Our Mission
The Vail Vikings Youth Football and Spirit Association will ensure that every child with the desire to participate gets the opportunity to play or cheer, without regard to prior experience or athletic ability. We will instill in our youth the challenge of competition, the joy of victory, the reality of defeat, the importance of commitment and the spirit of community.
FIELD ACCESS
No individual may enter the practice or playing fields without the proper credentials. Per TYFSF policy you will be subject to ejection from the facility if you do. In case of player injury or emergency, please go to the player gate and ask for assistance.
Per TYFSF and AYF policy, dual participation in any other tackle football or cheer programs outside of TYFSF is prohibited.
Field Priority
All Cienega High School programs (football, band, etc.) have priority on the athletic fields. Vail Vikings Football and Spirit support all their efforts and we will not enter the fields until they have cleared or they give permission. Please help us by not entering until instructed. Thank you for understanding.
A very special thank you to our sponsors. Without them, this would not be possible.
Please support them the same way they have supported us.
