Welcome to the Iowa "Little Pro" Youth Football Association. Our goal is to develop well rounded youth who not only learn the fundamentals of football, but also the importance of education, in an atmosphere conducive to developing sound mind, body and character - and having a good time along the way. We practice the ideals of sportsmanship, scholarship and physical fitness. Our program stresses learning lessons of value far beyond the playing days, such as self-discipline, teamwork, leadership and good sportsmanship. The ILPYFA is a non-profit organization established to promote the development and maintenance of a supervised, youth-based football program serving the communities of Central Iowa. We endeavor to educate players, parents, coaches and the community concerning the inherent beneficial aspects of a competitive tackle youth football program and the positive impact the principles of hard work, cooperation, playing hard, obeying the rules and treating everyone as an equal, have on the youth of our communities. We recognize the important, healthy and satisfying role that structured athletic competition provides for the millions of youth who choose to participate in a variety of sports provided by youth leagues and programs across the country on a yearly basis. Our objective is to provide this invaluable opportunity to the youth of our communities, while functioning under the philosophy that the attainment of exceptional athletic skill or the winning of games will always be secondary to molding and creating an environment conducive to the fundamental and productive development of future citizens.
