A Message From the Executive Board

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all parents and guardians for the confidence that you have shown in our program by entrusting us with the care and development of your children.  This is a responsibility that we take very seriously and promise to make every effort to live up to your expectations.  We would like to stress that we will make ourselves available to anyone who has any questions, problems, or ideas regarding the program.  Please feel free to reach out to any of our staff members and we look forward to seeing you at the field and becoming acquainted with all of our Red Raider families.

 

About Our Program

The Perth Amboy Youth Football League (PAYFL) "Red Raiders" is a non-profit organization.  We have been sponsoring youth football and cheerleading since 1987, for local children ages 9 to 14.  From our inception, when we fielded approximately 60 football players, we have grown to our present capacity of 150 football players and cheerleaders.  From a rookie "expansion organization" in the New Jersey Suburban Youth Football League (NJSYFL), we have grown into a respected contender.  We have been the LEAGUE CHAMPIONS three times in the "C" or lightweight division, once in the "B" or middleweight division, and twice in the "A" or heavyweight division.  Our youth have also served as ambassadors, improving the perception of Perth Amboy among the other league municipalities by their demeanor, talent, and sportsmanship.  When playing in towns with much higher median incomes and greater resources, we often have more spectators in the stands than the home team does.  Our Executive Board is very highly regarded by the NJSYFL and is often called upon for advice and suggestions by the other programs.

 

Division Grade Level Backfield Weight Limit
"A" - Heavyweights 8th 150
"B " - Middleweights 7th 125
"C" - Lightweights 6th 110
"D" - Instructional 5th 95


A Word On Safety

Safety is and always has been our first priority.  No youth goes out on the field without quality protective equipment.  We spend approximately $350 per football player on safety equipment and uniforms.  The manufacturer as required by safety standards certifies all helmets.  Each of our coaches is certified through the National Youth Sports Coaches Association (NYSCA).
