East Haven Youth Football is one of thirteen leagues that make up the Shoreline Youth Football Conference. The goal of the SYFC is to provide the largest number of pre-high school aged youth with a positive experience in the game of football. Its objectives are that the participants must have fun, should learn the values of team sports and discipline, and should learn the fundamentals of the game of football.

SYFC member towns:  Amity (Woodbridge/Bethany/Orange), Branford, Cheshire, Clinton, East Haven, Guilford, Madison, Milford, North Branford (N. Bfd., Middlefield, Durham) North Haven, Old Saybrook (O.S., Westbrook, Lyme, Old Lyme), Tritown (Deep River, Essex, Chester, Haddam, Killingworth ).

Equipment: Each player will receive every necessary piece of equipment except for cleats and a protective cup. Each season all of EHYF equipment is sanitized, inspected, and reconditioned to meet all standards of safety. Player must be present when picking up equipment. 

During the season a conflict such as a vacation, church activity, schoolwork, or health concern may arise that forces a player to miss a practice. If there is going to be a conflict please notify a coach as soon as possible.

Playing time: The SYFC has a rule that requires every participant to play a minimum number of plays in a game. This minimum is based upon the number of eligible players on the day of a game.
