Hello Parents and Players,

The 2020 OCYFL tackle football & cheer season has been canceled.  We have looked into the possiblity of trying to do a 7 on 7 league with the OCYFL, however, we do not feel that we would be able to meet the guidelines to make this work.  An example would be during baseball right now the kids have to wear a mask while playing.  We just don't think that is possible or safe for the players to wear a mask.

We are really disappointed for the kids and most of all for the 8th grade group who has had a tremendous amount of success in this program and this would be their last year of youth football.  We will be looking to do a special banquet for this 8th grade group possibly in the spring.  We truly feel they deserve the recognition that every 8th grade group has gotten over the years.  This would be their sendoff of a youth career well played with character, class, sportsmanship and a great winning record.  Our hearts truly goes out to this group of players and all the players missing out on the 2020 season.

We are going to wait and see how the MIAA handles the spring football league.  If possible, and if we have enough players, we might look for other towns to play against.  This is very early in the stages and is sort of a last ditch effort to get the kids some football.  We should have more information after the first of the year.

As always our main concern is the safety of our players.  We would like to let all players and parents know that the MMC Youth Football program is still here for the kids even during the off season.  We truly feel the kids get so much out of the program and often it can be a beacon to stay out of trouble and do well in school.  We are always here to assist the youth in this town on an off season.

We hope everybody is making it through this crisis okay and our hearts go out to anyone that has been affected by

COVID-19.

Thank you,

Bob Mosley
