The South Alabama Youth Football Leaque ( SAYFL ) is a comprehensive youth football organization dedicated to fostering success in children both on and off the field. Offering programs that include training, flag football, tackle football, and 7-on-7 competitions, SAYFL is committed to providing opportunities for young athletes to develop their skills while emphasizing the importance of family, education, and community.
Currently, the SAYFL is home to four associations: Alabama Youth Football Leaque, East Alabama Jaguars, Eufaula Tigers, Tri-County Dawg Pound, Bi-City Londhorns, Local Polka, WolfPack and OA Gators. Each association shares the Alliance's mission of nurturing student-athletes and building strong community bonds. Together, they create a supportive environment where children can grow, succeed, and make lasting connections.
