The Arlington Football League (AFL) is designed to provide fundamental instruction in the game of football, in addition to providing for the physical, mental, and emotional development of each child who participates. This is accomplished through emphasis on sportsmanship, team play, self-discipline, maximum effort, integrity, and maximum participation in a FUN environment.
For more information on registration and other topics, check out the menu bar on the left.
The AFL is jointly administered by Arlington County Department of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources (PRCR) and volunteers of AFL. We will be working very closely with PRCR staff to offer the best youth football program possible. Our football program participates in the Fairfax County Youth Football League (FCYFL) along with approximately 24 other individual youth clubs that field teams in the various weight classes from 65 through 150 pound and approximately 5000 participants, some 360 teams. The Fairfax County Youth Football League (FCYFL) has been in existence for 35 years and serves the Northern Virginia region, with member clubs located in Arlington, Fairfax, and Prince William counties and Alexandria city. The purpose of the FCYFL is to provide participating youth with a healthful, enjoyable leisure time activity, and to foster in them the qualities of sportsmanship, team play, and integrity. Teams from outside the geographic boundaries of Fairfax County may play in the FCYFL as long as they play with a youth club recognized by the FCYFL.
Our program is open to anyone in Arlington, ages range from 7 to 16 years old. Teams are divided up by a combination of age, weight and experience. This is a no-cut program, where everyone is selected for a team and each player must play a significant portion of every league game. For more information on FCYFL visit www.fcyfl.com.
