MIGHTY MIGHT PROGRAM

RYF will also offer participation in a MIGHTY MITE program if there are enough players. The MIGHTY MITE team is for Grades 1 & 2

JUNIOR VARISTY TEAMS

Junior Varsity (JV) teams will be added based on roster sizes at each level. A minimum of 25 players must be enrolled to participate in the OCYFL JV program.

Team enrollment numbers are required to be reported to the league on 6/1/26. The enrollment will determine each teams eligibility to participate in the OCYFL JV program. The goal is to have enough athleetes so that RYF is able to participate in the JV program at every level. It's our belief it proiveds the best opportunity for all players to progress as well as maximizes in-game playing time in an environment that matches their size and skill level.
