About us

Welcome to the Rogers Youth Football Association (RYFA), a proud non-profit organization dedicated to fostering youth development through the sport of football. We believe in providing an environment where young athletes can grow, learn, and thrive — both on and off the field.

At RYFA, we offer programs for both flag and tackle football players ranging from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Our goal is to introduce youth to the game of football in a fun, supportive, and educational setting, while emphasizing safety, teamwork, sportsmanship, and personal growth.

Our Football Programs

• Flag Football (K-8th Grade): Our flag football league is a non-contact program designed to give both boys and girls the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of football in a low-pressure, fun environment. It’s all about skill development, teamwork, and most importantly — having fun!
• Tackle Football (2nd-8th Grade):
• 2nd-3rd Grade: This league serves as our teaching, non-competitive travel league, where young athletes begin to learn football fundamentals in a supportive, hands-on setting.
• 4th-6th Grade: Our competitive travel league gives players the chance to develop their skills and compete against teams from other communities in the North Star Youth Football League.
• 7th-8th Grade: This highly competitive league plays in the TCNFL, where teams from multiple communities compete at an advanced level, providing athletes with the experience and training necessary to excel as they prepare to join the Rogers Royals Varsity football team.

Our Community & Values

RYFA is committed to serving the families in the ISD 728 school district, including the communities of Rogers, Otsego, Albertville, Dayton, and parts of St. Michael and Albertville. Our volunteer coaches — who are mostly parents themselves — are at the heart of our success. They dedicate their time and effort to helping our athletes improve their skills, grow in confidence, and develop a passion for the game of football.

Our core values include:

• Safety First: We prioritize the safety of all players by teaching proper techniques and providing a safe environment for the game.
• Sportsmanship: We believe in promoting respect, honesty, and integrity both on and off the field.
• Teamwork: We focus on building a sense of camaraderie among players and coaches, teaching the importance of collaboration and mutual support.
