Travel Teams
Parents and Players
The Tri City Chargers Youth Football Association changed travel leagues last year from the Tri County Youth Football League to the American Youth Football League (AYF). As pleased as we were with TCYFA's Travel Teams last year, with all 5 travel teams reaching their respective Super Bowl games, the Chicago AYF Region has decided to leave the AYF and join the United Youth Football League (UYFL) for 2011. TCYFA supports this decision and hence, will also be moving TCYFA's travel program to the UYFL. Many hours were spent researching and discussing the positives and the negatives that ALL the Chicagoland Leagues have to offer. The criteria used to make our decision was, flexibility, competition, travel distance, weights, and keeping our CFL league.
