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 again added eight new teams: Red Oak Orange, Red Oak Black, Shenandoah Silver, Shenandoah Maroon, Albany, Worth Co. Bethany Purple, and Bethany White. In 2008, we have added two teams from Osceola, two from Clarinda, two from Glenwood, one from Malvern, and one from Fremont-Miller-Tabor. 2009 brings in four more teams, three from Creston and one from Glenwood. With the league now at thirty-two teams, we will divide into three groups. The West with twelve, the North with ten, and the South with ten teams each. All three groups will be POIYFL affiliated.
