About the Conference

The Central Massachusetts Youth Football and Cheer Conference brings together town-based youth football and cheer programs across the region — community-first, safety-led, and family-friendly.

Who we are

CMYFCC is an all-volunteer, non-profit conference of member associations representing towns throughout Central Massachusetts. Each member association runs its own youth football and cheer programs while competing within a shared league structure, schedule, and set of safety standards. As a member of American Youth Football & Cheer, our athletes have a pathway from town teams to regional and national competition.

What we stand for

Safety first

USA Football Heads Up certified coaches, baseline concussion protocols, and modern equipment standards across every program.

Community-built

Volunteer boards and town-based teams, with a calendar built around families — not the other way around.

A real pathway

Through American Youth Football & Cheer, our players and squads can advance from local fields to regional and national stages.
