Barrington Youth Football Kick Off

Barrington Youth Football will be kicking off another exciting football season with its Kick Off Event on Sunday August 19th at the BHS Stadium.  Over 800 BYF athletes will be participating representing the travel tackle program and intramural flag program.    Each division will start their day with the rollout of the 2012 BYF Sports Leader program that focuses on three core attributes of respect, humility and courage.   Through the use of a “word of the week” BYF encourages the conversation between coaches and players about important life values and personal characteristics that we are trying to promote in our young athletes.  Players will then take their team and individual photos and participate in the BYF Punt, Pass and Kick competition.   Several local vendors will be on site to provide discounted food and games for the players and their families.  Over 2,000 people are planned to attend.
