season. Formation of the league in 1993 marked the return of Pee
Wee Football to the Parma, Parma Heights, and Seven Hills area.

currently playing on their high school teams.

TRI-CITY YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE ATHLETIC PHILOSOPHY
|
We believe the TCYFL focuses on the total development of each
child. They significantly influence the formation of values in all
participants.
TCYFL must provide not only for the development of particular
physical skills but also social interaction and emotional stability.
Consciously, we work with our young people as whole persons. The
young person, not the athletic activity, is our key focus.
We believe that the TCYFL should be well organized and
maintain standards of high quality.
We believe that all who have the opportunity to be on a team should
also have the right to participate in the game.
Central to TCYFL is the coach. The coach sets the tone and gives direction
to any team. The coach's challenge is to take those teachable moments of
victory or loss and to teach values by the manner which he/she mentors
young people.
Successes are important for any team. It is the role of the coach to enable
the young person not to see success only in terms of winning, more
importantly, the coach teaches, that by setting achievable personal and team
goals and reaching those goals, everyone is successful and a "winner". In
the TCYFL the effort of individuals striving to achieve team goals and at
the same time having fun.
Athletic programs which promote sportsmanship and build character do not
just look at what is being emphasized in winning or losing, they are
concerned with the individual as a whole person. Their TCYFL provides
and atmosphere of care, growth and enjoyment for each child.
