2020 Fall Football
We are excited to announce that Monroe County Recreation Department will be playing in the
Southern Youth Football Conference football league.
The teams/games will be played on Saturdays. We will play four home games and four away games.
Teams will travel to counties that participate in the SYFC for all away games. This league is setup as a
single age group division (e.g. 6U, 7U, 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U) but this is all dependent on our
enrollment numbers. If our numbers in certain age groups doesn't allow for a complete team we may
group age groups together to make a team. Once the teams are set you will be notified by The head
coach or team mom regarding practice days and times. If you are interested in being a Head
Coaches/Assistant Coach please either fill out the volunteer coach application on the website, email us
to get a application emailed to you to fill our and all you will need to do is drop off a copy of your driver
licences to the office. We will have a table set up outside for you to stop by and fill out a Coaches
Application and to be placed in a box. If you need more information about the program and the league
please feel free to call the office and ask to speak to Kevin Patterson Sports Coordinator. All of our
Football Coaches must complete the Heads Up USA Football Certification Course before you are able
to get on the field to partake in any practice activities with our young men on the practice field. If you

football concerning your re-certification. If you are new to our football program this year contact the
office and we will schedule this for you. Flag Football (5/6 year old) will partner with Butts County again

our Flag Football program this year. Game days for Flag Football are TBA. Registration fee includes
