Ashburn Youth Football

Divisions are separated by current grade level:

• A8-League (8th graders for the 2023-2024 academic year)
• A7-League (7th graders for the 2023-2024 academic year)
• B-League (5-6th graders for the 2023-2024 academic year)
• C-League (3-4th graders for the 2023-2024 academic year)
• D-League (K-2nd graders for the 2023-2024 academic year)

Players are welcome to play up into the next grade division, however players are never allowed to play in a lower grade division. Registering incorrectly for a lower division will result in your player being reassigned to their correct division.

Thank you for your interest in coaching an AYFL team!

We are always recruiting for coaches who are dedicated to teaching and developing new football players. 

Please note: all head coaches get reimbursed for their child's registration fees at the end of the season when they return their coaches' equipment. Coaches also have autonomy over organizing their team's practice schedule and choosing their team's practice location.

We provide coaches with field equipment, practice space, game schedule, and players.

For the fall tackle season, teams are assigned via a draft after player are evaluated by coaches at a combine. All coaches are required to attend the combines to evaluate players. 

Please email us at president@ayfl.org for more information on applying to coach in the 2023 Fall Tackle season.

Please note that these dates are subject to change. All changes will be communicated to parents/guardians via email.
