Welcome to Novato Youth Football & Cheer!
We are a non-profit, 501(c)3 tax exempt youth football and cheer organization dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of football and cheer to our youth as well as focusing on academics. We are a member of the NORCAL conference within the national structure provided by American Youth Football (AYF). Novato Youth Football and Cheer is very fortunate to have the many board members, coach volunteers, and parent volunteers that keep our program moving forward. Our partnership with the school districts, the two local high schools and generous sponsors allows us to provide our kids with the best fields, equipment and facilities. We encourage each of you to get involved in 2011!

When the score is mounting against your team, it gets easy to lose perspective. Against the Richmond Steelers, the scores got uglier and uglier for the Novato teams as the games progressed. The Steelers won all four games handily, beating the Mighty Bees 31-6, topping the Killer Bees 40-6, besting the Stingers 34-6 and downing the Yellow Jackets 45-20. Read more >
