Danville Youth Football (DYF) is a nonprofit, volunteer youth football and cheer organization serving the children of the Danville Independent School District. Students are eligible to participate in football from age 6-12 and in cheerleading from age 5-12.

DYF operates through the Danville Independent School System and the Danville High School Athletic Department. Accordingly, DYF is committed to providing a youth football program commensurate to the tradition of our high school counterpart, the Danville Admirals.

DYF is a member of The Central Kentucky Wilderness Trace Youth Football Conference along with Boyle County, Garrard County, Lincoln County and Mercer County.

We hope that your family will join us as we endeavor to teach football and cheerleading with an emphasis on enjoyment, sportsmanship and sound character.

Hydration Guidelines

To insure proper hydration for youth athletes it is important that they drink sufficient water to replace fluid lost during activity. Thirst is not a good indicator of  hydration needs. Children need to drink water routinely. Thirty minutes prior to practice and games  children should drink 12-16 ounces of water. During activity, periodic drinking should be enforced regardless of thirst. Every 20 minutes the athlete should consume: 5 ounces of fluid for individuals weighing 90 lbs or less  and 9 ounces of fluid for individuals weighing more than 90 lbs. After activity drinking should continue every 20 minutes for an hour. Continue drinking water throughout the day while minimizing consumption of soft drinks. A pale yellow urine stream is a good indicator of proper hydration. A dark yellow urine stream is indicative of dehydration.
