A bunch of folks hating but they aren't volunteering themselves as coaches, referees, or part of the administration of the league. VOLUNTEERS do it because while football is under attack, it is still a team sport that builds character for youth. That said, a lot of parents are mad that little Johnny is riding the bench, isn't the QB, or other position player, or mad at a particular organization. That's not on TYFA. If it's so horrible, make a league for youth football to compete with it yourself. Or get involved and try to change things for the better. Is TYFA perfect? No. Nothing is. Is there anyone else out there doing it better? I'd like to hear about them if so. The fact is that these kids get out there and play because they want to. Win, lose, or draw, kids are learning the game, learning to be a part of a team, and focusing on common goals. All things most people want their children to learn to be well rounded individuals in society. It's clear some adults have either forgotten, or never learned those lessons. If your bad review is because you don't agree with a team, fine. But that's not on TYFA. They try to create a level and fair playing field for all teams. As with any sport, no one is going to agree on every call. But if you're upset about how a game is called, again, that's not TYFA. If you have a daughter and a son, there's nothing better than seeing her cheer for her brother. Football & cheer make for great family activities. If your complaint is about a cheer coach, let's you Don your pom poms & do it better. From the kids, to the parents, you get out of it...
Read moreTYFA does a terrible job keeping children safe on the field and ejecting players who mean to cause harm. The refs do not understand what they are doing and have to carry the rules because they are confused. I personally do not feel my child is safe or his teammates in the TYFA program. Do better. By the way, they allow knives as long as they are not longer “than your hand” and only have two police at the stadiums knowing it’s not a safe environment. Guy taunted a knife the entire game. Then caused a fight outside of the stadium. Pretty...
Read moreManny of the SA Panthers is useless. Manny has no back bone, does not stand up for his volunteer coaches. Manny does not care about the people that do the work it takes to make the teams happen, he only cares about making money off them. Your organization is a joke & that's why you just barely had enough players to even make a team. You're not good at this , bro, stick to your day job. This game today was an injustice on the Junior coaches and most of all the team. I will let everyone with ears know exactly what I think about Manny & his...
