Your Subtitle text

The Mankato Area Football program was establish in 1978 to provide a tackle football league for local youths surrounding the area. This year marks the 31st anniversary of the program and the transition to the new league name:

MankatoNorthMankatoYouthFootball

MNMYF will provide a safe and productive environment that enables children to learn and apply the principles of teamwork, discipline, dedication and sportsmanship.

Philosophy of MNMYF

The volunteer Board of Directors of the Mankato North Mankato Youth Football league would like to express the goals of the MNMYF program this fall.

All MNMYF coaches and directors shall be subject to the Code of Ethics Pledge of the National Youth Sports Coaches Association:

I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my players ahead of any personal desire to win.

I will remember to treat each player as an individual, remembering the large spread of emotional and physical development for the same age group.

I will do my very best to provide a safe playing situation for my players.

I promise to review and practice the necessary first aid principles needed to treat injuries of my players.

I will do my best to organize practices that are fun and challenging for all my players.

I will insure that I am knowledgeable in the rules of football and that I will teach these rules to my players.

I will use those coaching techniques appropriate for each of the skills I teach.

I will remember that I am a youth coach, and that the game is for the children and not adults.

MNMYF football could take many directions, such as "win-win-win at all costs" focus, rather than its positive learning approach. It is important to realize that youths today are raised in an environment of competition and that they must learn the value of good competition and of always doing one's best.

Goals for the football season are very simple.

                                                  1.) To develop fundamental football skills.
                                                  2.) To play and work as a team, not as an individual.
                                                  3.) To have fun at practices and games.
                                                  4.) To do our best at all times.
                                                  5.) To maintain good sportsmanship all times.

We are sustained by the efforts of volunteers who display an extraordinary amount of commitment and hard work, ensuring that our league is a positive influence in the lives of our children. We also strive to provide a service to our community by providing a healthy outlet for children, opportunities for the community to gather together, and endless hours of entertainment.

We welcome all children, regardless of race, creed or national origin.

Our league is registered as a non-profit organization. We appreciate the generous support of the community, local merchants, and civic organizations. If you are interested in getting involved (click here).
