About Us

Meetings were held in the Fall of 2004 and Spring of 2005 in Osceola to begin the formation of a new youth football league in Southern Iowa. A group of 18 people worked together to form the POIYFL. The Pride of Iowa Youth Football League began play in the Fall of 2005 with six teams - I-35 White, I-35 Blue, East Union, Lamoni/Leon, Bedford, and Corning. In 2006 the league doubled in size by adding Ringgold Raider White, Ringgold Raider Black, Nodaway Valley, Central Decatur, MstM, and SEW. In 2007 the league will again add 8 new teams. 2008 we have added 2 teams from Osceloa, 2 from Clarinda, and 2 from Glenwood. 1 from Malvern and 1 Fremont-Mills-Tabor.
