Mission:
Provide the best, safest, and most enjoyable football experience for all youth athletes of Riverside who want to play regardless of financial situations. Promote and encourage upstanding young men and women with emphasis on hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship.
SAFL Commitment:
SAFL is founded on the premise of "every kid who wants to play will play". SAFL builds a foundation of future leaders with the commitment of respect, hard work, dedication, and loyalty. We believe in a strong community because of this you will see SAFL helping at many community events around Riverside.
SAFL is a structured, yet fun, football and cheer program that strives for girls and boys to participate. From the early stages of grades 3rd through 6th our youth athletes will learn fundamentals and not developing bad habits in football will make a better and safer game.
Athletes will learn offensive and defensive schemes to improve their development in football. Every coach shall have a full national background check and shall be scrutinized for fair play, safety, and unbiased abilities. Every coach shall have USA Football Heads Up certification prior to beginning coaching. Coaches shall not receive any type of pay supplement and shall coach based on each individual child’s interest and skill level.
Sportsmanship and Respect:
RESPECT, It's the name of the game.
SAFL is committed to establishing a positive competitive environment for our athletes and fans. It's our responsibility to be fully accountable at every level as we support student success.
