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

Member associations document required coach education and certifications. CMYFCC reviews National AYF/AYC and sport-specific requirements and adds NAYS concussion and bullying-prevention training to its credential checks. The training is provided by the named organizations, with CMYFCC verifying completion.

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.
