The Madeira Community Youth Football Organization (MCYFO) is a new, community-driven youth football organization. We will provide Madeira families with an excellent youth football experience that will develop a love and appreciation for the game so that Madeira youth can learn the life lessons that football is designed to teach.

Football is unique in its ability to teach the importance of teamwork and discipline. The result of an excellent experience is the character and confidence that develops in those that participate. Most of us have fond memories of competing in youth sports and can recall the life lessons that those experiences taught us.

Youth sports should teach participants how to win and how to lose. Participants should learn that dedication to practice, their teammates, and adhering to the coaches' instruction will result in competitive games on the weekend. A schedule of approximately 8 games against programs of similar size which will shorten the season. Programs such as Mariemont, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, Miami Valley Christian Academy, St. Gertrude's, St. Vincent, and All Saints have all expressed interest in scheduling games with Madeira.

In short, we feel that Madeira is unique and that a program needs to be developed that works for Madeira's youth. The foundation of this program is based on input from the Madeira Community. For any questions please feel free to contact any of our board members. We welcome all suggestions and look forward to an exciting season of football in 2012.
