Chittenden East Youth Football Association is a Vermont not-
for-profit organization founded in 1999 to offer football to our
area youth. CEYFA players are from the Chittenden East
School District (Jericho, Underhill, Richmond, Bolton,
Huntington, and Westford). The program’s mission is to build
character and self-esteem in our community’s youth through
the experience of football. CEYFA coaching and
administration emphasizes a safe, positive, and personallyrewarding environment for all participants.
CEYFA is a member of the not-for-profit Northern Vermont
Youth Football League (NVYFL), an organization of 16 youth
football teams from northern Vermont towns. The league has
a tradition of enthusiastic competition between youth teams,
and offers an excellent venue for young athletes to
experience football.
CEYFA’s motto is “Intensity with Integrity”, and our program
prides itself on teamwork, sportsmanship and fun
Opponents and officials have commented on the positive
behavior displayed by our players and coaches. Many players
volunteer in our community in the name of the Wolverines.
CEYFA believes that completing a season of football provides
young men and women with leadership and friendship skills
that will last a lifetime. CEYFA also encourages parents to
research medical facts and injury statistics on their own and
will hopefully feel better about allowing their children to play
not only youth Football, but any team sport that places such
a high emphasis on safety. We also encourage skeptics to ask
families who have been a part of the Wolverine program what
their experience has been. If you have ever been to Mills
Riverside Park and watched a Wolverine Football practice or
game you know how special it is and the value it has for our
community.
Safety and risk of injury playing Football – Our sons and
daughters are the most precious possession we have. We
always want them safe and free from harm. Then why allow
them to play football or any sport that exposes them to risk
of injury?
Our answer is that the certain benefit can offset the risk of
serious injury. Youth Football builds confidence,
responsibility, camaraderie, leadership, understanding how
cooperation and teamwork is applied and promotes healthy
living. No doubt, Football is one of the sports that have a
higher risk of injury than some, yet it is behind bicycling and
basketball for emergency room visits according to the SAFE
KIDS Campaign and the American Academy of Pediatrics for
children ages 5 - 14.
Parents can have a perception that their children will be
required to consistently tackle and be tackled by kids twice or
three times their size - that is rarely true. We have three
levels of play at CEYFA; grades 2-4 participate in the flag
program and do not tackle, grades 5 & 6 age children are
introduced to tackle and play other 5th and 6th grade players
and 7th and 8th grade age children play each other. At
practice, we match kids up by size and experience to work

through drills. CEYFA participates within the Northern
Vermont Youth Football League that has an established set of
rules that restricts weights of ball carriers and mandates that
coaches be USA Football certified and Heads Up tackling
certified.
Football provides an opportunity for children of all shapes and
sizes to get onto the field and perform and develop
confidence. CEYFA teams are coached by local adults, mostly
parents who care about the well-being of the players, love the
game and put many hours into coaching that includes taking
and passing the USA Football Youth Coaches Certification
Course that provides coaches with a solid foundation for
safety. This training includes: proper technique, managing
safe drills, concussion awareness, hydration, general first aid
and communication. CEYFA also provides players some of the
best equipment available, in particular the helmets. Ou
helmets are approved by the National Operating Committee
for Standards for Athletic Equipment and are reconditioned
and retested.
CEYFA focuses on a fun, safe, and rewarding environment fo
our children to experience football. We hope you take the
time to explore what our program can offer.

Wolverine coaches place a high priority on safety, work ethic,
integrity, and fun. I find the most amazing aspect of the program
however to be my son's realization that a strenuous physical
activity can be so much fun. Through thoughtful planning and
preparation the coaches assure that hard work and fun come
hand in hand. My son literally runs across the MRP bridge excitedto attend practice; when he returns home he is physically tired,
yet he has a wide smile on his face already looking forward to his
next day of playing Wolverine football.”
- Patrick Burke, Wolverine Parent,
Principal South Burlington High School
“As an 8th grade teacher at Browns River Middle School, I
observe the positive impact Wolverine Football has on my
students every single day. The program builds a significant
community for these young men that spills over into the school.
The Wolverine players show real maturity and a sense of
leadership in my classroom, and throughout the school year they
lead by example. These are boys who are thinking about thepeople and the community around them. I attribute that to the
teamwork and the unselfishness taught by coaches and the
volunteers of the Wolverine Football Program.”
- Jeff Warren, 8th Grade Math/Science Teacher,
Browns River Middle School
“Youth football helped to form the person and athlete that I am
today, I cannot imagine where I would be without this great
program in my life.”
- Carter Glenn, 2013 Shrine Team Selection, Mount Mansfield
Football Tri-Captain, and Wolverine Player 2005-2008
“The Wolverine Football program has inspired my son to work
hard, give his all, be a positive role model for his peers and
improved his confidence and leadership qualities. Thank you
CEYFA and all of the volunteers that make this program happen
for our kids!” - Regina Limoge, Wolverine Parent
