Lions Youth Football Clubhe Lions Youth Football Club (LYFC) is a member in good standing with the Greater Puget Sound Youth Football League (GPSYFL). The club was founded in 2005 by a local group of football parents and enthusiasts that saw a need and an opportunity to bring an affordable, quality tackle football program to our youth in the Tacoma area. The founders wanted to create a fun experience for kids that allowed both young boys and girls to learn critical football skills and engage in a well rounded fitness development program. The program is open to all kids in the 4th through 8th grade levels and/or no younger than 7 and no older than 16 years of age.

In just five years, Lions Youth Football Club has risen to critical acclaim and starting to turn heads in the GPSYFL as well from other leagues in the Western Washington area. The success of this club is attributed to sound non-profit operations, consistent fundraising efforts, effective collaboration with volunteer parents, coaches and board members, commitment to the LYFC Mission Statement and a consistent desire to improve.
