estate agent, family business, friends, neighbors, and others who may want to support the kids of North Branford.

Even simply forwarding the flyer or making an introduction can make a difference.

And here's something we especially want our families to know...
Our $125 Hometown Hero sponsorship isn't just for businesses!

Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, relatives, family friends, and other supporters can become a Hometown Hero too.

It's a great opportunity to support NBYFC and give a shout-out to your favorite football player or cheerleader on our social media.

Something as simple as:

“Have a great season #12! We're proud of you! — Mom & Dad”

“Go T-Birds! Good luck Emma! Love, Grandma & Grandpa”

or

“Proud Hometown Hero supporters of NBYFC — The Smith Family”

We want our community to have the opportunity to celebrate the kids who make this organization what it is.

Whether it's a $125 Hometown Hero, $300 Local Legend, $525 Community Champion, or $1,000 North Branford Icon, every sponsor is helping support youth football and cheer right here in North Branford.

Please share the attached flyer and help us get the word out!

The strength of NBYFC has always come from the families, volunteers, businesses, and community members who rally around our amazing kids.

One Town. One Team. One Family.

Thank you for your continued support of North Branford Youth Football & Cheer.

🔥 HELL WEEK — DAY 4 🔥

Hot. Humid. Tired. Sore.

None of it mattered.

Today was about finding out who was willing to keep going when it got uncomfortable.

And these kids answered.

They worked. They competed. They pushed. They finished.

Hell Week isn’t about punishment. It’s about preparation.

It’s learning that when your body says you’re tired, your mind still has something left. It’s learning to keep moving when things get hard. It’s learning that toughness is built one rep, one sprint, and one practice at a time.

Nobody gets better by choosing the easy road.

You earn confidence.
You earn toughness.
You earn results.

And around here, we believe one thing:

⚡ YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE. ⚡

Day 4 ✅

One day left. Don’t survive it. OWN IT.

🏈 ONE TOWN. ONE TEAM. ONE FAMILY.

08/06/2026

You get what you give….

Hell Week – Day 2

Nothing worth earning comes easy.

We’re not taking the easy road—we’re taking the road that builds stronger athletes, tougher teammates, and better young men.

Success isn’t given. It’s earned through hard work, discipline, and the willingness to do the things others won’t, don’t, or can’t.

Around here, we live by one simple belief:

You get what you give.

Every sprint. Every rep. Every drop of sweat. Every time you choose to push through when it would be easier to quit—you’re investing in the player and person you’re becoming.

Keep showing up. Keep working. Keep getting 1% better every day.

One Town. One Team. One Family.
