Introducing New for 2020 Modified Football Check it out

Modified Football will be in the Fall of 2020 from Feb till the 1st week of April. All games on Sat mornings, will have a playoff weekend, and Championship Weekend at end of season.

PYF "Modified Football" is a very LOW IMPACT sport of football, with the mentality that "NO ONE GOES TO THE GROUND". This is a two hand touch game of football with the correct fundamentals used for blocking "HANDS FIRST" approach.

With blocking allowed, the entire run game is incorporated. We use traditional point scoring and 1st down yardage so on 3rd and 9, our players learn to look for the draw or screen. Along with the pass rush, Modified Football allows for blitzing. Blitz recognition and pick up is an essential part of the game that should be mastered at the youth level. In order to pick up the blitz, you have to have somewhere to shoot the hands and have a solid base. Separate from tackle, our game implements a two-hand touch model forcing each player to use correct angles, breakdown, and tag off on the ball carrier with both hands forward and the head up. Due to the lack of hard-shell gear, we want to ensure a controlled start to every play so we don’t allow 3-point stances. As a defensive end takes off from his two-point stance, he isn’t allowed to bull rush. We want our athletes to develop the more difficult techniques such as the rip, swim, spin, etc. The biggest difference is the exclusion of the head from our game. We can’t control accidents, but our rules dictate there is absolutely no contact to the head in Modified Football.

9v9 allows Modified Football's scheme to directly correlate to 11v11 tackle football, coaches can run their favorite offense or defense. Whether you want to run the spread option, pull an O-lineman for the Power O, or call a Cover 2 or 4 defense, Modified Football enables you to play real football.Offense:

1QB, 3OL, 5 Eligible Skill Players

Defense: 2 DL, 3 LB’s, 4 DB’s
