BYSA is a charter member of the Central Arizona Youth Football and Cheer League, Inc., (CAYFL), which has jurisdiction within the boundaries of Maricopa County, Arizona. CAYFL, whose website is www.cayfl.net, plays under American Youth Football (AYF) national guidelines. AYF, headquartered in Miami, Florida, was established in 1996 as an international youth football organization to promote the wholesome development of youth football programs. The National Football League has recognized this firm commitment and has made AYF a "national youth partner". AYF is one of the fastest growing youth organizations in America and, within just six years, has become active in 44 states with over 350,000 participants. Three seasons ago, both the San Diego and Tucson metro areas made a switch from an affliliation from the Pop Warner program to AYF. Like CAYFL over the past year, both have seen huge growth and success at both the local and national levels, and have been helpful with the development of CAYFL.
