Rowan County Youth Football League

This journey has been a memorable one but today it ends as we announce the retirement of our Board of Directors, Debbie Loflin-Benge, Mike Kennerly and Kent Ryan. Along with this retirement comes the end of an era with the ending of Rowan County Youth Football League. Although we are saddened that this time in our lives has come to an end, we are excited to announce that we are not walking away without a plan for the current and upcoming kids of Rowan County. Please visit Rowan-Salisbury Youth Football League at the attached link. Two of our long time coaches with RCYFL, KC Coffey and Martin Rogers are starting a new league. We have donated all of the RCYFL equipment to this league and wish them the very best in continuing to provide the kids and the community with a youth football and cheerleading opportunity. We support them and hope you will as well. Thank you to all of the families we have met and who have supported us since 1987. We have met some wonderful people and friends over the years. We will miss this but we look forward to enjoying life and youth sports from the spectators view going forward.
