The National Youth Football Organization (NYFO) is a fun competitive, non-contact way to play football. It is all passing and allows scoring both on the offense and defense. Passing is now the feature offense, and thus defense, of most teams. Passing, receiving, and defending the pass take a great deal of practice to master. Participating in 7 on 7 Spring League offers athletes an exceptional, competitive way to hone their skills thus increasing the speed of play, and improving timing, fundamentals, and game knowledge. “There will be a noticeable difference during next years Fall teams try-outs with those who participate in the spring league and those that don’t”, says league organizer, Bob Winstead

Participation in the National Youth Football Spring League is available for athletes to sign up with their Fall teams (School, Pop-Warner, Youth Leagues, etc) or as an individual. In an effort to assist the athletes and the local teams, Carolina Elite Football, the organizers, will make every attempt to keep teammates together. The league will also run the formations, route trees, and defensive formations of their organized Fall league teams. Input and assistance from Fall coaches is accepted and encouraged as allowed by their governing bodies or schools.
