Armstrong Cooper Youth Football Association

Dear Parents and Players:

The Minnesota Department of Health has allowed outdoor youth sports to resume starting on June 24th.  We're on track to open registration in July, start practice in August, and play games in September and October. We believe we will have enough players to field the following teams:

• Two 8th grade teams
• Two 7th grade teams
• Two 6th grade teams
• One 5th/4th grade combined team

We currently don't have enough players to field a 3rd grade team, but that could change by the end of our registration period.  We plan to offer a 1st and 2nd grade instructional program again.

If you haven't completed the survey yet it's not too late.  It will take less than two minutes to complete and it will help us determine how many teams to plan for the season.  Please take the time to fill out this survey today by clicking here.

We need to publish a COVID-19 safety plan before we can return players back to the field for drills, practices, or games.  We will be working on this over the next couple of weeks and will make a copy available on this website when complete.
